HDUE13-SDS3.5

• Features

  • Predeflected seat reduces deflection under load
  • Angled fastening engages the screws in tension for higher load capacity, reducing the number of screws required
  • Angled fastening tabs help drive the fastener at a 45° angle, and offset holes on the second back plate block the fastener from being driven straight
  • Overlapping back plate increases fastener strength and shear values, helping prevent post splitting
  • Optimized screw patterns reduce splitting at the end of the post and maximize individual fastener capacity
  • Extruded seat adds a greater cross-sectional steel section for added strength
  • Teardrop holes allow higher and more even distribution of load
  • Height: 23-1/16 in.
  • Made from 12-gauge steel; galvanized (G90) for corrosion resistance
