Simpson Strong-Tie's LCE4Z is part of the LCE series of post caps that provide an economical and effective solution for connecting beams in end-supported wood framing. Its pre-punched nail holes support precise, fast installation and reduce the need for field modifications. Designed for nominal 4x beams and 4x posts, the LCE4Z helps maintain structural alignment while resisting splitting and displacement over time. Whether used in new construction or retrofit framing, this light post cap supports long-lasting performance under variable load conditions, backed by Simpson Strong-Tie's engineering and testing standards.
