1. Allowable (ASD) strengths are based on a safety factor,  =3.00, determined in accordance with the Aluminum Design Manual, AA ADM1-2015.
2. Values are based on aluminum members with the following minimum tensile strengths: 6063-T5, F
u
= 22 ksi; 6063-T6, F
u
= 30 ksi; 6061-T6, F
u
= 42 ksi
3. The first number is the thickness of aluminum in contact with the screw head, the second number is the thickness of the aluminum not in contact with the screw head.
4. Allowable (ASD) Shear (Bearing) capacities for other member thicknesses may be determined by interpolating within the table.
5. For aluminum with the following tensile strengths: 6063-T5, F
u
= 27 ksi; 6063-T6, F
u
= 35 ksi; 6061-T6, F
u
= 45 ksi; multiply tabulated values by 1.22, 1.16, 1.07 respectively.
6. For ASD shear connections, the lower of the ASD Shear (Bearing) Capacity and the ASD Fastener Shear Strength must be used for design.

1. Design (LRFD) strengths are based on a safety factor,
f
=0.50, determined in accordance with the Aluminum Design Manual, AA ADM1-2015.
2. Values are based on aluminum members with the following minimum tensile strengths: 6063-T5, F
u
= 22 ksi; 6063-T6, F
u
= 30 ksi; 6061-T6, F
u
= 42 ksi
3. The first number is the thickness of aluminum in contact with the screw head, the second number is the thickness of the aluminum not in contact with the screw head.
4. Design (LRFD) Shear (Bearing) capacities for other member thicknesses may be determined by interpolating within the table.
5. For aluminum with the following tensile strengths: 6063-T5, F
u
= 27 ksi; 6063-T6, F
u
= 35 ksi; 6061-T6, F
u
= 45 ksi; multiply tabulated values by 1.22, 1.16, 1.07 respectively.
6. For LRFD shear connections, the lower of the LRFD Shear (Bearing) Capacity and the LRFD Fastener Shear Strength must be used for design.

1. Ultimate strengths are based on laboratory tests. Allowable (ASD) and Design (LRFD) capacities are based on a safety factor,  = 3.00, and a resistance factor,
f
= 0.50, respectively.
2. Ultimate load capacities must be reduced by a minimum safety factor to determine allowable loads (ASD) or by a load resistance factor to determine strength design capacities (LRFD).
3. Allowable (ASD) and Design (LRFD) capacities are based on 6063-T5 aluminum members with a minimum tensile strength of F
u
= 22 ksi.
4. Allowable (ASD) and Design (LRFD) load capacities for other member thicknesses can be determined by interpolating within the table.
5. For ASD tension connections, the lower of the ASD tension strength, ASD pull-out strength and ASD pull-over strength must be used for design.
6. For LRFD tension connections, the lower of the LRFD tension strength, LRFD pull-out strength and LRFD pull-over strength must be used for design.
7. For aluminum with a minimum tensile strength F
u
≥ 27 ksi, multiply tabulated values by 1.22.
