A purposely designed C2 rated structural connection for hollowcore and deltacore panels. 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 and deltacore retrofit techniques, including:

  • Seismic restraint of services

  • Steel strong backs

  • Supplementary shear reinforcing (Learn more)

  • Structural steel connections

  • Diaphragm strengthening

FEATURES

  • Thread only where it’s needed. Support easy installation through hollowcore voids and prevent premature failure in the slab underside

  • Built-in Ø30mm washers sized to resist “pull-through” bearing failure

  • Short pitch concrete thread for increased capacity in shallow embedment applications

Technical

  • Ø10mm nominal shank diameter with 240mm and 350mm standard lengths.

  • Ø30mm or Ø20mm washer diameters for seismic retrofit and seismic restraint applications.

  • Zinc-plated coating

  • C2 rated capacities, test data available (Read more).

  • Construction detail examples available in PDF, CAD, and RVT (Request).

  • Proof testing on-site for quality assurance available (Contact us).
