Installation

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Bending the strap horizontally 90° to facilitate wall placement may cause concrete behind the embedded strap to break away at the top edge (spalling). If the spall is 1" or less from the top edge of the concrete, no load reduction is necessary. If the spall is between 1" and 4", the allowable load is 0.90 of the published load table load.
• When installing on lumber less than 3-1/2" wide, wood splitting may occur. To reduce splitting, use 10d (0.148") x 1-1/2" nails or fill every other hole with 16d (0.162" x 3-1/2") common nails. Reduce allowable loads in accordance with code requirements.
• Straps are to be installed at the edge of concrete. Install prior to pour by nailing to form. Concrete level should reach embedment line; minimum embedment depths are listed in the load table.
• Allowable loads based on a minimum concrete compressive strength of 2,500 psi at 28 days, with one #4 horizontal rebar in the shear cone. Rebar should be a minimum length of 2x embedment depth plus 12".
