Note: Indicated pull-out and shear failure values were obtained in tests witnessed by Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory personnel. 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 pull-out and shear failure values. A safety factor of 4:1 or 25% of ultimate pull-out 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 SDS Tapcon drill bits. Performance of the Tapcon anchor may vary in extremely hard concrete aggregates. Consult your Buildex representative for further information.
As in the case with all applications, Buildex can only suggest typical fasteners for typical application and that the connection design is the sole responsibility of the Building Design Engineer, Architect or otherwise responsible person charged with the design of the connection.
