Installation
- Use all specified fasteners.
- Do not use lag bolts. Washers are not required for anchor bolts or between holdown and bolt hex head, but standard washers should be used against stud or post under the nut. See BP/LBP Bearing Plate series Click here.
- Bolt holes should be a minimum of 1/32″ to a maximum of 1/16″ larger than the bolt diameter (as per NDS® specifications).
- See STB Anchor Bolt series Click here for anchorage options. A design professional may specify alternate anchorage with conventional anchor bolts.
- A design professional shall determine the adequacy of the stud to resist published loads. Holdown fasteners specified shall not be considered to attach multiple plies together.
- Self-jigging models are designed to provide the required minimum end distance of 7 bolt diameters from the bottom of the stud or post to the centerline of the first bolt hole.
- Tighten anchor bolt nuts to finger tight plus 1/3 to 1/2 additional turns with a wrench. Wood members may shrink over time; if possible, nut tightness should be checked periodically.
- If used to anchor a built-up post, such as a double 2 x 4, the post component shall be designed to act as a single unit.
