Simpson Strong-Tie FWANZ – ZMAX Galvanized Nail-On Foundation Wall Angle

FWA foundation anchors connect the foundation or basement walls to the floor system to resist out-of-plane forces imposed by soil pressure. The FWANZ fastens to the mudsill with nails, relying on other anchorage (by Designer) to anchor the sill plate to the foundation. Spacing of the FWA anchors is independent of the joist spacing, allowing for a multitude of options based on soil pressures.

Features:

• Compatible with solid sawn joists, I-joists and floor trusses
• Testing performed on most common rim materials and types
• Addresses design needs set forth in Section 1610.1 in the IBC and Section R404.1 in the IRC
• Eliminates the need of costly cantilevered foundation designs
• Made from 14-gauge steel
• ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
