Product Description
Simpson ABU66RZ ABU ZMAX Galvanized Adjustable Standoff Post Base for 6x6 Rough is a Simpson Strong-Tie engineered post base designed to attach wooden posts to existing concrete in high-capacity applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of the 1-inch standoff on the ABU66RZ post base?
- The built-in 1-in. standoff design helps prevent rot at the end of the post by keeping it elevated above the concrete surface. This standoff 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 Simpson ABU66RZ?
- The ABU66RZ can be installed with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails or 1/2 in. diameter machine bolts. It is also compatible with Strong-Drive SD Connector screws for attaching to the post.
- Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this post base?
- ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance, making the ABU66RZ well-suited for exterior applications and installations where the hardware will be in contact with treated wood, which can be corrosive to standard galvanized hardware.
- How does the slotted anchor hole benefit the installation process?
- The slot in the base enables flexibility around the anchor bolt, allowing for adjustment during installation and making precise post placement easier when attaching wooden posts to existing concrete.
