(C) When conventional anchors and straps are used;
the required number of ties must be installed as appropriate. The
strap(s) may be connected or wrapped around front or rear chassis
header members, around existing cross members or spring hangers. A
strap must be within 3 inches of where the cross member attaches to
the main I-beam. Alternatively, brackets to receive the strap(s) may
be attached to the bottom flange of the main I-beams. The location
of the connection points along the length of the I-beams are not critical,
as long as the number of longitudinal ties required for each end of
each home section are installed with their pull in opposite directions.
No two anchors shall be within 4 ft of each other. No two ties shall
be attached to the same structural member of the home, other than
a main longitudinal frame member or a front or rear chassis header
member.
(D) Anchors require stabilizer plates when the anchor
shaft is not in line with strap (plus or minus 10 degrees).
