      <h2>Rod-to-Steel-Beam Connector (ATS-SBC)</h2>
      <p>The rod-to-steel-beam connector (ATS-SBC) features a threaded rod and weldable plate for use on projects where the run is to be anchored to steel beams.</p>
      <ul class="pl-3">
        <h3 class="h4">Installation:</h3>
        <li>Prepare base metal on steel beam in accordance with AWS D1.1.</li>
        <li><strong>For SBC7P, SBC9P, SBC5P and SBC6P:</strong> weld the place to steel beam
          on two opposing sides of the place with a full-length fillet weld less a ¼"
          holdback from each corner.</li>
        <li><strong>For SBC8P, SBC10P, SBC11P and SBC12P:</strong> weld the place to steel
          beam on all four sides of the place with a full-length fillet weld less a ¼"
          holdback from each corner.</li>
        <li>All fillet welds F<sub>EXX</sub>, to be greater than or equal to 70 ksi.</li>
        <li>Follow weld geometry and standards per AISC 360-16 and AWS 2017.</li>
        <li>Thread the rod into the SBCP plate until fully seated, ensuring the rod
          bottoms out against the beam.</li>
        <li>To ensure proper thread engagement, measure the length of the rod
          extending above the plate and subtract the plate thickness (listed in the
          table below). The result should match the overall rod length.</li>
        <li>Minimum flange thickness of 0.258" is required for the structural beam.</li>
        <li>Web stiffener requirements including quantity, size and welding
          specifications by designer.</li>
      </ul>

      <ol>
        <li>SBCP thread specification is UNC Class 2B, in accordance with ANSE/ASMR B1.1.</li>
        <li>Threaded rods sold separately. Order Simpson Strong-Tie standard-strength threaded rods (ATR) for SBCP7 and SBCP9. Order Simpson Strong-Tie high-strength threaded rods (ATS-HSR) for all other SBCP models.</li>

      <h2>Wood-Beam Plate (WBP)</h2>
      <p>The wood-beam plate is for projects where the rod run attaches to wood beams. The center hole of the bearing plate has internal threads to receive the threaded rod from above, and the plate spreads the load across the underside of the wood beam. Two SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (provided with the kit) are to be installed through the WBP fastener holes and into the wood beam to support the weight of the bearing plate and rod above. This eliminates the need for an additional smaller bearing plate and nut on the top side  of the beam.</p>
      <ul class="pl-3">
        <h3 class="h4">Installation:</h3>
        <li>Drill a continuous hole, ¼" diameter larger than the threaded rod,
          through the sole plate and wood beam.</li>
        <li>Fasten the WBP to the underside of the wood beam with provided
          SDS screws.</li>
        <li>Thread rod through the WBP until there is sufficient length below the
          beam to fully thread the heavy hex nut.</li>
        <li>Thread the provided heavy hex nut to the threaded rod until snug tight
          with the WBP.</li>
        <li>Ensure that the rod extends at least one thread past the heavy hex nut.</li>
