Meant for bridging the vertical gap between the top of a pier and the bottom of the main beam, Tie Down's ABS Pier Cap Plates can be utilized individually or in a double-stacked configuration. With a remarkable load capacity of 8,000 lbs. for single use and an impressive 16,000 lbs. for double application, t1 in. plates are designed to complement 2 in. counterparts.

Tie Down's ABS Shims/Wedges, measuring 4 in. x 6 in. x 1 in., are expertly crafted to deliver impeccable support and alignment in pier structures. These shims excel in filling gaps and securing piers between the pier plate and main beam, ensuring a solid and level foundation for your structure. Precision is paramount. Whether it's leveling your home or bridging gaps between the base of the main beam and the top of the pier cap, our ABS Shims/Wedges deliver the perfect solution. Installation is straightforward and hassle-free. Following the placement of an 8" x 8" x 16" concrete block atop pier footings, determine the gap size between the pier and beam. This measurement dictates the number and size of shims required (minimum of 2 inches), maintaining a clearance of less than 1 inch between pier top and beam bottom. Our shims can be double-stacked—2 inches on 2 inches or 1 inch on 2 inches—to adapt precisely to your needs. For double pier plate stacks, conveniently position two cap plates side by side. ABS Shims/Wedges must be used in pairs, ensuring a reliable and uniform support system for your pier structure. Fully approved for use by HUD 3285.312(3), attesting to their superior quality and adherence to industry standards, our ABS Shims/Wedges are thoughtfully crafted from recycled ABS materials, aligning with environmentally friendly construction choices.
