The steel strapping by Tie Down Engineering for the
manufactured housing industry has been tested to, and
conforms to, the HUD Code as referenced in Part 3280 of the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards and
Part 3285 of the installation standards; Final Rule.
3280.306(f), 3285.402(b2) Anchoring Equipment – Load
Resistance. Anchoring equipment shall be capable of resisting an
allowable working load equal to or exceeding 3,150 pounds and
shall be capable of withstanding a 50 percent overload (4,725
pounds total) without failure of either the anchoring
equipment or the attachment point on the manufactured home.
3280.306(g), 3285.402(b2) Anchoring Equipment –
Weatherization. Anchoring equipment exposed to weather-
ing shall have a resistance to weather deterioration at least
equivalent to that provided by a coating of zinc on steel of not
less than 0.30 ounces per square foot of surface coated, and in
accordance with the following:
(1) Slit or cut edges of zinc-coated steel strapping do not
need to be zinc coated.
(2) Type 1, Finish B, Grade 1 steel strapping, 1-1/4 inches
wide and 0.035 inches in thickness, certified by a
registered professional engineer or architect as
conforming with ASTM Standard Specification
D3953-91, Standard Specification for Strapping,
Flat Steel, and Seals.
The above specification of a minimum coating of 0.30 ounces
per square foot equates to a designation of “G30.” Tie Down
strapping exceeds this minimum requirement with a coating of
0.60 (G60) or 1.20 (G120) ounces as per above. Similarly, Tie
Down strapping exceeds, in testing, the minimum load require-
ments of 3,150 pounds design (working) load and 4,725
pounds (ultimate) overload.
* Available with G60 or G20 galvanized coatings.

Direction
10˚-15˚
1. Install ground anchor inside skirting line at a slight back
angle of 10˚ - 15˚.
2. While anchor head is still 5” to 6” above ground level: install
Quik Set stabilization plate around anchor shaft, referring to
the direction imprinted on the top of the plate.
3. Install ground anchor until Quik-Set plate is fully set.
Hammering may be required at the corners to insure plate
being fully driven.
4. Install strap(s) to anchor head and pretension according to
approved methods. Maximum anchor load in conjunction
with the “Quik-Set” device is 4725 lbs. (ultimate).

Galvanized Part: #59291G
Deep Set Anchor/Stabilizer Instructions
1. Confirm soil classification using standard torque probe at
36” below ground surface, make certain readings meet or
exceed 350 in lbs. (Class 2 and 3 soils) at the depths of
12” & 36”.
2. Clear loose vegetation where anchor will be installed.
Install anchor vertically to its’ full depth. Stabilizer plate at
the top of anchor must be fully embedded into soil.
3. Pull strap past anchor head and cut strap so that there is
12” to 15” of strap to wrap onto anchor bolt insuring 4 to 5
wraps minimum.
4. Insert strap into anchor bolt flush with opposite side of bolt.
Tighten bolt/strap until tight. Secure anchor bolt with nut.
