For installation into concrete slabs. The FA3 features a split ange
for nailing to both mudsill and stud for greater framing versatility.
Materials: 16 gauge
Finish: G90 galvanizing
Options: See chart for Corrosion Finish Options
Codes: See page 11 for Code Reference Key Chart
Installation:
• Use all specied fasteners. See Product Notes, page 17.
• Use a minimum of two anchors per mudsill. An anchor should
always be within 12" of the end of each mudsill section.
• Do not rely on these anchors to secure concrete sections
together between cold joints.
• Insert into wet concrete (minimum strength of 2,500 psi).
Place mudsill after concrete cures. Secure anges to sill
(and stud, if applicable), bending anges as needed to
achieve a tight t. Fasten as directed in chart.
• Do not use in red clay brick.
