FA Foundation Anchor
FA4 foundation anchors can be installed as a replacement for 5/8"
or 1/2" diameter anchor bolts while achieving the same load capacity.
Materials: 16 gauge
Finish: G90 galvanizing
Options: See chart for Corrosion Finish Options
Codes: See chart for code references
Installation:
• The FA4 can be mounted to the form board before placing the concrete or
inserted into the wet concrete after it is poured. See Detail A installation.
• Place the mudsill in position after the concrete cures. Secure the FA4 to the mudsill
(and stud, if applicable) by bending the anges as needed for a tight t and nailing
into place with the size and quantity of fasteners specied in the chart.
• For installation in severe corrosion environments, see Corrosion Information on pages 11-16.

1) Allowable loads have been increased 60% for wind and seismic loads; no further increase shall be permitted.
2) Allowable loads are based on a minimum stemwall thickness of 6", minimum distance from the end of the concrete
wall of 4" and minimum anchor spacing of 8".
3) Minimum concrete strength f'c = 2,500 psi.
4) NAILS: 10d x 1-1/2 nails are 0.148" dia. x 1-1/2" long.

1) Place anchors not more than 1'-0" from end of each mudsill per code.
2) Spacing is based on parallel to mudsill load direction only.
3) Concrete shall have a minimum f'c = 2,500 psi.
4) Spacing applies to a maximum of 1 in 4 FA4 Foundation Anchors being installed to mudsill and stud.
5) Spacing requirements are based on lateral load capacities of anchor bolts published in the 2018 NDS.
