Load Tables
These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
See footnotes below.
- Allowable bearing stress for masonry is based on an f'c of 1,500 psi using the IBC (ACI 530) Allowable Stress Design. Wood bearing is based on an f'c-perp of 650 psi.
- When installing on masonry, use the lesser of the masonry or the wood allowable load values. When installing on concrete, use a minimum f'c = 2,500 psi and use the wood values as the limiting allowable bearing load values.
- Allowable horizontal loads are bolt values and include increase for wind or earthquake loading. Loads must be reduced if stresses in masonry or concrete are limiting.
- Beams must fully bear on base plate.
- Specify "W" dimension when ordering.
- Uplift loads do not apply for this connector.
