- 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 on the face of the CMU wall at least 1 1/4 inch away from headjoints.
- 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 be increased 33 1/3% for short-term loading due to wind and seismic forces.
- Tension and shear loads for the Wedge-All® anchor may be combined using the parabolic interaction equation (n=5/3).
- Refer to allowable load-adjustment factors for edge distance.
