For minimum edge distance and spacing distance, please refer to the ICC-ES Evaluation Report: ESR-1671 or Miami-Dade #07-0315.03 report for this product. Lightweight and medium-weight Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) were defined by ASTM C90
Indicated tension and shear values were obtained in tests conducted at CEL Consulting. Designated holding power depends on the quality of the masonry material, depth of embedment and proper hole size. These figures are offered only as a guide and are not guaranteed in any way by Illinois Tool Works, Inc. The figures indicate average ultimate tension and shear failure values. A safety factor of 4:1 or 25% of ultimate value is generally accepted as a safe working load. However reference should always be made to applicable codes for the specific safe working ratio. All values are based on close tolerance holes drilled with Buildex Tapcon® carbide drill bits. Performance of the Tapcon anchor may vary in extremely hard concrete aggregates. Consult you Buildex Representative for further information.
As in the case with all applications, Buildex can only suggest typical fasteners for typical applications and that the connection design is the sole responsibility of the Building Design Engineer, Architect or otherwise responsible person charged with the design connection. For further product information, please contact the nearest Authorized Buildex Distributor or the Buildex Technical Service Department at 1-800-323-0720.
