Wood-to-concrete and wood-to-CMU connectors that satisfy code requirements. The PA’s dual embedment line allows installation in concrete or concrete block.

Material: MPAI—14 ga; PAI—12 ga.

Finish: Galvanized. Some products available HDG or ZMAX® coating .

Installation:

• Minimum concrete strength is 2000 psi.
• Use all specified fasteners; some models have extra fastener holes. See General Notes.
• PAI is designed for wood I-joists with LVL flanges 2 1/2" or wider. Nail spacing is 3" on center with 10dx1 1/2" nails, to minimize the chance of wood splitting. Maximum ledger width for full loads is 1 1/2".
• MPAI is designed for open web trusses and I-joists with solid sawn or LVL chords/flanges 3 1/2" or wider. For SPF chords/flanges reduce loads by 0.86.

Edge Distance: Minimum concrete edge distance is 5". Minimum concrete block left-to-right edge distance is 20".

Concrete Block Walls: The minimum wall specifications are:

A  One # 4 vertical rebar, 32" long, 16" each side of anchor;
B  Two courses of grout filled block above and below the anchor (no cold joints allowed);
C  A horizontal bond beam with two #4 rebars, 40" long, a maximum of two courses above or below the anchor.
D  Minimum masonry compressive strength, f'_m = 1500 psi.
