Overview

The ABB AP235HDGC Diagonal Post Base is a hot-dip galvanized steel connector designed for heavy-duty post mounting in structural applications. This connector features a 3-1/2" post height, 3-3/4" post width, and 1-5/8" post length, with a 6" x 6" base plate for secure attachment. The 3/4" hole diameter accommodates bolts, lag screws, or threaded rods, ensuring compatibility with standard 4x4 posts and similar dimensional lumber. The diagonal design of the AP235HDGC reduces stress concentrations at the post-to-base junction, enhancing structural integrity under load. This connector is ideal for utility poles, guardrail systems, signage structures, and temporary fencing. Made from corrosion-resistant hot-dip galvanized steel, it withstands outdoor, high-moisture, and chemically aggressive conditions. Part of ABB Installation Products' structural connectors line, the AP235HDGC meets industry standards for load-bearing capacity and environmental resilience, providing a reliable solution for demanding applications.
