Applications
Form Extension Applications
The SB-150 and SB-075 both have a safe working load of 500lbs at the base of the clip and 150lbs at the top of the clip. When used as a form extension you can add up to 10” of wood without the use of a spreader cleat or “tie” on top. Recommended spacing for form extension use is 1 clip every 24”.
Custom Filler Applications
The maximum filler width should not exceed 12” without the aid of additional walering. To comply with the 1000psf rating of the Steel-Ply® form system, the SB-075 should be spaced at 12” on center.
A minimum filler width of 3.5” can be achieved by staggering the SideBar™.
(The SB-150 may also be used to make job-built filler by chamfering the lumber to accommodate a wedge bolt.)
Installation
Installation of this one-piece clip is very simple. At an angle, slide the SideBar onto the panel frame and tilt up to lock into position. Then nail or screw the clip to lumber or plywood using any of the available holes. The SideBar is designed hold itself in place once wood is installed, a wedge bolt can be added to keep the clip upright while fastening wood but is not necessary.
