ET-HP™ (formerly ET) Anchoring Adhesive
Tension and Shear Loads for Threaded Rod Anchors
in Lightweight, Medium-Weight and Normal-Weight Hollow CMU
- Threaded rods must comply with ASTM F1554 Grade 36 minimum.
- Values for 6- and 8-inch wide concrete masonry units (CMU) with a minimum specified compressive strength of masonry, f'm, at 28 days is 1500 psi.
- Embedment depth is measured from the outside face of the concrete masonry unit for installations through a face shell.
- Allowable loads may not be increased for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces.
- Refer to in-service temperature sensitivity chart for allowable load adjustment for temperature.
- The tabulated allowable loads are based on a safety factor of 5.0 for installations under the IBC and IRC.
- Anchors must be spaced a minimum distance of four times the anchor embedment.
- Set drill to rotation-only mode when drilling into hollow CMU.
