Finish
- Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAXcoating; see Corrosion Information.
Installation
- Attach the hangers to concrete or GFCMU walls using hex-head Titen Turbo screws. Titen Turbo screw anchors for GFCMU (1/4″ x 2 3/4″ – Model TNT25234H) and for concrete (1/4″ x 1 3/4″ – Model TNT25134H) are not provided with the hangers.
- Drill and prep the holes according to the Installation Instructions provided with the packaging for Titen Turbo screw anchors.
- Caution: Oversized-diameter holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with the base material and will reduce the anchor’s load capacity.
- Titen Turbo Installation Kits are available (Model TNTINSTALLKIT). A 3/16″ x 6″ SDS-plus drill bit is also available (Model MDPL01860SH).
- Installation on GFCMU – A minimum edge distance of 1 1/2″ and a minimum end distance of 3 7/8″ is required as shown in figure 1 for full table loads. For HU models installed with a 5/8″ minimum face fastener edge distance, allowable download is 0.63 of table loads with no reduction for uplift loads.
- Installation on concrete – A minimum end and edge distance of 3″ is required for full table loads. For edge distances of 1 3/4″ minimum and a minimum end distance of 3″, the allowable download is 0.90 of table loads with no reduction for uplift loads. For HU models installed with a 5/8″ minimum face fastener edge distance, allowable download is 0.63 of table loads with no reduction for uplift loads.
