Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie® ABA is designed to attach wooden posts to existing concrete. The built-in 1-in. standoff of this adjustable post base helps to prevent rot at the end of the post. The ABA has a slotted anchor hole in the base for adjustability and attaches to the post with nails or Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws. This versatile post base makes a cost-effective option for securing a post to the foundation.

Installation
- Installation Guide
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
- See our Anchoring, Fastening and Restoration Systems for Concrete and Masonry catalog for retrofit anchor options, such as Titen HD®, Stainless-Steel Titen HD or SET-3G™.
- Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
- Place the base, cut washer(s) and nut(s) on the anchor bolt(s). Make any necessary adjustments to post placement and tighten the nut securely on the anchor bolt.
- Base anchors must extend less than 1" from concrete to avoid interference with standoff.
- Place the post in the ABA and fasten using nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws.
