TAKE YOUR ANCHOR CHANNELS TO A NEW EDGE. ANCHOR
CHANNEL SYSTEM FOR SUPERIOR CONCRETE EDGE PERFORMANCE
HAC EDGE
(Patent pending)
Provides up to 5.6X higher concrete breakout strength in shear than traditional anchor channels
HAC S EDGE (Patent pending) Corner Solutions
State-of-the-art design model for top of slab corners based on
principles of AC232. Design valid for HAC, HAC EDGE, and HAC
S EDGE
Rebar Edge Confinement Plate
(EDGE plate)
Superior concrete edge performance in
small edge distances and thin concrete
members.
Simplified Installation
Additional nail holes to easily
fix the anchor channel to the
formwork.
Safer and faster Installation
Product comes with the required edge
distance for more accurate and faster
installation.
Superior Steel
Performance
"S" bracket structurally
connected to HAC for increased
channel lip and anchor-channel
performance.
19 out of 20 potential failure modes are
calculated in accordance with ESR-3520
State-of-art design model based on ESR-3520
and principles of AC232 and ACI 318
THE SERRATED HAC-T — THE BEST ANCHOR CHANNEL SYSTEM FOR
SEISMIC AND 3D LOADS
HAC-T
Suitable for applications that require repositioning of the T-bolts and transferring of longitudinal forces.
PERFORMANCE
• High slip resistances at low installation torque.
• Rebar channels available on serrated.
RELIABILITY
• Optimal t-bolt/channel lip interlocking for consistent performance.
• Redundant system due to multiple teeth engagement between t-bolt
and channel lip’s serrations.
FEASIBILITY
• Innovative manufacturing process that brings serrations at minimal
extra cost.
• Price of HAC-T is similar to it’s equivalent HAC size with HBC-C-N.
SAFETY
• Higher installation safety via lower installation torque.
• Lighter torque wrench, less muscle fatigue.
SIMPLICITY
• Higher slip resistances without continuous inspection requirements.
• One channel bolt size suitable for both channel sizes HAC-T50 and
HAC-T70.
