Simpson Strong Tie MASBZ Mudsill Anchor 50 Pack

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE MASBZ is a mudsill anchor designed to fasten wood mudsills to concrete foundations. It features a Z-Max coating, a zinc-based treatment that resists corrosion and extends service life in demanding environments, including treated-lumber contact and high-moisture conditions. Sold in a package of 50 units, this anchor is a standard component in both residential framing and light commercial construction where code-compliant mudsill-to-foundation connections are required. Licensed contractors and framers install these anchors during foundation or slab work to meet holddown and shear connection requirements.

The MASBZ is used in wood-frame construction wherever a mudsill must be mechanically attached to a poured concrete or masonry foundation. Typical applications include new residential construction, room additions, and accessory dwelling units where local building codes specify minimum mudsill anchorage spacing and embedment. The Z-Max coating makes it suitable for use with ACQ, CA, and other preservative-treated lumber that would accelerate corrosion in standard galvanized hardware.

Key Features

• Mechanically fastens mudsills to concrete or masonry foundations
• Packaged 50 anchors per unit, reducing trips to the supply house on active job sites

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mudsill anchor for wood-frame construction requiring mudsill-to-concrete foundation connections. Consult local building codes and project drawings for approved anchorage spacing and fastener schedules.

Installation Notes

Mudsill anchors are typically installed by licensed framers or general contractors in coordination with concrete foundation work. Anchor placement, embedment depth, and fastener schedules must comply with applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC requirements for mudsill anchorage. Always consult the project engineer or inspector for required spacing and hardware specifications before installation. Do not substitute fastener types or quantities from those specified on the approved plans.
