What is the field fix if hold-down or shear bolts are too high or too low?
If the bolts are too high, they can be cut down to the appropriate height or washers can be stacked below the nut. If the bolts are too low, it is possible to gain 1-1/2″ by removing the wood bottom plate and installing the product directly on the slab or curb. When eliminating the 1-1/2″ bottom plate, install a 1-1/2″ filler on top of the Panel or Frame and make the top connection with 1/4 x 4-1/2″ screws.
