SPECIAL NOTES <br /> • <br /> Engineering Note • <br /> In 1996,the anchors listed by UL were tested in plate steel that measured.188"and.118".Subsequent testing was done for z-purlin applications in May 1997 using(.037")or 20 <br /> gauge steel.Most recently in 2008,testing with the new Sammy X-Press®was completed using(.030")or 22 gauge steel metal deck. <br /> Sammys®Nut Drivers <br /> Special nut drivers were designed to be used with Sammys.When the appropriate nut drivers are used for installation,the driver spins freely on the screw after installation is <br /> complete and eliminates the expected wrist snap,reduces over-torque,and prevents screw failure. <br /> Steel Screws <br /> Due to variations in hardness of certain metals,it should be noted that our self-drilling screws for steel will experience different drill speeds.500-1500 RPM drill speed should be <br /> used. <br /> Metric Products <br /> Metric versions of the Sammy anchors are available at www.itwbuildex.com <br /> Sammys for Seismic <br /> Please visit www.itwbuildex.com for our current Seismic product offerring. <br /> Vibratory Environments <br /> For attaching or anchoring in high vibratory environments,special care should be taken not just for building attachments but also for the hangers or assemblies being supported. <br /> Consult local code authorities for accepted anchoring devices. <br /> Composite Joist/Truss <br /> Truss manufacturers vary installation recommendations for composite joist.UL testing was completed to validate that Sammys and Sidewinders SWG 20 and SWG 25-380 can <br /> be installed into the top cord of a truss.Sammy GST 20 can be installed into the center of the lower cord of a composite joist.Penetration of the upright center web is permitted by <br /> some joist manufacturers.Consult truss manufacturer for recommended installation point. <br /> Pre-drilling may be required by joist manufacturers.If so,pre-drill pilot hole 1/8"smaller than root diameter of fastener. <br /> Consult the table below: Model Root Diameter Hole Size <br /> GST 20 .182" 1/8" <br /> GST 25-380 .280" 7132" <br /> SWG 20 .182" 1/8" <br /> SWG 25-380 .280" 7/32" <br /> To increase efficiency of the installation process,sleeve tools,bit receivers,and wood bits are available for pre-drilling. <br /> NFPA/NEC Standards <br /> All UL and FM testing complies with NFPA 13 and NEC standards.Check with your local(AHJ)Authority Having Jurisdiction to confirm application and usage. <br /> UL Listings/FM Approvals <br /> UL and FM reports are available at www.itwbuildex.com <br /> �uLD 5 O • <br /> 111B RAKER <br /> ALSO LISTED AS CONDUIT AN O CABLE HARD WARE <br /> ALSO USMB AS ANCHOR FOR LUMINAIRE <br /> B., <br /> Technical Drawings <br /> Technical drawings are available and can be downloaded at www.itwbuildex.com in the following formats:.dwg,.dxf,and.igs. <br /> Assembled in the U.S.A.
