Post anchors secure nominal sized posts to wood surfaces for light-duty applications. Use all specified fasteners. These are not recommended for fence posts or other unrestrained (not fixed or fastened at top) applications. These anchors are not designed to resist overturning (moment) loads. While D series post anchors offer some lateral and uplift resistance, they are not recommended as a primary means of anchorage for posts in railings. They may be used only for intermediate posts between fully anchored corner or end posts in rail systems. Codes: ESR-1280, L.A. City RR 25749, FL11664.
