ABA44 (other sizes similar) U.S. Patent 5,333,435 Typical AB Installation ABU88 The AB is an adjustable post base which offers moisture protection and finished hardware appearance. Post Bases provide tested capacity. They feature 1" standoff height above concrete floors, code-required when supporting permanent structures that are exposed to the weather or water splash, or in basements. They reduce the potential for decay at post and column ends. MATERIAL: AB 12 ga plates; 16 ga base cover; all others see table. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in Z-MAX; see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. 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). AB supplied as shown; position the post, secure the easy-access nut, then bend up the fourth side. AB, ABA, ABE and ABU for pre-pour installed anchors. For epoxy or wedge anchors, select and install according to anchor manufacturer's recommendations; anchor diameter shown in table. Install required washer, which is not included for ABAs. See Simpson Anchor Systems for tested, load-rated anchors and request T-ANCHORSPEC for more information. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. AB ABU44 (other sizes similar) Additional standoff bases are on page 187. Anchor Bolt per Designer, or consult T-ANCHORSPEC catalog Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory.
