Engineering data disclaimer. Tension and shear values shown are catalog reference values per ACI 318 design methodology (Simpson C-A-2023). They do NOT include code-required reduction factors (φ) or load combinations. For design loads, consult the current ICC-ES ESR-3037 evaluation report and apply project-specific load combinations. Eugene Fastener provides this data as reference; not for use as design loads without independent verification.
Installation Summary
- Drill a 3/8" hole at least 2" deep using a carbide-tipped SDS or hammer drill bit.
- Clean the hole with compressed air or a blow-out pump.
- Insert the anchor through the fixture into the hole until the wedge clip reaches the bottom.
- Tighten the nut to 30 ft-lbf using a calibrated torque wrench.
- Verify the fixture is firmly seated against the concrete with no gap.
