Product Description
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.

Key Features
- Attaches easily to the concrete form for quick installation
- Lays flat on the form board so there is no anchor bolt to finish around
- None of the labor costs involved in drilling plates and aligning holes
- Flat design eliminates chances of modification in prefabricated walls
- Eliminates the need to notch studs because of intersection with anchor bolt placement
- Reduces the chance of having to retrofit anchors because of missing or misplaced anchor bolts
Material
- 16 gauge
Finish
- Galvanized or ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information
Installation
- Installation Guide
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
- Concrete shall have a minimum f'c = 2,500 psi. Use a concrete vibrator or other means to ensure full consolidation of concrete around the part.
- Spalling — full loads apply for spalls up to a maximum height of 1 1/4" and a maximum depth of 7/8". Any exposed portion of the mudsill anchor must be protected against possible corrosion.
- For prescriptive anchor spacing, refer to the table below.
- Testing shows that these mudsill anchors can be used in lieu of code-required anchor bolts and square washers in high seismic zones.
- Minimum end distance is 4" and minimum center-to-center spacing is 8" for full load. For reduced center-to-center spacing and/or end distance, see engineering letter MASA/MASAP Reduced Spacing (L-C-MASASPCNG).
- For a continuous load path, mudsill anchors should be installed on the same side of the wall as uplift connectors.
- For installation in severe corrosion environments, refer to Guidelines for Selecting Materials and Coating for additional considerations.
