The Simpson Strong-Tie MASAP Mudsill Anchor for Panelized Forms is a 16-gauge G90 galvanized steel anchor engineered to deliver a fast, reliable alternative to traditional anchor bolts when working with panelized concrete forms. Designed specifically for panelized form installations, the MASAP provides greater load-carrying capacity as an alternative to 5/8-in. and 1/2-in. mudsill anchor bolts on 2x, double-2x, and 3x mudsills. It eliminates the need for 3-in. square plate washers for seismic design and, in some cases, offers load capacities that meet or exceed the parallel- and perpendicular-to-plate shear capacity of other cast-in-place anchors - all while dramatically reducing installation time and labor on the job site.

Key Features

• Attaches easily to the concrete form for quick installation
• No labor costs involved in drilling plates and aligning holes
• Flat design eliminates chances of modification in prefabricated walls
• Eliminates the need to notch studs due to anchor bolts being placed where they will interfere
• Reduces the chance of having to retrofit anchors because of missing or misplaced anchor bolts
• Made from 16-gauge steel for dependable structural performance
• Galvanized (G90) coating provides extra corrosion resistance for long-term durability
• Install with 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the MASAP and the standard MASA?

Both are versions of the MASA mudsill anchor. The standard MASA is designed for installation on standard concrete forms, while the MASAP is specifically designed for use with panelized forms. Both provide a time-saving alternative to traditional anchor bolts with strong load-carrying capacity.

What mudsill sizes is the MASAP compatible with?

The MASAP is designed as an alternative to 5/8-in. and 1/2-in. mudsill anchor bolts and is compatible with 2x, double-2x, and 3x mudsills.

Does the MASAP eliminate the need for plate washers in seismic design?

Yes. The MASAP eliminates the need for 3-in. square plate washers for seismic design applications, and in some cases its load capacities meet or exceed the parallel- and perpendicular-to-plate shear capacity of other cast-in-place anchors.

What fasteners are required to install the MASAP?

The MASAP should be installed with 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails. Its design allows it to attach easily to the inside of a panelized form without the labor costs involved in drilling plates and aligning holes.
