Definitions
Safe Working Load — The maximum working load that should be applied to any forming product.
Ultimate Load — The load at which a product fails or will no longer support or carry a load.
Safety Factor — The theoretical reserve capability defined by dividing the ultimate load of the product by
its safe working load. This is expressed as a ratio, such as 2:1 or 2 to 1 (ultimate to safe
working load).
Concrete Form Pressure — The lateral pressure applied per square foot of form contact.
Slab Formwork Dead Load — The weight of fresh concrete and reinforcement bars plus the weight of the formwork.
Slab Formwork Live Load — Any additional loads imposed during the construction process, such as materials, workmen,
equipment, including lateral forces.
Slab Formwork Design Load — Dead load plus live load per square foot of contact.
Formwork Impact Load — Loads caused by dumping concrete or the starting/stopping of construction related equipment.
Safety Notes and Product Application

Dayton Superior ensures that all products meet or exceed appropriate safety requirements. However, the performance of a product
can be greatly affected by the manner in which it is used. It is imperative that the user properly installs and uses the products dis-
played in this publication.
Production runs are constantly tested to assure a high standard of quality. Safe working loads listed in this publication were deter-
mined from independent testing and results of the Company quality assurance/quality control program.
Safety factors may be dependent on the application of a particular product. Job site conditions can often affect the safety factor of
a product. Concentrated loads, such as, unsymmetrical loading, uplift, impact and lateral forces are examples of job site conditions
that may affect the safety factor. The user must adjust safety factors accordingly to accommodate these various conditions.
Dayton Superior publishes the minimum safe working loads and the associated safety factors of its products and strongly advises
that the minimum safety factors displayed in the table below not be compromised. When there are unusual job conditions such
as mentioned above, the minimum safety factors must be increased by the user. Refer to the provisions of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI A 10.9), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Act, Part 1910 and the American
Concrete Institute (ACI) Recommended Practice for Concrete Formwork (ACI 347-94) when considering product safety factors.
Minimum Safety Factors of Formwork Accessories
Accessory Safety Factor Type of Construction

Dayton Superior Technical Services

Dayton Superior maintains three strategically located technical departments that are well staffed with trained personnel to service
inquiries concerning Dayton Superior products and/or methods.

Usage Affecting a Product’s Safe Working Load

Forming accessories may be subjected to excessive wear, field modification/bending and straightening. Any product so
noted must be discarded. Do not try to straighten bent forming accessories; discard and replace them. Also discard any
reusable device that has experienced excessive loading, 70% or more, of ultimate load. Such items may have become brittle.
Every user must establish a control program that replaces reusable forming products after a predetermined time period or number
of uses, regardless of product appearance. All reusable forming accessories shown in this publication are subject to wear, misuse,
overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration and other factors which may affect the product’s safe working load.
Therefore, it is mandatory that the user inspect all reusable accessories to determine their condition. The frequency of inspection is
dependent on factors such as frequency of use, period of use, environment, etc., and is best determined by the user consistent with
good construction practices.
When in doubt about the proper use or installation of Dayton Superior forming accessories, contact Dayton Superior for clarifica-
tion. Failure to do so may result in exposure of workers to safety hazards, resulting in possible injury and/or death.
All safe working loads shown in this publication contain an approximate minimum safety factor. The safe working loads were
established with the following factors in mind:
1. All safe working loads are based on the accessory being in new or in “as new” condition. The safe working load is considered
to be the maximum load that should be applied to a product.
2. The safe working load of Dayton Superior Snap Ties and related products can only be developed when used in conjunction
with A16 Omni Wedges, A81 Jahn A Brackets or A82 Jahn C Brackets.
3. Care is taken to ensure that internal vibration has not caused snap tie wedges to loosen, bounce around or fall off.

4. It is important that the snap tie head and wedge be positioned properly.
The proper tie head position is at the midpoint, or higher, of the wedge slot. The tie head must not be positioned lower than
the midpoint of the wedge.

Care must be taken to ensure that form ties are properly aligned. Misalignment may result in form failure due to increased loads
placed on the form ties. Misalignment may also cause damage to the form tie during installation that may result in reduced load
capacities.

8. When using coil bolts, coil ties, coil hanger saddles, he-bolts, taper-ties, she-bolts and other coil thread items, maximum
spacing between the double wales should be 1/2" more than the nominal diameter of the bolting device being used.
When too much space is allowed between the wales, the wales may crush or the washers may bend. This causes the

9. Coil bolts, coil rod and other coil thread products must have proper coil penetration. A bolting device with proper coil penetra-
tion will extend past the coil a minimum of one diameter of the bolting device. For example, a properly penetrating 1/2" diam-
eter coil bolt will extend past the coil a minimum of 1/2". Incorrect penetration of threaded items may result in form failure.
Failure to obtain proper penetration will cause excessive wear on the first few threads of the bolt, but more importantly it

places the entire bolt load on a smaller portion of the coil welds. The increased loading can cause the coil welds to fail and
result in form failure.
10. Do not beat on the end of loop ties to force them into position. This may damage the tie and result in form failure.
11. Use only correct length form ties. Incorrect length ties, when mixed with correct ones, will cause a transfer of lateral pressure
to adjacent ties and may result in form failure.
12. Do not climb on form ties.
13. Do not use impact wrenches to tighten form-tying devices.
14. Do not over-vibrate the concrete. Excessive vibration will cause concrete at the bottom of the form to remain in a liquid state
longer than expected. This will result in higher than anticipated lateral form pressure and may result in a form failure. Depth
of vibration should be limited to within four (4) feet of the top of the fresh concrete.

15. Do not exceed the recommended rate of placement and do not continue to place concrete while the concrete in the bottom of
the form is still in a liquid state. A form failure may result.
16. Do not use forming accessories with underrated working
parts.
17. All forming accessories and related hardware must be of
proper length, diameter and capacity. If a greater safety
factor is necessary for any reason, the user must reduce the
safe working load accordingly.

Combined Shear and Tension Loads

Form accessories and inserts that are subjected to combined shear and tension loading should satisfy the following equation:
(ft /Ft)5/3 + (fv /Fv)5/3 ≤ 1.0 Where

ft = induced tension load,
Ft = insert tension safe working load or bolt tension safe working load, whichever is less,
fv = induced shear load,
Fv = insert shear safe working load or bolt shear safe working load, whichever is less.

Forming Accessories Selection
Dayton Superior Concrete Accessories manufactures and supplies a large variety of form tying devices for concrete formwork.
Form tying devices can generally be classified in two ways, by load carrying capacity and by method of use.
Load Carrying Capacity Classifications:

Light Forming — Light forming form ties have safe working load values of 3,750 pounds or less. Typical light
duty ties include Snap Ties, Loop Ties and Pencil Rod.
Medium/Heavy Forming — Medium/heavy form ties have safe working load values over 3,750 pounds. Typical
medium/heavy form ties include Coil Ties, She-Bolts, Taper Ties, etc.
Method of Use Classifications:

Through Ties — This type of tie extends through the wall thickness and through both sides of the formwork.
Dayton Superior manufactures four types of through ties to satisfy most forming application
requirements. Snap Ties, Loop Ties, Taper Ties and Pencil Rod are all quality through tie
systems.
Coil Ties — The Coil Tie System consists of two Coil Bolts, two Flat Washers, optional Tie Cones and a
Coil Tie. The optional Tie Cones act as an internal spreader and assures proper set-back of
the tie. Continuous Threaded Coil Rod can be used in place of the Coil Bolts in emergency
conditions or in applications requiring varying bolt lengths.
She-Bolts — A She-Bolt has external threads on the large end and internal threads on the tapered end.
The external threads provide adjustment for varying form thickness. The internal threads
provide attachment for the Inside Rod that ties the two She-Bolt sections together. Various
working parts and form anchorages, are available for use with the She-Bolt System.
Lumber and Form Tie Analysis

Assume a project contains 100,000 square feet of form contact area. 12" thick walls x 14'-0" high and that 10,000 square feet of
form will be constructed. Schedule will be six months with form reuse based on three uses per month.
Assume that the working parts are purchased. Experience has shown that Example A working parts have a life of 10 uses and
Example B working parts have a life of 50 uses. Form lumber in Example A has a salvage value of 25% while Example B has a
salvage value of 60%.
For this analysis the cost of nails, band iron, connecting bolts, lifting devices, etc., have been omitted. Both examples were calcu-

rial cost difference in building a heavy form compared to a light
duty form. Users must account for the significant labor cost difference of installing, removing and patching the additional form ties.
Note also that the placement rate for Example B is 4-1/2 times greater than Example A. The placing crew cost savings must be
considered to arrive at the total in-place cost per unit of measure.

Note: The above table is based on the following conditions:
• Concrete – Made with type 1 cement weighing 150 pcf. contains no admixtures, slump of 4" or less and normal internal vibration to a depth of 4 ft. or less. If conditions
vary, contact Dayton Superior for additional recommendations.
• Concrete Temperature – For practical purposes, 50°F. is used by many form designers as the temperature of fresh concrete during winter, with 70°F. being
used as the summer temperature. This “rule of thumb” appears to work satisfactory unless the concrete has been heated or cooled to a controlled tempera-
ture.
• Plywood Sheathing – 3/4" plyform class 1 or structural 1 used the strong direction. Experience has shown that 3/4" plywood is more economical in form usage than
other thickness even though initial cost may be slightly more. Deflection has been limited to ℓ/360 or 1/16" whichever is less and plyform is supported by four or more
studs.
• Studs – Fiber Stress in bending = varies psi, modulus of elasticity = 1,400,000 psi horizontal shear = 225 psi, deflection limited to ℓ/270 or 1/8" whichever is less with
studs continuous over four or more wales.
• Double Wales – Fiber Stress in bending = varies psi, modulus of elasticity = 1,400,000 psi horizontal shear = 225 psi, deflection limited to ℓ/270 or 1/8" whichever is
less with wales continuous over four or more ties.
• Short Term Loading Conditions – Allowable stresses, except for modulus of elasticity include a 25% increase for short term loading.
• Form Ties – Safe working loads are based on a factor of safety of approximately 2 to 1 (ultimate to SWL).

Vertical Formwork Design Loads Lateral Pressure of Concrete for

The selection of the proper sheathing, studs and/or wales for concrete formwork requires knowledge General Purpose Conditions
of maximum lateral pressure which will be exerted by the concrete. Dayton Superior is in agreement Depth of Fluid or Pounds Per Square
with the Lateral Pressure Design Formulas contained in the American Concrete Institute’s “Guide Plastic Concrete Foot in Feet
to Formwork for Concrete”, (ACI 347 latest revision). Designers of formwork for concrete walls or 4 600
columns find the following information useful: 5 750
• For general purpose conditions and unless the special conditions listed below are met, all 6 900
formwork should be designed for the lateral pressure of the newly placed concrete using 7 1,050

H = depth of fluid or plastic concrete in feet. (Normally height of wall or 18 2,700

Please note that the maximum and minimum values given for the formulas under the special
conditions do not apply to the above lateral pressure formula.
• Special Condition No. 1 — For concrete made with type 1 cement, weighing 150
lbs per cu ft, containing no pozzolans or admixtures, having a slump of 4" or less and
normal internal vibration to a depth of 4 ft. or less. Then the formwork may be designed
for a lateral pressure as follows:

Where P = lateral pressure, lbs per sq ft;
R = rate of placement, feet per hour, and
T = temperature of concrete in the form, degree fahrenheit. For practical
purposes, 50°F. is used by many form designers as the temperature of fresh concrete during the winter,
with 70°F. being used as the summer temperature. This “rule of thumb” appears to work satisfactorily
unless the concrete has been heated or cooled to a controlled temperature.
• Special Condition No. 2 — If concrete is to be pumped from the base of the form, the form should be designed for a full hydro-
static head of concrete (W x H) plus a minimum allowance of 25% for pump surge pressure. In certain instances pressures
may be as high as the face pressure of the pump piston.
• Special Condition No. 3 — Caution must be taken when using external vibration or concrete made with shrinkage compensat-
ing or expansive cements. Pressure in excess of equivalent hydrostatic may occur.
Wall forms must meet wind load requirements of American National Standards Institute A-58.1 (Reference to section 2-6) or of the
local building code, whichever is more stringent. The minimum wind design load must be 15 lbs per sq ft. Bracing for wall forms must
also be designed for a horizontal load of at least 100 lbs per lineal ft of wall applied at the top of the form.

Slab Formwork Design Loads

The loadings used in the designs of slab formwork consists of a dead load and a live load. The weight of the formwork plus the
concrete is considered dead load while the live load is made up of the weight of workers, equipment, material storage and other like
items which is supported by the formwork. The tables below tabulate design loads based on the concrete weight for the thicknesses
indicated, and includes 10 pounds per square foot for the weight of forms and a live load of 50 or 75 pounds per square foot as indi-
cated. A live load of 75 pounds per square foot is generally used when motorized carts are used to transport concrete during the
placing operation.

Technical Data–Plywood
Data is based on information supplied by the American Plywood Association (APA). The recommended spacings listed in the fol-
lowing table are for Plyform Class 1 or STRUCTURAL 1 Plyform. Plyform is a special exterior type of plywood designed by APA for
use in formwork for concrete construction.
Though not manufactured specifically for concrete forming, grades other than Plyform have been used in formwork. The spacings
shown in the table give a good estimate of performance for sanded grades such as APA A-C Exterior, APA B-C Exterior and unsanded
grades such as APA RATED SHEATHING Exterior and Exposure 1 (CDX) (marked PSI), provided the plywood is used in the same direc-
tion only.

Using the A29 Snap Tie Wrench:
1. After the form has been removed slide the wrench up the tie until the front of the wrench
contacts the concrete.

2. Keep the wrench tight against the concrete and push the handle towards the concrete, thus
bending the tie nearly 90˚. Next, rotate the wrench around the centerline of the tie. 1/4 to

B1 Two Strut Coil Tie and B2 Four Strut Coil Tie

Dayton Superior B1 and B2 Coil Ties are strong, versatile resistance welded ties designed to take the abuse encountered in medium
and heavy concrete construction. The coil tie is an extremely simple tie that is capable of servicing many applications and uses in
the field. It can be used with or without cones or combined with coil rod to form an adjustable tie. The coil threads are fast acting
and self-cleaning.
To determine the required coil tie length, subtract two times the desired or specified setback from the wall thickness.
[Wall thickness - (2x setback) = coil tie length].

B14W Wale Bolt Assembly

Dayton Superior B14W Wale Bolt Assembly consists of a 1/2" “L” Bolt, a round cut washer,
a B11 Flat Washer and two 1/2" B13 Coil Nuts. The B14W assembly is used to fasten wales B13 Coil
to crane-handled gang forms. One size assembly will secure wales up to 10" thick. The bolt Nut
has 8" of coil thread on the long end and 1-1/2" of coil thread on the short end.
The short end of the bolt is inserted through a 9/16" hole drilled through the center of the
stud. The cut washer and 1/2" nut fastens the bolt to the stud. The long end of the bolt
extends between the wales and allows the wales to be drawn tightly against the stud using a
flat washer and the second 1/2" nut.
Wale Bolt Assemblies are normally spaced at four feet intervals along the wales. The safe
working load of the assembly is dependent on the wale members being used.

greatly reduced when there is an angle between the nut on the coil rod and
the bearing surface.
The B31 Rock Anchor is not a reusable device. After the rock anchor has been set and the forming completed, do not attempt to
reuse the rock anchor.
**WARNING: For safe construction practice, the most critical factor to consider is the actual anchorage capacity provided by the
rock strata or concrete in which the rock anchor is to be installed. Correct hole depth and actual rock anchor capacity must always
be determined by field tests before placing rock anchors into general use on a project.

D24 Weld Angle Bracket
A
Dayton Superior D24 Weld Angle Bracket is designed to tie one sided forming to steel piles,

available on special order.
B
The D24 allows the form tie a pivot range of 110˚ (55˚ each direction) and exceeds the tensile
capacity of the form tie when properly installed by a certified welder. See safety note concerning
welding inside back cover.
H
Warning: To insure proper thread engagement the form tie must penetrate beyond the pivot C
bar a minimum of one diameter (the diameter of the form tie being used). An easy way to
accomplish this is to position the form tie perpendicular to the piling and thread it through the
pivot bar until it contacts the piling.

A58 Sure Plug

The Sure Plug is easily pushed into a hole the specified depth by using the
A59 Insertion Tool. The A58 Sure Plug should be installed ONLY with the
A59 Insertion Tool. Pushing against the bottom of the blind center hole of the
plug forces the plug’s oversize body to elongate as it enters the hole. When
the pushing force is stopped, the plug elastically returns towards its original
diameter creating a high radial pressure against the walls of the hole. When
properly installed, the A58 Sure Plug will withstand a hydrostatic pressure
equal to approximately a 277 ft. liquid head of water. Test report is available
on request.
As the plug is gray colored to blend with concrete, it may be positioned flush
with the concrete face, or recessed, depending on the architectural effect
desired. Depending on how the A59 insertion tool is adjusted, it will install the
plug either flush to the surface or approximately a 1-1/2" maximum depth.
When recessed, the Sure Plugs may also serve as backing for flush or recessed
grouting. Ribs inside the plug are designed to anchor the grout.
A58 Sure Plug is not intended to be installed to the center of a wall and attempts
to do so can in most cases rupture the plug.

F1 Screw Anchor and F2 Screw Anchor Bolt

F1 Screw Anchors are excellent for re-anchor of forms and have been used for years. The flat wire of the anchor, in full contact
with the bolt threads, transfers the load into the surrounding concrete. The screw anchor must be threaded onto the bolt and
locked against the skein threads of the bolt by a hard twist. The screw anchor is the most economical insert to use when depth of
embedment is available.
The safe working loads shown can only be developed when the assembled bolt and anchor is embedded at least ten times the bolt
diameter. If the screw anchor is inserted after the concrete is placed, the concrete must be thoroughly vibrated in order to develop
the safe working loads.
CAUTION: The Screw Anchor Bolt is not interchangeable with either a Coil Bolt or National Course Bolts.
For ease of bolt removal, coat screw anchor bolts with a water resistant grease. It is important that the bond between the bolt and
concrete be broken by twisting the bolt at least one turn as soon as the concrete has reached a compressive strength of 1,000 to
1,500 psi.

produces a smooth, flush surface joint that requires no filling. The use of Screed
Key Joint minimizes random cracking and provides proper load transfer from slab to
slab.
The use of Screed Key Joint is more economical than bulk-headed forms that must be
prepared, installed, stripped, cleaned, repaired or replaced and stored. With Screed Key

How to Use Screed Key Joint

Step 1:
Stretch a line over the entire length. Drive stakes are placed
on approximately 20'. Set stakes 1/8" below finished floor
elevation. Secure the line to the top of the stakes (as shown in
the inset). Drive additional stakes to the bottom of the line at
the end location of each screed key section.
Step 2:
Install Screed Key Joint on the stakes as shown. It is prefer-
able to have the key facing the initial concrete placement.
Butted joints are aligned over a stake, as shown in the inset.
Step 3:
Drive intermediate stakes through the holes provided in the
pre-formed key.
Rev, 09/17 89
General Slabwork
Step 5:
Tin snips or a metal cutting saw can be used to trim
or cut the key, when necessary.
Step 6:
Where joints meet at right angles, key joint should
be trimmed to fit as shown. Note close proximity of
the stakes to the joint.
Step 7:
1-1/8" knockouts are supplied, as shown, on 6"
centers when doweling is specified. When Screed
Key Joint is used as a bulkhead for a construction
joint, the knockout would be bent back into the pour
at a 45˚ angle, as shown.
Step 8:
Entire slabs may be poured at the same time by
leaving out 10' sections of Screed Key Joint tempo-
rarily until the concrete truck can pull ahead and the
section replaced.
Good slab construction practice dictates that slab
reinforcement be properly supported by rebar sup-
ports after the truck has passed.

When a thickened contraction joint is specified, and the shape and/ GRADE

that the slab thickness should be 2/3 of the joint thickness, with 2/3d

outer two feet of the slab, as shown in the sketch. Key dimensions
should be as shown, with the key centered vertically in the joint.
Note: Joint thickness should be determined by the designer, so that 24"

repeated stress does not exceed 50% of the ultimate strength.
Step 2:
Stretch a line over the entire length. Drive stakes are placed on
approximately 20 foot centers. Set stakes 1/8" below finished floor
elevation. Secure the line to the top of the stakes (as shown in the
inset). Drive additional stakes to the bottom of the line at the end
location of each Load Key section.
Step 3:
Stake Driving can be facilitated with the use of the G36 Stake
Driving Tool (available on special order). The G36 tool prevents

the top of the stake from being flattened, as well as acting as a
guide. A 2x4 placed adjacent to the stake will help align the stake
vertically.
Step 4:

Install Load Key Joint on the stakes as shown. Butt joints are
aligned at a stake as shown in the inset.
Step 5:
Drive intermediate stakes through holes provided in the formed
keyway.

Step 6:
When joints meet at right angles, Load Key can be trimmed to fit
as shown. Note the stakes are placed in close proximity to the
joint.
Step 7:
1-1/8" knockouts are supplied, as shown, on 6" centers when
doweling is specified. When Load Key Joint is used as a bulk-
head for a construction joint, the knockout would be bent back
into the pour at a 45˚ angle, as shown. The knockout holes
may be used to pass conduit up to 1" O.D. Additional bracing
(as shown) will be required for bulkhead pours. Load Key Joint
should remain in place when bulkhead bracing is removed.
Step 8:
Load Key Joint will only support a manual screed, to strike-off
concrete, when concrete is placed simultaneously on both sides
of the Load Key before screeding. Failure to place concrete
equally on both sides of the joint may cause misalignment or
bending of the Load Key.
Step 9:
A common and economical method is to pour concrete in strip
fashion as shown. When a strip is poured and finished, there
are no added steps such as, cutting or stripping. Use temporary
bulkhead for support behind each key joint.

G60 Curb Smart

Dayton Superior G60 Curb Smart Forming System is easily adaptable to many different
concrete forming applications. It is well suited for forming sidewalks, driveways, curb
and gutters, pavement, footings and industrial slabs. Curb Smart features durable steel
construction, precision welded for maximum service life.
G60 Curb Smart Straight Form

Curb Smart straight forms are available in 10' lengths with heights ranging from 4"
Curb and Gutter Configuration
to 24". Each form section has reinforced stake pockets which allows the form to be
securely positioned with 3/4" or 7/8" steel stakes. The rounded nose end of the form
nests into the box end of the next section for accurate alignment and continuity. G60
straight forms are most often used as edge forms for slabs or for various curb and
gutter configurations.
The bottom edge of the form can rest on sub-grade or the form may be positioned
at the proper elevation utilizing the steel stakes. Straight forms can be stacked for
thicker slab applications.
Curb dimensions will determine the shape of the Division Plates (or Skeleton Plates)
which are positioned over the straight forms. The final concrete finish is done after
removal of the plates, but before final set. G60 Curb Smart

Curb Smart Installation

The Curb Smart Forming System is easy to set up when
these simple installation steps are followed:
1. Set the curb side of the System first.
2. Use steel stakes and a string line to mark the grade to the proper elevation.
3. Position the first Curb Smart form parallel to the string and put a steel stake in
each of the stake pockets. Use a minimum of two stakes per each 10' length of
Curb Smart.
4. Check the form position and drive in the steel stakes. Raise the form to grade
and use the stake pocket wedges to secure the form. Properly position and secure the form with
5. Connect the next Curb Smart form to the previous form and put a steel stake in a steel stake in each stake pocket.
each stake pocket.
6. Position the form and drive in the stakes. Raise the form and secure it with the
stake pocket wedges.
7. Repeat until all of the curb side forms are in position.
8. Hook the Division (or Skeleton) Plates over the top of the curb side forms. Use
a minimum of two Division Plates for the first 10' length and one for each sub-
sequent 10' length.
9. Position the gutter side form opposite the curb side form.
10. Hook the Division Plates over the top of the gutter side forms and put a steel
stake in each of the stake pockets. Use a minimum of two stakes for each 10'
length.
11. Check the form position and drive in the stakes. Raise the form to grade and
secure with the stake pocket wedges.
12. Repeat this procedure to set the entire gutter side of the System.
13. Set the Curb Face Form on the Division Plates and secure to the form with the
Top Spreader. Use a minimum of one Top Spreader for each 10' length.

Safety Information
Improper Use of Concrete Accessories Can Cause

Severe Injury or Death
Read, understand and follow the information and instructions in this publication before
using any of the Dayton Superior concrete accessories displayed herein. When in
doubt about the proper use or installation of any Dayton Superior concrete accessory,
immediately contact the nearest Dayton Superior Service Center or Technical Service
Department for clarification. See back cover for your nearest location.
Dayton Superior products are intended for use by trained, qualified and experienced workers only. Misuse or lack of supervision and/or inspection
can contribute to serious accidents or deaths. Any application other than those shown in this publication should be carefully tested before use.
The user of Dayton Superior products must evaluate the product application, determine the safe working load and control all field condi-
tions to prevent applications of loads in excess of a product’s safe working load. Safety factors shown in this publication are approximate
minimum values. The data used to develop safe working loads for products displayed in this publication are a combination of actual
testing and/or other industry sources. Recommended safe working loads given for the products in this publication must never be exceeded.
Worn Working Parts

For safety, concrete accessories must be properly used and maintained. Concrete accessories shown in this publication may be subject
to wear, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration and other factors that may affect the device’s performance. All
reusable accessories must be inspected regularly by the user to determine if they may be used at the rated safe working load or should
be removed from service. The frequency of inspections depends upon factors such as (but not limited to) the amount of use, period of
service and environment. It is the responsibility of the user to schedule accessory hardware inspections for wear and remove the hard-
ware from service when wear is noted.
Shop or Field Modification

Welding can compromise a product’s safe working load value and cause hazardous situations. Knowledge of materials, heat treating and welding
procedures is necessary for proper welding. Consult a local welding supply dealer for assistance in determining required welding procedures.
Since Dayton Superior cannot control workmanship or conditions in which modifications are done, Dayton Superior cannot be responsible for any
product altered in the field.
Interchangeability
Many concrete accessory products that Dayton Superior manufactures are designed as part of a system. Dayton Superior strongly dis-
courages efforts to interchange products supplied by other manufacturers with components supplied by Dayton Superior. When used
properly, and in accordance with published instructions, Dayton Superior products have proven to be among the best designed and
safest in the industry. Used improperly or with incompatible components supplied by other manufacturers, Dayton Superior products or
systems may be rendered unsafe.
