Wet Post Anchors – WAS & WE series
WAS – A formed base providing a 1˝ stand-off with high
bearing capacity.

© Copyright 2013 USP Structural Connectors®
WE – A formed, one-piece design. Includes embossing for
additional lateral strength.
Materials: See chart
Finish: G90 galvanizing
Options: WAS44, WAS46, WAS66, WE44, WE46,
& WE66 are available in Triple Zinc. To
order, add TZ to stock number, as in
WAS44-TZ.
WAS44, WAS66, and WE44 are available
in Hot-dip galvanized. To order, add HDG
to stock number, as in WE44-HDG.
Codes: Load values are derived from data
submitted to various North American
building code evaluators.
Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes,
page 10.
• Insert into wet concrete after the pour. For the WE, embed
the anchor so that the base plate is flush with the surface
of the concrete. For the WAS, embed the anchor until the
concrete surface meets the bottom edge of the stand off
base legs. This will provide a 1˝ stand-off where required.
A 2˝ minimum edge distance is required to achieve
factored resistance.
• Not recommended for fence posts or other
unrestrained (not fixed or fastened at top) applications.
These anchors are not designed to resist overturning
(moment) loads.

1) Factored resistances have been increased 15% for short-term loads such as wind and earthquake; reduce for other load durations in accordance with the code.
2) H2 is mimimum embedment length of anchor into concrete.
3) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ).
4) Minimum concrete compressive strength shall be 2,000 psi at 28 days.
5) Factored resistances are based on the use of either nails or bolts; nail and bolt values cannot be combined.
