MASA mudsill anchors provide a time‑saving alternative to cast‑in‑place anchor bolts on 45mm post-installed bottom plates. Designed to install on the formwork before the pour, they simplify concrete finishing and can easily adapt to timber bottom plate interface.

Please check Corrosion Information if it is suitable for your application.

Material

1.6mm Carbon Steel 

Finish

ZMAX® Galvanised

Features & Benefits
  • Attaches easily to the concrete formwork
  • Stays out of the way until needed, making slab finishing easier
  • Eliminates the need to pre‑drill bottom plates for anchor bolts
  • Adapts to timber stud placement with two installation scenarios
Installation
  • Use all specified fasteners 
  • Concrete shall have a minimum f’c = 17MPa
  • Spalling—Full loads apply for spalls up to a maximum height of 32mm and a maximum depth of 22mm. Any exposed portion of the mudsill anchor must be protected against possible corrosion.
  • For prescriptive anchor spacing refer to table
  • Minimum MASA end distance is 100mm and minimum centre‑to‑centre spacing is 200mm for full load
  • For continuous load path, MASA should be installed on the same side of wall as uplift connectors

  1. Design Capacity is the lesser of (1) the Characteristic Capacity multiplied by the Australian Capacity Factor, or the Characteristic Capacity multiplied by the NZ Strength Reduction Factor (φ), and applicable the k modification factors following AS 1720.1 and NZS 3603 and (2) the Serviceability Capacity which is the load at 3.2mm joint slip, which includes fastener slip and mudsill anchor deformation. Design Capacity is the minimum of test data and structural joint calculation.
  2. For Australia, the Capacity Factor (φ) is 0.85 for nails and screws for structural joints in a Category 1 application. Reduce tabulated values where other Category applications govern. For NZ, the Strength Reduction Factor (φ) is 0.80 for nails in lateral loading.
  3. Duration of Load Factor (k1) is as shown. Reduce Duration of Load Factor where applicable. Capacities may not be increased.
  4. Timber species for joint design is seasoned Radiata Pine, which is Australia Joint Group JD4 per AS 1720.1 Table H2.4 and New Zealand Joint Group J5 per NZS 3603 Table 4.1.
  5. Minimum normal class concrete strength grade shall be 17 MPa.
  6. Design Capacity based on a minimum concrete wall width of 150mm.
  7. For simultaneous loads in more than one direction, the connector must be evaluated by an engineer.
