Foundation Anchors – FA3 series<br />
Concrete & Masonry<br />
For installation into concrete slabs. The FA3 features a split flange for nailing<br />
to both mudsill and stud for greater framing versatility.<br />
Materials: 16 gauge<br />
Finish: G90 galvanizing<br />
Options: FA3 is available in Triple Zinc.<br />
To order, add TZ to end of stock number,<br />
as in FA3-TZ.<br />
Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to<br />
various North American building code<br />
evaluators.<br />
Installation:<br />
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.<br />
• Use a minimum of two anchors per mudsill. An anchor should always be<br />
within 12˝ of the end of each mudsill section.<br />
• Do not rely on these anchors to secure concrete sections together between<br />
cold joints.<br />
• Insert into wet concrete (minimum strength of 2,000 psi). Place mudsill after<br />
concrete cures. Secure flanges to sill (and stud, if applicable), bending flanges<br />
as needed to achieve a tight fit. Fasten as directed in chart.<br />

1) Predrilled holes are not required.<br />
2) Factored resistances have been increased 15% for short-term loads such as wind and earthquake; no further increased is allowed.<br />
3) FA3 capacities are based on using a single-ply 2x sill plate.<br />
4) Minimum distance of 1.5 x I E ( 6 inches) is required to obtain the listed capacity.<br />
5) Minimum anchor spacing for full capacity is 2 x l E . For spacing less than that reduce capacity proportionally.<br />
6) Factored resistances are based on lumber with a specific gravity of 0.49 and a moisture content of 19% or less.<br />
7) Uplift deformation based on wood connection strength.<br />
8) Minimum concrete strength f'c = 2500 psi<br />
9) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ).<br />
