Abstract
Presented is an anchor bolt placement and protection device to facilitate setting of anchor bolts in concrete to facilitate placement of a mud sill. It is important that the anchor bolts that secure a mud sill to a foundation be properly spaced from the outside edge of the foundation. In one embodiment there is provided a device having a tubular projection open at one end to receive the threaded end of an anchor bolt. Projecting integrally from the bottom open end of the tubular projection are two lateral projections. One is adapted to place an anchor bolt when a 2×4 mud sill is used. The second projection positions the anchor bolt at the proper distance to receive a 2×6 mud sill. A second embodiment is provided with a single lateral projection extending perpendicularly from the open bottom end of the tubular projection. The top surface of the lateral extension is provided with cross-ribs and indicia that indicate the proper placement of either a 2×4 or 2×6 mud sill. A third embodiment provides a second laterally extending plate member in alignment with the first but on the opposite side of the tubular projection. Both extensions are provided with transverse ribs indicating the pro…
