Installation

View step-by-step installation instructions

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, mudsill anchors are one piece so there are no more nuts and washers to lose.

LMAZ - an economical replacement for 1/2" sill plate anchor bolts

MA - for slab or stem wall construction

MAB - anchors mudsill to concrete block, poured walls or slab foundations

Material: LMAZ, MAB - 18 gauge; MA - 16 gauge

Finish: MA, MAB - Galvanized (some available in ZMAX® coating)
LMAZ - ZMAX® only. See Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
CMU shall have a minimum f'_m = 1500 psi and concrete shall have a minimum f'_c = 2000 psi.
Not for use where a horizontal cold joint exists between the slab and foundation wall or footing beneath, unless provisions are made to transfer the load.
Not for use in slabs poured over foundation walls formed of concrete block or with brick and 4" masonry block stemwalls.

Loads have been increased for short-term loading.
For uplift loads, provide attachment from mudsill to building’s structural components to prevent cross-grain bending.
MA installed attachsed to the stud has no load reduction for parallel loads, has a perpendicular load of 670 lbs. and an uplift of 835 lbs.
LMAZ installed attached to the stud has no load reduction for parallel and perpendicular loads and an uplift of 600 lbs. for LMA4 and 835 lbs. for LMA6.
For stemwall applications, allowable loads are based on a minimum stemwall width of 6".
Testing to new ICC-ES acceptance criteria to be completed in 2009. Refer to this website for latest loads and information.
NAILS: 10dx1 1/2" = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
