Typical Cast-in Channel Anchor Variations CFS high quality inserts are designed to provide flexible fixing points for concrete structures. Channels are ideal for use near the edges of concrete where drilling is not possible. They are ideal for use in post-tensioned structures. T -bolts can be placed in the channels easily and moved to the desired position. Subsequent removal of components is very simple. CFS-S stud anchor standard CFS-W welded wave anchor CFS channels can be supplied with either of the above anchor configurations. The load capacity is identical. Standard anchor centres on long lengths of channel are 250 mm. Other centres can be supplied on request. Special anchor types can be provided to suit specific site requirements. T-Bolts T head bolts or locking plates are simply inserted anywhere along the channel and turned through 90 to block into position. Filler All channels intended for casting in contain CFS quick to remove filler. CAST-IN CHANNELS Cold Rolled or Hot Rolled In most circumstances, cold rolled sections provide the appropriate solution. Where vibration is an issue or in safetycritical applications, hot rolled channels should be considered. If in doubt, seek advice. www.cfsfixings.com 9-4

These values are ultimate capacities and should be compared with the factored design loads. PEC Rail software is available on our website www.cfs-fixings.com that would be useful for complex cases, with tensile and shear forces together, with close edge distances, different slab thickness or different concrete strength.
