INSTALLATION
When installing the beam anchor onto structural steel or I
-
Beams, Frontline
requires that I
-
Beam has a minimum flange width of 3.5” and maximum of 12” or
18” depending on the beam anchor being used and an overall thickness of ½” – 2”.
The substrate also must withstand the required 5,000 lbs minimum breaking
strength and approved before use by a qualified person. Thereafter, then follow
the next steps:
1. Make sure that the I-beam is clear of obstructions and that the I-beam is fully
installed and part of the structure.
2. Ideally the beam anchor would be preferred to be used in overhead
applications, if foot level tie-off is required other connecting devices need to be
suitable for the application.
3. Only use the beam anchor on horizontal I
-
Beam applications, not vertical
applications.
4. Once the desired I-beam anchoring location is determined, then loosen both
the outer and inner retainer nuts adjacent to opening the beam anchor, creating
an opening large enough to allow the beam flange to fit between the beam
clamps as shown on figure 5.
