1. Fasteners must not be driven until the concrete has reached the tabulated compressive strength.

2. Concrete thickness must be a minimum of 3 times the embedment depth of the fastener or 2 inches, whichever is greater.

3. The tabulated allowable load values are for the fastener only. Wood or steel members connected to the steel substrate must be investigated in accordance with accepted design criteria.

4. Based upon attachment of 16 gauge sheet metal or thinner, except as noted.

5. Based upon attachment of 25 gauge sheet metal or thinner.

6. Installing fasteners less than the minimum spacing and edge distance values in this table can result in a reduction in capacity. Such conditions are outside the scope of this published information.

7. For installations in 6,000 psi concrete, the tabulated tension and shear loads may be increased to 200 lbs and 220 lbs, respectively.

8. For installations in 6,000 psi concrete, the tabulated shear load may be increased to 125 lbs. The tabulated tension load must not be increased.

9. Allowable load capacities are calculated using minimum required safety factors in accordance with ICC-ES AC70; the applied safety factor for the tabulated allowable loads is 5.0.

10. Multiple fasteners are recommended for any attachment for increased reliability.

For SI: 1 lbf = 4.4 N, 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

1. Concrete masonry units must be normalweight units conforming to ASTM C90. The minimum allowable nominal size of the CMU must be 8 inches high by 8 inches wide by 16 inches

long, with a minimum,1-1/4-inch-thick face shell thickness.

2. Straight shank and step shank fasteners must only be placed into the unit face, including ends of masonry units. Only one straight shank or step shank fastener may be installed in each

cell, and it must be a minimum of 1-1/2 inches from the mortar joints and 1-1/2 inches from the CMU web.

3. For tapered shank fasteners, minimum fastener spacing is 2 inches center-to-center.

4. Shear loads for straight shank and step shank fasteners installed in the face shell (including ends of masonry units) may be applied in any direction. Shear loads for tapered shank fasteners

installed in the face shell (including ends of masonry units) or in the top of grouted cells may be applied in any direction.

5. Shear loads for tapered shank fasteners installed into the horizontal mortar joint may be applied in any direction along the CMU wall plane.

6. Installations in the face shell of the wall are applicable for fasteners in the ends of masonry units where the minimum edge and end distances are maintained.

7. Fasteners must not be installed into vertical mortar joints, including the intersection of the head joint and bed joint. Fasteners with a straight shank and step shank must be installed a

minimum of 3-3/4 inches from the vertical mortar joints. Fasteners with a tapered shank must be installed a minimum of 1-1/4 inches from the vertical mortar joints.

8. Allowable load capacities are calculated using minimum required safety factors in accordance with ICC-ES AC70; the applied safety factor for the tabulated allowable loads is 5.0.

9. Multiple fasteners are recommended for any attachment for increased reliability.
