      <p>SSWAB Anchor Bolts SSWAB anchor bolts in 3/4" and 1" diameters offer flexibility to meet specific project demands. Inspection is easy; the head is stamped with a No-Equal&reg; symbol for identification, bolt length, bolt diameter, and optional &ldquo;HS&rdquo; for High Strength if specified. </p>

      <p><strong>Material:</strong> ASTM F1554 Grade 36; High Strength (HS) ASTM A449 </p>

      <p><em>An additional nut for template installation is provided with each SSWAB. It may also be used for SSW installation.</em></p>

      <p>SSWHSR allows for anchorage in tall stemwall applications where full embedment of an SSWAB into the footing is required. The head is stamped for identification like an SSWAB. Kit includes ASTM A449 high-strength rod with heavy hex nut fixed in place and high strength coupler nut. Do not use in place of SSWAB.</p>
