Description

The Simpson ABU66Z 6x6 Post Base - Zmax Finish 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 6x6 lumber but is also available in other sizes, including double 2x, 4x4, 4x6, and 6x6, for both nominal and rough-cut lumber.

Features:

  • Increased Load Capacity: Engineered to withstand higher uplift loads, making it ideal for areas prone to earthquakes or high winds.
  • Versatile Application: Intended for use with 6x6 lumber with a slotted base for adjustable installation.
  • Enhanced Durability: The 1-inch standoff design meets code requirements and helps prevent post rot.
  • Light Corrosion Resistance: Proprietary ZMAX coating applied to the product provides protection against corrosion in most environments.

Poorly engineered

The ABU66Z appears to be rugged and well manufactured, however it has one design flaw that forced me to give a 1 star rating. This product is made to be used with a 5/8 bolt per the manufacturer, but if you use a 5/8 wedge anchor from hilti like I did you will be forced to modify the post base to make it work. Simpson provides a cap that sits over the bolt and holds the post 1inch above the ground. The problem is the 5/8 wedge anchor needs at least 1.25 inches from concrete to top of anchor. When I installed the anchor I pushed it down as far as I could while still being able to put the nut on and the anchor still raised up above the 1 inch mark. I was forced to drill a hole in the simpson plate so the plate could go over the wedge anchor. Not sure why simpson chose a 1 inch gap, a 1.5 inch gap would work for most situations. Since purchasing I have seen other reviews of people who had the same experience. In my opinion this design was not well thought out
