A purposely designed structural connection for hollowcore and dycore slabs. Proudly engineered in New Zealand in response to the observations and subsequent research conducted following the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake.
APPLICATIONS
The PYTHON HC facilitates the installation of a range of hollowcore retrofit techniques, including:
Structural steel connections
Supplementary shear reinforcing (Learn more)
Restraint of services
Steel strong backs
Diaphragm strengthening
FEATURES
Thread only where it’s needed to support easy installation through hollowcore voids and prevent premature failure in the underside of hollowcore slabs
Built-in washers sized to resist “pull-through” bearing failure
Short pitch concrete thread for increased capacity in shallow embedment applications
Technical
Nominal shank diameter of Ø10mm with 240mm and 350mm standard lengths.
Galvanised Zinc coating
