The Strong-Tie ABA series of adjustable post bases provide a 1" standoff for the post and are slotted for adjustability. The ABA44Z adjustable post base is approved to be installed with the specified nails or with Strong-Drive SD connector screws . The Strong-Tie ABA44Z post base features a G185 ZMAX galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.

• The slot in the base enables flexible positioning around the anchor bolt, making precise post placement easier
• The 1" standoff helps prevent rot at the end of the post and meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash

• 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.

• Place the post in the ABA.
• Fasten using nails or SD Screws.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
