Concrete Masonry Unit Wall

Minimum strength must be 11 MPa.

Use at least four (one in each corner, in any available anchor slot) 10 mm concrete anchors of sufficient length for 50 mm embedment into the material.

Anchors shall not be installed within 305 mm of wall edges or 38 mm of masonry block edges.

Solid Concrete Wall

Minimum strength must be 18 MPa.

Use at least four (one in each corner, in any available anchor slot) 10 mm concrete anchors of sufficient length for at least 64 mm embedment into the wall.

Brick Wall

(Double and Single Layer of Brick Masonry)

Minimum strength must be 12 MPa.

Use at least four (one in each corner, in any available anchor slot) 6 mm masonry anchors of sufficient length for 79 mm embedment.

Struts must be minimum 12 gauge, and either 22 mm or 41 mm.

If mounting on wood structural members, attach each strut to at least two structural members, using at least one 6 mm wood screw with washer per structural member, of sufficient length for at least 64 mm embedment into the structural members.

If mounting on metal structural members, attach each strut to at least three structural members, using at least one #14 (6 mm) sheet metal screw with washer per structural member, of sufficient length to penetrate at least 3 threads beyond the structural members.

To attach the bracket to the struts, use at least four (one in each corner) 10 mm hex head screws with washers and strut nuts.

Channel strut shall have a maximum unsupported span of 610 mm and shall not be cantilevered.

Wood Structural Members 305 mm to 432 mm

If anchoring directly into wood structural members, use at least four (one in each corner) 6 mm wood screws with washers, of sufficient length for at least 64 mm embedment into the structural members.

Wood Structural Members 305 mm to 432 mm

If anchoring to blocking between wood structural members, use minimum 38 x 89 mm blocks, end-nailed into structural members with two 16d (89 x 4 mm) nails or toe-nailed into structural members with four 8d (64 x 3 mm) nails. Use at least four (one in each corner) 6 mm wood screws with washers, of sufficient length for at least 64 mm embedment into the blocking.

Metal Structural Members 305 mm to 432 mm

If anchoring directly to metal structural members, structural members must be minimum 18 gauge. Use at least four (one in each corner) #14 (6 mm) sheet metal screws with washers, of sufficient length to penetrate at least 3 threads beyond the structural member.

If backing is needed between the structural members, the backing must be minimum 18 gauge. Attach backing to metal structural members with 12 gauge 76 x 76 mm angle clip or Simpson SFC2.25 clips with two #10 sheet metal screws in each leg.
