Mudsill anchor provide an alternative to anchor bolts. They easily mount on forms and make finishing easier. The unique design provides installation flexibility, eliminating problems with misplaced anchor bolts. Suitable for stem wall or slab foundations, they also eliminate the need for plate drilling. Mudsill anchors are one piece, so there are no more nuts and washers to lose.

The different models of mudsill anchors are designed for specific applications:

MAS - installed at the top of the form
MASP - for panelized forms
MASB - used in concrete masonry units.

Material: 16 gauge

Finish: Galvanized, all available in ZMAX® finish. See Corrosion Information.

topPrescriptive Anchor Spacing:

Table
  1. Place anchors not more than 1' from the end of each sill per code.
  2. Spacing is based on parallel to plate load direction only.
  3. CMU shall have a minimum f'm = 1500 psi and concrete shall have a minimum f'c = 2000 psi.
  4. Spacing applies to DF, SP, and HF 2x sill plates.
  5. For installations to rim joist or blocking, MASB spacing is 1'-10" for replacing 1/2" bolts and 1'-6" for 5/8" bolts. MAS and MASP remain the same as the table.

top Load Table:See code report listings below

Table
  1. Loads have been increased for short-term loading.
  2. For uplift loads, provide attachment from mudsill to building's structural components to prevent cross-grain bending.
  3. MAS installed with 1 leg attached to stud has loads of 435 lbs. (uplift), 700 lbs. (parallel to plate) and 240 lbs. (perpendicular to plate).
  4. MASB installed with 1 leg attached to stud has load of 960 lbs. (parallel to plate) and 360 lbs. (perpendicular to plate).
  5. For stemwall applications, allowable loads are based on a minimum stemwall width of 6".
  6. For MAS/MASP attached to a HF sill plate, allowable loads shall be Uplift = 680 lbs., F1 = 835 lbs., F2 = 255 lbs.
  7. For simultaneous loads in more then one direction, the connector must be evaluated as described in note q, Instructions for the Installer.
  8. Stud to plate connectors must be installed on the same side of the plate as the MAS or MASB straps to complete the continuous load path.
  9. NAILS: 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
top MAS/MASB Installed to Rim Board or Blocking Over Max 1/2" Plywood or OSB

Table
  1. Rim board or blocking shall be a minimum of 1 1/8" thick.
