The Strong-Tie ABU series of adjustable post bases provide a 1" standoff for the post and are slotted for adjustability. The Simpson ABU44Z adjustable post base is approved to be installed with the specified nails, Strong-Drive SD connector screws or specified machine bolts. The Simpson Strong-Tie ABU44Z post base features a G185 ZMAX galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.
ABU
- Place the standoff base and then the post in the ABU.
- Fasten using nails or Strong-Drive SD structural connector screws or bolts (ABU88, ABU1010 – SDS optional).
Features
- The slot in the base enables flexible positioning around the anchor bolt, making precise post placement easier
- The 1" standoff helps prevent rot at the end of the post and meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners.
- Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
- Place the base, load transfer plate and nut on the anchor bolt. Loosely tighten the nut.
