Connection Solutions DESIGN BUILD SYSTEM Connection Solutions for Cold formed Steel Construction Complies with; AS/NZS 4600:2005 AISI S100:2007 AS/NZ 1397 ASTM A653

DESIGN & BUILD SYSTEM FRAMECAD Construction Connectors are designed for speed, suitability and performance and are designed to deliver the most advanced end-to-end steel frame building solution. The range includes connectors for steel truss, wall and joist assembly required for construction. FRAMECAD connectors are designed with 4 main objectives - Design, Speed, Suitability and Performance. DESIGN - Ease of design with correct information specified in FRAMECAD Software to deliver robust and reliable structures. SPEED - All our connectors have been selected to optimise the speed and efficiency of the FRAMECAD building system. Using FRAMECAD screws reduces labour costs by making it quicker and easier to fix screws consistently, helping business reach optimum production rates, both in the factory and on-site. SUITABILITY - With over Twenty Five years experience in CFS (Cold Formed Steel Construction) FRAMECAD has identified and developed a range of FRAMECAD Certified Connectors that work specifically alongside our FRAMECAD cold formed steel construction. It is essential to use the specified FRAMECAD Fasteners as they form a critical part of the connector s tested performance. PERFORMANCE - The design capacity of our connector range has been calculated in accordance with AS/NZ 4600:2005 and AISI S100:2007. FRAMECAD Fasteners have been tested according to the AS/NZS 4600:2005 and AISI S100:2007 in our laboratories to ensure they are compatible with our FRAMECAD Building Systems and meet relevant international recognised manufacturing standards. All our Connectors are manufactured to steel grade AS/NZS 1397 G350 and are produced by ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facilities and have been tested for shear and tensile strength. Additionally, FRAMECAD Connectors are coated in corrosion retardant that give high visibility for your quality assurance process, during manufacturing and on-site. FRAMECAD Connectors are made from top quality Z275 galvanised material then further protected with FRAMECAD Long Life Green protection coating for further corrosion protection. Beware of non-compliant Connectors. Brackets and connectors made from cheap or scrap metal often will not comply. The FRAMECAD Connector range are fully designed and manufactured to have both the correct strength and ductility to; 1. provide high strength connection of members 2. provide the appropriate flexibility for dynamic loads e.g. wind or earthquake. FRAMECAD materials are used to meet both these requirements and comply with the building code.

Manufactured to Steel Grade AS/NZ 1397 G350-0.95-1.15 BMT, otherwise specified. Site Friendly - easy and flexible to install on site. Versatile - as connectors can be used for several construction applications. FRAMECAD Certified and compliant with many building standards Page1

FRAMECAD Certified Connectors are based upon physical testing using FRAMECAD Fasteners and the following criteria: 1. No Substitution: The products specified in this guide must not be substituted with other products. 2. Design Capacity and Standard AS/NZS 4600:2005 and AISI S100:2007. 3. Constructions using FRAMECAD products must be used in accordance with the regulations of the Local or International Building Authorities. 4. Correct Installation: Installation of FRAMECAD products must be strictly in accordance with the instructions in this guide. 5. Current Guide Version Used: The current version of this guide, including any amendments or additions, must be used. We advised to check with FRAMECAD for updates at least every three months via the web site: FRAMECAD Product Certification FRAMECAD products are structurally adequate provided they are designed, installed and used completely in accordance with this guide and signed off by the locally registered engineer. This Certification applies only to: 1. Only Products in this guide. 2. Products used in the specified applications and not damaged after manufacture and supply. FRAMECAD Connector Installation: These notes are provided to ensure proper installation of FRAMECAD Certified Connectors. 1. FRAMECAD Certified Connectors are used in conjunction with FRAMECAD Certified Fasteners. 2. Do not drill additional fastener holes or modify FRAMECAD Certified connectors, otherwise specified. 3. Do not overload the joints or connectors - during construction or in service. 4. Use proper safety equipment and due care in installing connectors. 5. Any gaps in joints between the steel members must not exceed 1.5mm. 6. Do not over-tighten screws. 7. Use proper Fastener quantity as specified in this catalogue. 8. Do not weld connectors.

FRAMECAD Connectors FRAMECAD Fasteners have a Drill Point capable of drilling into medium to heavy gauge steel. For successful connection the screw must be of sufficient length to ensure at least 3 threads are protruding through the fastened material and the Drill Point length must be greater than the total thickness of metal being fastened into. FRAMECAD Connector Minimum 3 Threads Steel frame Where to Screw Fasteners Spacing, End and Edge Distance Requirement Min edge distance (a2) = 1.5df (approximately 8mm for 10g screws) Min Spacing (b1 or b2) = 3.0df (approximately 15mm for 10g screws) Where df = Nominal screw diameter (mm) a2 b2 a2 a1 b1 Note: The end distance is the distance to the edge of the steel measured in the direction of the applied force. To avoid tearing, the minimal end distance, a1, for our connector range is 8mm, otherwise specified.
