Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of the 1-inch standoff on the ABU46SS?
- The built-in 1-in. standoff design helps prevent rot at the end of the post by keeping it elevated above the concrete surface. It also meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or in locations exposed to weather or water splash.
- Why does the ABU46SS have a slotted anchor hole?
- The slot in the base enables flexibility around the anchor bolt, making precise post placement easier during installation. This adjustability is especially useful when working around existing anchor bolt positions in concrete.
- What fasteners are required to install the ABU46SS?
- The ABU46SS should be installed with stainless-steel 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails or 1/2 in. diameter stainless-steel machine bolts. Using stainless-steel fasteners is important to maintain the corrosion resistance of the connection.
- Is the ABU46SS suitable for use in high-corrosion environments?
- Yes. The ABU46SS is made from stainless steel and is rated for high and severe corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for coastal, marine, and other demanding environments where standard galvanized connectors may not provide adequate protection.
