27 Concrete Connectors FA/FAP/HFA/FJA/FSA Foundation Anchors This series is for retrofit or new construction. These products may be used together as a system or in individual applications, designed and tested for earthquake and high wind conditions. FA and HFA Foundation Anchors eliminate vertical drilling by nailing into the top of the mudsill. They facilitate installation when vertical space is limited, and resist forces between the foundation and mudsill. The FAP Plate connects the mudsill to the foundation. Designed to provide lateral load resistance. FJA Foundation Joist Anchor nails or bolts directly into floor joist, and provides a direct connection between the foundation and joist. It provides uplift and lateral resistance. FSA Foundation Stud Anchor nails or bolts to floor joist, or nails to stud. Plywood shearwall may require notching with stud-to-foundation installation. MATERIAL: FAP 7 gauge; all others 12 gauge FINISH: Galvanized. May be ordered HDG, check with our factory. See Corrosion Information, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. Select and install concrete anchor bolts in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Use the RFB#4x6 with Epoxy-Tie for the anchorage system. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Allowable loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern. 2. For redwood mudsills, reduce F1 on HFA to 1215 lbs, and 840 lbs on FAP. 3. Spacing to be specified by the Designer. 4. FAP shall use a minimum SDS wood screw length of 2 plus the shim thickness. 5. The shim must be fastened to the mudsill by means other than the FAP wood screw. 6. See page 20 for SDS wood screw information. 7. FAP may be installed with HDG lag bolts. Follow code requirements for predrilling. 8. NAILS: 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. Typical FSA Installation Foundation to Joist Typical FA Installation Foundation to Mudsill Slotted for easy bending for trapezoid foundations Typical FAP Installation Foundation to Mudsill Typical FSA Installation Foundation to Stud Add a shim between plate and sill when space is between and 1 ". When space exceeds 1 use the FA or HFA. The shim must be fastened to the mudsill by means other than the FAP SDS wood screw. FJA/FSA Typical FJA Installation Foundation to Joist FA8 (FA6 similar) HFA6 (HFA8 similar) FAP (screws not included) Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory.
