Notice – This connector is designed for Rough Cut lumber NOT nominal lumber (most common). This will only fit a post that measures an actual 8×8″. If you have a nominal post measuring 7-1/2×7-1/2″ you will need an ABU88Z 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 Strong-Tie ABU88RHDG post base features a hot-dip galvanized coating. The minimum average coating weight is 2.0 oz./ft2 (per ASTM A123 total both sides). This product requires hot-dip galvanized fasteners (fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153). Anchor bolts are hot-dip galvanized per ASTM F2329.
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
