Product Description
The Simpson LBPS 1/2 3 in. x 3 in. Slotted Bearing Plate is engineered to provide a greater bearing surface than standard cut washers, helping to strengthen and distribute load at critical structural connections. Designed for use on foundation anchor bolts in place of cut washers, this slotted anchor bolt plate meets the latest code requirements for 2x4 and 2x6 wall construction - making it a reliable choice for residential framing and foundation tie-down applications where precision and performance matter.
Key Features
- Slotted hole design - allows adjustability to account for bolts that are not centered in the sill plate, reducing installation headaches and saving time on the job site
- Code-compliant flexibility for 2x4 and 2x6 walls - meets the latest structural requirements, so builders can use a single plate across common wall configurations with confidence
- 3 in. x 3 in. bearing surface - delivers significantly more load distribution area than a standard cut washer, strengthening the connection at critical anchor points
- Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the plate hold up in moisture-prone environments over the long term
- Sized for 1/2 in. bolt diameter - mates directly with standard foundation anchor bolts, ensuring a secure and properly fitted connection without modification
Why This Product
- Built-in adjustability where you need it most - the slotted hole accommodates real-world bolt placement variation in sill plates, so installers spend less time struggling with misaligned anchor bolts and more time moving forward
- Greater load distribution than cut washers - the wider 3 in. x 3 in. plate spreads force across a larger bearing surface at foundation connections, supporting stronger, more reliable structural tie-downs
- Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized coating guards against rust and moisture degradation, making this bearing plate a durable long-term solution at the foundation level
- Trusted Simpson engineering, made in the United States - backed by a brand with a strong reputation in structural connectors and manufactured to meet current building code standards for residential wall construction
