Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does the ABU46RZ have a 1-in. standoff?
- The built-in 1-in. standoff is designed to help prevent rot at the end of the wooden post by keeping it elevated above the concrete surface. This design also meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or in locations exposed to weather or water splash.
- What fasteners are used to install the ABU46RZ?
- This post base installs with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails or 1/2 in. machine bolts to attach to the post. The slotted anchor hole in the base accommodates an anchor bolt for securing it to concrete.
- What makes ZMAX galvanization different from standard galvanization?
- ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance compared to standard hot-dip galvanizing, making the ABU46RZ well suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood, where standard coatings may degrade more quickly.
- Is the ABU46RZ suitable for high-wind or seismic applications?
- Yes. The ABU46RZ is designed with increased uplift load capacity, making it appropriate for applications requiring resistance to earthquake or wind loading forces.
