Simpson Strong-Tie BP 1/2 - 1/2" Bolt Dia. 2" x 2" Bearing Plate The BP bearing plate is designed to provide a greater bearing surface than standard-cut washers, effectively distributing the load at critical connections. It transfers concentrated compressive forces between two structural elements and is available with a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. This plate is sized for common anchor bolt sizes, including 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", and 1".
