 Figure above shows the different bolting required for the Yield-Link&reg;
 steel moment connection.

One possible bolting sequence is as follows:

 Step 1: Install the link-to-beam flange bolts. Please note
 that this is the only pretensioned bolt connection required in the Yield-Link
 moment connection.


 Step 2: Connect the spacers and BRP plates to the beam
 flanges with snug-tight bolts.


 Step 3: Connect the shear plate-to-beam flange with
 snug-tight or pretensioned bolts.


 Step 4: Connect the link flange-to-column flange with
 snug-tight or pretensioned bolts.
