Simpson Strong-Tie Introduces SABR Anchor Bolts

Simpson Strong-Tie has launched the SABR code-listed cast-in-place anchor bolt featuring a one-piece sweep design that maximizes its position for increased tension capacity.

The Simpson Strong-Tie SABR anchor bolt comes in five anchor diameters, each designed with a 6-inch threaded section that accommodates all holdowns when installed on a 2x or 3x sill plate.

The SABR anchor bolt works with all Simpson Strong-Tie holdowns, including the new HDUE line of holdowns, providing both strength and specification simplicity.

“Our recently introduced HDUE holdowns are engineered to accommodate the increasing design demands of today’s homes and the new SABR anchor bolt provides enhanced steel strength to meet those higher load capacities,” said Bryan Wert, director of product development for Simpson Strong-Tie connectors and lateral systems.

The SABR comes in five anchor diameters, each designed with a 6-inch threaded section that accommodates all holdowns when installed on a 2x or 3x sill plate.

According to Wert, it serves as a single anchor solution for all foundation types, coming in in one length for each diameter, simplifying specification, ordering and inventory.

“The new SABR anchors not only provide higher strength for today’s design demands, but they’re also versatile and efficient, offering a singular solution to meet the needs of all our holdowns,” Wert said. “Going on diameter alone, engineers and contractors can confidently choose the right anchor for any required condition.”

To simplify product specification, the SABR replaces both the SB and SSTB anchor bolts.

Wert said in most common applications, SABR has significantly higher loads than those products. Its one-piece, hot-forged design eliminates potential loss of components. The SABR anchor bolt is also available with hot-dip galvanization for additional corrosion resistance.
