Mudsill anchors have always been a time-saving alternative to anchor bolts, and the MASA anchor provides even greater load-carrying capacity alternative for 5/8-in and 1/2-in mudsill anchor bolts on 2x, double-2x and 3x mudsills. It also eliminates the need for 3-in square plate washers for seismic design and, in some cases, has load capacities that meet or exceed the parallel and perpendicular to plate shear capacity of other cast-in-place anchors. Two versions of the MASA are available — the standard MASA for installation on standard forms and the MASAP for panelized forms.
Attaches easily to the concrete form for quick installation
Lays flat on the form board so there is no anchor bolt to finish around
No labor costs involved in drilling plates and aligning holes
Flat design eliminates chances of modification in prefabricated walls
Eliminates the need to notch studs due the anchor bolts being placed where it will interfere
Reduces the chance of having to retrofit anchors because of missing or misplaced anchor bolts
Made from 16-gauge steel
ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
Install with 0.148-in x 1-1/2-in nails
