Also see additional standoff bases.

The AB is an adjustable post base which offers moisture protection and finished hardware appearance.

These post bases 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 gauge plates; 16 gauge base cover; all others - see table.

Finish: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Some products may be installed with our new Strong-Drive® SD screw - click here for details

top Load Tables:See code report listings below
Table
  1. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading.

Table
Some of these models are load-rated for use with Strong-Drive® SD Screws.
See the load values.
  1. Uplift and lateral loads have been increased for wind or earthquake load durations; no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern.
  2. Downloads may not be increased for short-term loading.
  3. Specifier to design concrete for shear capacity.
  4. ABU products may be installed with either bolts OR nails (not both) to achieve table loads. ABU88 and ABU88R may be installed with 8-SDS 1/4"x3" wood screws (sold separately) for the same table load.
  5. For AB bases, higher download can be achieved by solidly packing grout under 1" standoff plate before installation. Base download on column, grout, or concrete according to the code.
  6. HB dimension is the distance from the bottom of the post up to the first bolt hole.
  7. Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. For SCL columns, the fasteners for these products should always be installed in the wide face.
  8. NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See other nail sizes and information.
