Notice - This connector is designed for Rough Cut lumber NOT nominal lumber (most common). This will only fit a post that measures an actual 4x4. If you have a nominal post measuring 3-1/2x3-1/2 you will need an ABU44Z Post base
The Strong-Tie ABU series of adjustable post bases provide a 1 standoff for the post and are slotted for adjustability. The R series of post bases are designed exclusively for use with rough cut lumber. The ABU44RZ adjustable post base is approved to be installed with the specified nails, Strong-Drive SD connector screws or specified machine bolts. The Strong-Tie ABU44RZ 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.
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
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).
NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
