In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

About Product Overview

The AC4Z is an adjustable post cap from Simpson Strong-Tie, built to connect a post to the beam above it in deck and post-frame construction. Made from 18-gauge steel with ZMax coating for extra corrosion resistance, it's a solid choice for outdoor structures exposed to weather. The adjustable design gives you flexibility on the job site when post and beam alignment isn't perfectly square.

  • 18-gauge steel construction
  • ZMax coating for added corrosion resistance
  • Takes 16d joist fasteners
  • Dimensions: 5.5" x 6.5"
  • Made in the USA

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
