1 The head diameter is the inner diameter of the hexagonal shaped head, and does not fully reflect the cross sectional area
of the anchor head.
2 HAC EDGE C and HAC S EDGE C are the matching corner channel and have the same anchor channel as the intermediate
HAC EDGE and HAC S EDGE. Although the shear confinement plate has different geometry, the anchor channel is the
same.
* Effective embedment depth not covered by ICC ESR-3520.
3 Nail hole diameter is 4 mm (0.16 in.)
HAC EDGE Lite, HAC EDGE, and HAC S EDGE utilize HAC-
50 with rounded head anchors. HAC EDGE Lite is also offered
in HAC-40. These are the same anchor channel covered by
ICC ESR-3520. The HAC-50 with reduced embedment depth
(h
ef
< 4.17” (106 mm)) is not covered by ESR-3520. Additional
components are added to improve the concrete capacity in
perpendicular shear and to provide superior steel performance
in perpendicular shear.
Table 2.2.7.1 provides geometric parameters for the anchor
channels that compose the HAC EDGE product line. Tables
2.2.7.2 and 2.2.7.3 provide geometric information about EDGE
Lite and EDGE plate.

attaches the EDGE Lite or EDGE plate to HAC.

elevation view.
HAC EDGE C has rebars that are located one rebar diameter below the
bottom base of the anchor channel profile to avoid clashing with the rebars
of the opposite corner channel (HAC EDGE). The plate is taller and thicker.
