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®; see Corrosion-Resistance.

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 easyaccess nut over the supplied washer, place the standoff base, then bend up the fourth side and nail all sides.
• 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.
• Refer to technical bulletin T-ANCHORSPEC for post-installed anchorage solutions.
