The Type AF girder clamp is used to achieve a fast steelwork fixing connection where high load capacities are present in either tensile, frictional or combined load directions. It has a recessed top to hold the bolt head captive while the nut and washer are tightened down using only one tool, alternatively use a Type AFW washer to convert the recess to a flat top. The skirt on the underside of the clamp abuts the edge of the beam flange and prevents the clamp rotating during installation. Manufactured from SG iron with a hot dip galvanised finish to provide high performance and anti-corrosion protection. High slip resistance clamp evaluated for tensile, frictional and combined load applications. 70kN static slip resistance or 250kN tensile (AF24 with 4 x property class 10.9 fasteners). Recess holds the bolt head captive (property class 8.8). Suitable for parallel and tapered flanges up to and including 10°. The tail spans slotted clearance holes. Lindapter recommends the use of DTI Washers conforming to EN14399-9 with the Type AF. Independently approved for dynamic load applications to EN 1993-1-9. Contact us for more details.
