Description:
The Simpson ABU44SS 4x4 Stainless Steel Adjustable Post Base is designed to securely attach wood posts to existing concrete, making it an essential component for your construction projects. This versatile post base is ideal for various applications and the additional uplift support makes this a good choice for jobs where high capacity uplift is necessary. Its built-in 1-inch standoff design helps prevent rot at the end of the post, ensuring durability and longevity.
One of the standout features of the ABU Adjustable Post Base is its slotted anchor hole, which allows for precise post placement, making installation more manageable. The post base can be attached using nails or Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws, providing flexibility and ease of use.
This product is intended for use with 4x4 lumber but is also available in other sizes, including double 2x, 4x4, 4x6, and 6x6, for both nominal and rough-cut lumber.

Installation
Installation
-Use all specified fasteners.
-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).
-Place the base, load transfer plate and nut on the anchor bolt. Loosely tighten the nut.
ABU
-Place the standoff base and then the post in the ABU.
-Fasten using nails or Strong-Drive SD structural connector screws or bolts (ABU88, ABU1010 – SDS optional).
