Installation
See General Notes.
For shearwall applications, position edge of plate washer within 1/2" of sheathed edge of sill plate.
The BP5/8SKT uses 1/4" x 1 1/2" Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to provide lateral resistance when 5/8"-diameter sill holes are overdrilled (screws are provided). The shear capacity of the connection and the sill/anchor bolt shall be determined by the designer for each installation.
No additional standard cut-washer required.
Tighten each anchor bolt with a nut and BP.
