Product Description
Simpson LBPS 5/8 Slotted Bearing Plate is a 3 in. x 3 in. steel plate engineered to provide a greater bearing surface than standard cut washers at critical foundation anchor bolt connections. Designed for use with 5/8 in. diameter bolts, this slotted bearing plate helps strengthen and distribute the load at sill plate connections, making it a dependable upgrade over cut washers in residential and light commercial framing applications where code compliance and installation precision matter.
Key Features
- Slotted hole design - allows on-site adjustability to account for anchor bolts that are not centered in the sill plate, saving time and reducing the need for repositioning during installation
- Meets latest code requirements for 2x4 and 2x6 walls - offers increased flexibility while keeping your project compliant, so inspections go smoothly without rework
- 3 in. x 3 in. bearing surface - delivers significantly more load distribution than a standard cut washer, reducing stress concentration at foundation anchor bolt connections
- 9/64 in. thickness - provides structural integrity without adding unnecessary bulk, keeping the connection tight and secure within the sill plate assembly
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance to hold up in demanding construction environments, helping extend the life of the connection
Why This Product
- A smarter alternative to cut washers - the larger 3 in. x 3 in. plate footprint strengthens and distributes load at foundation anchor bolt connections more effectively than standard cut washers, making it a practical upgrade for any sill plate application
- Built-in adjustability for real-world conditions - the slotted hole accommodates anchor bolts that land off-center in the sill plate, reducing frustration and costly corrections on the job site
- Code-ready for common wall assemblies - engineered to meet current code requirements for both 2x4 and 2x6 wall construction, giving builders and inspectors confidence at critical structural connections
- Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized coating helps protect against rust and deterioration, making this bearing plate well-suited for foundation-level installations where moisture exposure is a concern
