Info on Wood Attachment & Concrete Anchors?

5/29/2019

From my uneducated perspective both concrete anchors and wood attachments that most people use in the field are not the prescriptive methods outlined in NFPA 13, but instead listed products that are easier to install.

In the interest of learning more about what's actually preferred by contractors, are there any good articles or book content anywhere that could help bring me up to speed on these various hanging attachments? Any help is appreciated.

Call the customer service phone numbers for Hilti, Redhead, and Sammy, and ask them to send you their product catalogs. In them you will find their listings, approvals, pull-out ratings, etc.

Where you can't find products listed or approved for use in wood or concrete, refer to NFPA 13 (2016) 9.3.5.12.

Most people don't use unlisted products because material is submitted for approval to the engineer of record prior to purchasing.
