Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolt is designed for maximum performance as an anchor bolt for holdowns and Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Wall® shearwalls. Extensive testing has been done to determine the design load capacity of the SSTB when installed in many common applications.
The Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts are code listed by ICC-ES under the 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2021 IBC® and IRC®
Key Features
-Identification on the bolt head showing embedment angle and model
-Offset angle reduces side bursting, and provides more concrete cover
-Rolled thread for higher tensile capacity
-Stamped embedment line aids installation
-Available in HDG for additional corrosion resistance
Material
-ASTM F-1554, Grade 36
Finish
-None. May be ordered HDG.
Installation
-SSTB is suitable for monolithic and two-pour concrete applications.
-Nuts and washers for holdown attachment are not supplied with the SSTB; install standard nuts, couplers and/or washers as required.
-On HDG SSTB anchors, chase the threads to use standard nuts or couplers or use overtapped products in accordance with ASTM A563, for example Simpson Strong-Tie NUT5/8-OST, NUT7/8-OST, CNW5/8-OST, CNW7/8-OST.
-Install SSTB before the concrete pour using AnchorMate® anchor bolt holders. Install the SSTB per the plan view detail.
-Minimum concrete compressive strength is 2,500 psi.
-When rebar is required it does not need to be tied to the SSTB.
-Order SSTBL models (example: SSTB16L) for longer thread length (16L = 5 1/2", 20L = 6 1/2", 24L = 6", 28L = 6 1/2"). SSTB and SSTBL load values are the same. SSTB34 and SSTB36 feature 4 1/2" and 6 1/2" of thread respectively and are not available in "L" versions.
