I was looking at the Simpson catalog on pg 11, and it recommends that all connectors be stainless steel, not galvanized, if the wood in contact with the connectors has a preservative content of ACQ/MCQ > 0.40 lb’ft3 …
So my question is, for a project on the beachfront, should we anticipate the wood having an ACQ content this high? How do I know what ACQ content the wood treater will use? And what is the $ difference between galvanized and SS finish?
