The Strong-Tie ABU series of adjustable post bases provide a 1" standoff for the post and are slotted for adjustability. The ABU46SS adjustable post base is approved to be installed with the specified nails, Strong-Drive SD connector screws or specified machine bolts. The Strong-Tie ABU46SS post base is made out of 316L stainless steel and offers maximum corrosion resistance in harsh exterior conditions.

• 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 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).

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