The Simpson Strong-Tie DOSCZ-KT1 is an engineered solution designed to securely fasten a deck beam to a concrete or masonry foundation wall. This specialized connector features an integrated standoff gap that is critical for preventing moisture-related decay, a common failure point in decks built against foundations. 

• Structural Load Path: Provides a strong, tested connection to safely transfer vertical loads (gravity) from the deck beam directly into the foundation wall.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for decks, patios, pergolas, or any elevated structure where a wood member needs a durable, offset connection to a concrete or block wall.
• Eliminates Improper Methods: Replaces time-consuming and often non-code-compliant field methods for separating wood from concrete.
