Kwik Bolt TZ Expansion Anchors.

From the Anchor Technical data sheets, which loads can it be used for Sway Brace calculations for the Fastener Information Maximum Load? And are these loads acceptable per NPFA 13, 2016, 9.3.5.12.8 requirements?

Maria,

For Sway Brace applications, the tension and shear information will be used by the deisgn engineer to evaluate the capacity of an anchor system, depending on the specific project parameters. Looking into NFPA 13, 2016, Section 9.3.5.12.8, it appears one of the main criteria is that the anchor is evaluated under ACI 355.2 and ICC-ES AC193, which the KWIK Bolt TZ does meet (see ICC-ES ESR-1917 Section 6.0). 

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.

Regards, 

Bryan
