Cold-Formed Steel: BP/LBP Bearing Plates

Bearing plates give greater bearing surface than standard cut washers, and help distribute the load at these critical connections.

The BP1/2-3 and BP5/8-3 are available uncoated or with a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish.

Material: See table

Finish:

LBP, LBPS & BP5/8S - Galvanized;
BP7/8-2 - Zinc Plated;
BPS, BP - None.
BP's may be ordered hot-dipped galvanized (HDG); LBP and LBPS products may be ordered ZMAX®; check with Simpson Strong-Tie. See Corrosion Information.

Installation:

See General Notes.
