AB/ABA/ABE/ABU Adjustable and Standoff Post Bases

The AB is an adjustable post base which offers moisture protection and finished hardware appearance.

These post bases feature 1" standoff height above concrete floors, code-required when supporting permanent structures that are exposed to the weather or water splash, or in basements. They reduce the potential for decay at post and column ends.

Material: AB – 12 gauge plates;16 gauge base cover; all others – see table.

Finish: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information.

Installation:

•Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. •Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports). •AB supplied as shown; position the post, secure the easy access nut over the supplied washer, place the standoff base, then bend up the fourth side and nail all sides. •AB, ABA, ABE and ABU - for pre-pour installed anchors. For epoxy or mechanical anchors, select and install according to anchor manufacturer's recommendations; anchor diameter shown in table. • Products require washers between the nut and the base. Washers are supplied with all products except ABA’s which require a standard cut washer. •Refer to Anchor Designer Software™ for ACI 318 for anchoring solutions.

Some products may be installed with the Strong-Drive® SD Structural Connector screw.
