FA/FAP/HFA/FJA/FSA FOUNDATION ANCHORS
CONCRETE

This series is for retrofit or new construction. These products may be used together as a system or in individual applications, designed and tested for earthquake and high wind conditions.

FA and HFA Foundation Anchors eliminate vertical drilling by nailing into the top of the mudsill. They facilitate installation when vertical space is limited, and resist forces between the foundation and mudsill. The FAP Plate connects the mudsill to the foundation. Designed to provide lateral load resistance.

FJA Foundation Joist Anchor nails or bolts directly into floor joist, and provides a direct connection between the foundation and joist. It provides uplift and lateral resistance. FSA Foundation Stud Anchor nails or bolts to floor joist, or nails to stud. Plywood shear-wall may require notching with stud-to-foundation installation.

MATERIAL: FAP -- 7 gauge; all others -- 12 gauge

FINISH: Galvanized

INSTALLATION:

  • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
  • Select and install concrete anchor bolts in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
  • See Epoxy-Tie and RFB, pages 22 to 24, for tested, load-rated epoxies and retrofit bolts.

CODES: BOCA, ICBO, SBCCI NER-469; NER-499; City of LA RR 25158 and RR 25293.

  1. Allowable loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern.
  2. For redwood mudsills, reduce F1 on HFA to 1215 lbs, and 840 lbs on FAP.
  3. Use the RFB#4x6 with the Epoxy-Tie for the anchorage system.
  4. FAP uses a minimum SDS wood screw length of 2-1/2" plus the shim thickness.
  5. The shim must be fastened to the mudsill by means other than the FAP wood screw.
  6. See page 14 for SDS wood screw information.
  7. FAP may be installed with 1/4" lag bolts. Follow code requirements for predrilling.
                     
Add a shim between plate and sill when space is   between 3/16" and 1 1/2". When space exceeds 1 1/2" use the FA or HFA. The shim must be  fastened to the mudsill by means other than the FAP SDS wood screw
