The Simpson SSTB36HDG Hot-Dip Galvanized Anchor Bolt is engineered for maximum performance as a structural anchor bolt for holdowns and Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Wall shearwalls. Extensive testing has been conducted to determine the design load capacity of the SSTB across many common applications, and the bolt is code listed by ICC-ES under the 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021 IBC and IRC - giving structural professionals a thoroughly vetted, code-compliant solution for demanding concrete anchor applications. The hot-dip galvanized finish delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this anchor bolt a reliable choice for exterior environments and treated-wood construction.

Key Features

• Bolt head identification showing embedment angle and model - eliminates guesswork on the job site, helping installers confirm correct placement and orientation at a glance.
• Offset angle design - reduces side bursting forces and provides more concrete cover, protecting the surrounding concrete and improving overall installation integrity.
• Rolled thread construction - delivers higher tensile capacity compared to cut threads, maximizing the bolt's ability to resist the uplift and shear forces common in holdown and shearwall applications.
• Stamped embedment line - provides a clear visual reference during concrete placement, helping crews achieve accurate embedment depth without additional measuring.
• Suitable for monolithic and two-pour concrete applications - gives contractors flexibility to use a single bolt model across different foundation and concrete wall construction methods.
• Hot-dip galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance beyond standard finishes, making the bolt well suited for exterior installations and applications involving treated wood where moisture and chemical exposure are a concern.
• ASTM F-1554, Grade 36 steel - ensures the bolt meets recognized material standards, supporting the high tensile load requirements of holdown and shearwall systems.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for holdowns and Strong-Wall shearwalls - unlike general-purpose anchor bolts, the SSTB is designed and extensively tested specifically for holdown and Strong-Wall shearwall applications, so buyers get a load-rated solution backed by real test data rather than a generic alternative.
• ICC-ES code listing across four IBC and IRC code cycles - acceptance under the 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021 IBC and IRC means inspectors and engineers can readily verify compliance, reducing approval friction on permitted projects.
• Hot-dip galvanized finish for long-term durability - the HDG coating goes beyond basic corrosion protection, making this anchor bolt a dependable choice for exterior concrete foundations and structures where treated lumber is used, environments that can quickly degrade lesser finishes.
• Installation-friendly engineering details - the stamped embedment line, offset angle, and bolt head markings work together to reduce installation errors, saving time and helping crews get the anchor set right the first time.
