TThe new SB5/8x24 anchor bolt offers a load-tested anchorage solution that exceeds the capacity of all of our holdowns that call for a 5/8" dia. anchor. Similarly, the SB1x30 covers holdowns utilizing a 1" diameter anchor that exceed the capacity of our SSTB bolts. The SB7/8x24 is designed to maximize performance with minimum embedment for holdowns utilizing a 7/8" dia. anchor.
SB anchor bolts are now code listed by ICC-ES under the 2006 and 2009 IBC and IRC to meet the requirements of ICC-ES acceptance criteria – AC 399. ICC-ES ESR-2611 is the industry's first code report issued for proprietary anchor bolts evaluated to the criteria of AC 399.
- Indentification on the bolt head showing embedment angle and model
- Sweep geometry to optimize position in form
- Rolled thread for higher tensile capacity
- Hex nuts and plate washer fixed in position
- Available in HDG for additional corrosion resistance
ASTM F-1554, Grade 36
None. May be ordered HDG; Contact Simpson Strong-Tie.
- SB is only for concrete applications poured monolithically.
- Top nuts and washers for holdown attachment are not supplied with the SB; install standard nuts, couplers and/or washers as required.
- On HDG SB 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 and NUT1-OST.
- Install SB before the concrete pour using AnchorMates®. Install the SB per the plan view detail.
- Minimum concrete compressive strength is 2500 psi.
- When rebar is required it does not need to be tied to the SB.

Notes to the Designer:
- Rebar is required at top of stemwall foundations but is not required for Slab-on-Grade Edge and Garage Curb, or Stemwall Garage Front installations.
- Minimum end distances for SB bolts are as shown in graphics.
- Multiply the tabulated ASD wind or seismic loads by 1.6 or 1.4, respectively, to obtain LRFD capacities.
- Per Section 1613 of the IBC, detached one- and two-story dwellings in SDC C may use "Wind and SDC A&B" allowable loads.
- See ESR-2611 for additional information.
- Midwall loads apply when anchor is 1.5 le or greater from the end. For bolts acting in tension simultaneously, the minimum bolt center-to-center spacing is 3 le.
