- The tabulated allowable loads are based on a safety factor of 5.0 for installations under the IBC and IRC.
- Listed loads may be applied to installations through a face shell with the following placement guidelines:
- a. Minimum 3" from vertical mortal joint.
- b. Minimum 1" from vertical cell centerline.
- Values for 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.
- Drill bit diameter used in base material corresponds to nominal anchor diameter.
- Allowable loads may not be increased for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces.
