Cold-Formed Steel-to-concrete and concrete block connectors that satisfy code requirements.

The PA's Dual Embedment Line allows installation in concrete or concrete block.

Material: See table.

Finish: Galvanized. PA’s available HDG or ZMAX®. See Corrosion Information.

Installation:

• Minimum concrete strength is 2000 psi.
• Use all specified fasteners; some models have extra fastener holes. See General Notes.
• Purlin Anchor must hook around rebar.

EDGE DISTANCE - Minimum concrete edge distance is 5". Minimum concrete block left-to-right edge distance is 20".

CONCRETE BLOCK WALLS - The masonry embedment line on PA allows for 4" of grout embedment in a standard 8" concrete masonry unit. The minimum wall specifications are:
One #4 vertical rebar, 32" long, 16" each side of anchor;
Two courses of grout filled block above and below the anchor (no cold joints allowed);
A horizontal bond beam with two #4 rebars, 40" long, a maximum of two courses above or below the anchor.

All cells grouted with 2000 psi 3/8" aggregate grout. Grout shall be vibrated per the Code. Rebar quantities, sizes and lengths are minimum requirements and may be increased per any additional wall design requirements.

Options: See S/LTT and S/HTT Tension Ties.

Codes: See Code Reports.

The UBC Section 1633.2.8 and IBC 1620.2.1 state:
. . . Diaphragm to wall anchorage using embedded straps shall have the straps attached to or hooked around the reinforcing steel, or otherwise terminated to effectively transfer forces to the reinforcing steel.
