Anchor Downs

ANCHOR DOWNS

DESIGN FEATURES: offer the builder a lighter anchor down device with greater load capacity at a more affordable price.. applications include:

AD/AD8 Series - no standard washer requirement with anchorage bolts. Washer location is indicated on item drawings. In the event of inspector require washers, use the table below

ADA Series - no more inspection problems, as the ADA series has a load transfer plate tack-welded to the base

Uses include anchoring vertical wood members to foundation to resist uplifts due to overturning

Installation can be made horizontally for seismic ties

Fourteen configurations meet a variety of size and load specifications, with the location of the anchor down on the stud (D) measured at 7x's the diameter of the bolt above the plate or the self-jigging. Minimum required distance is automatically maintained.

MATERIAL: 3/16", 1/4" and 3/8" steel, depending on size and load requirements

LOAD: have been increased by 33-1/3% for seismic applications

SPECIAL: features of the ADA/ADB include:

ADB series requires no load transfer plate due to increased thickness of body part

Single piece design results in higher capacity

Load transfer plate eliminates the need for seat washer

Stud or post bolts are factory lined-up by welding (where the straps overlap). This reduces labor costs and damage to the machine bolt threads; more importantly, the weld acts to unite the parts as a single unit

Self-jigging design allows for flush surface installations to insure code-required 7 bolt diameter spacing from the end of the member

There are fewer inspection problems

Anchor down may be used to transfer tension loads between floors, to the purlins to masonry or concrete, to the wood wall sections to vertical concrete or masonry or used for overturn requirements and other applications to transfer tension loads

SCREW TYPE ANCHOR DOWNS

DESIGN FEATURES: heavy gage load transfer plate reduces anchor down deflection ..  improved connection using screw instead of bolts .. special screws have been tested and are included with ADST .. painted for corrosion resistance .. designed to easily fit on a 4x post .. flat base makes for easier installation .. ideal for retrofit applications.

MATERIALS: ADST2, ADST5 - 10 ga. and 1/4" steel, ADST6, ADST8 - 7 ga. and 1/4" steel
