Simpson Strong-Tie MASAPZ - MASA 16-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Mudsill Anchor for Panelized Forms
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.
