BP 5/8PC Bearing Plate, 2-1/2 in L x 2-1/2 In W x 1/4 in Thick Dimensions, Steel, Black

Bearing plates give greater bearing surface than standard-cut washers and help distribute the load at these critical connections. The BP5/8-3 are 3 x 3 in bearing plates that meet the latest requirements of the IRC and IBC. These plate washers are available uncoated or with a hot dip galvanized (HDG) coating. The BPS and LBPS are bearing plates that offer increased flexibility while meeting the latest requirements of the code for 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 walls. The slotted hole allows for adjustability to account for bolts that are not in the middle of the sill plate. The BP5/8SKT uses 1/4 x 1-1/2 in Strong-Drive® SDS heavy-duty connector screws to provide lateral resistance when 5/8 in Dia sill holes are over drilled (screws are provided). The shear capacity of the connection and the sill/anchor bolt shall be determined by the Designer for each installation.
