HDUE + SABR

HDUE and SABR Anchor Bolt

Simpson Strong-Tie has launched a new holdown (HDUE) and anchor bolt (SABR) combo that is versatile and efficient across numerous building foundation types. Together, the two reduce the number of screws typically used to secure shear walls and wall panels in wood construction, and allow for higher load capacities.
