| Substrate | Fastener | Each rod | Assembly | Governed by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4000psi NWC | 275 lbs | 90 lbs | 100 lbs | Support |
| 3000psi LWC with Metal Deck | 115 lbs | 90 lbs | 100 lbs | Support |
Seismic: per ASCE 7, power actuated fasteners are limited to 90 lbs of tension in Seismic Design Categories C (Ip = 1.5), D, E and F. The capacity published here is already at or below that limit, so it is unchanged on a seismic project.
Capacity by width
Published load by width
| Width | 4 in. | 6 in. | 8 in. | 10 in. | 12 in. | 14 in. | 16 in. | 18 in. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uniform load | 100 lbs | 100 lbs | 90 lbs* | 70 lbs* | 60 lbs* | 50 lbs* | 45 lbs* | 40 lbs* |
Uniform load over the 0.250 in. rod crossbar. * = crossbar bending governs (else the rated load). A single centered point load is limited to half the tabulated value; the configured assembly is further limited by the selected fastener per Section 01. Basis: reference document S.ROD (furnished upon request).
