Frequently Asked Questions
- What size lumber is the ABA66RZ designed to fit?
- The ABA66RZ is designed exclusively for use with rough cut 6x6 lumber. It is part of the "R" series of post bases, which are intended specifically for rough cut lumber rather than standard dimensional lumber.
- What fasteners are required to install the ABA66RZ?
- The ABA66RZ can be installed with 16d common nails or #10 x 1-1/2 Strong-Drive SD connector screws to attach the base to the post. Anchoring to concrete requires one 5/8 in. concrete anchor. When using nails, use (8) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails as specified.
- Why does the ABA66RZ include a 1-inch standoff?
- The built-in 1-in. standoff elevates the bottom of the post off the concrete surface, helping to prevent moisture accumulation and rot at the post end. This standoff design also meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or in areas exposed to weather or water splash.
- What makes the ZMAX coating suitable for exterior and treated-wood applications?
- ZMAX galvanization provides a thicker zinc coating than standard galvanization, offering enhanced corrosion resistance. This makes the ABA66RZ well-suited for exterior installations and applications involving pressure-treated lumber, where exposure to moisture and corrosive preservatives is a concern.
