PC1End fixing10/bag · 5/bag at 35′

1-1/4″ pin and clip

Concrete is tough!

A swaged #2 or #3 cable assembly with a 1-1/4″ pin and clip already made up on the top end. Drive the pin with a powder-actuated tool into the concrete deck and the cable is hung.

Assemblies ship individually wrapped and color coded by size, so a box of thirty does not arrive as a tangled mess. Sold 10/bag through 20′ and 5/bag at 35′.

Give us the size, drop and service and we’ll spec the part number and price the build.

Per ASCE 7, power-actuated fasteners are limited to 90 lbs of tension in Seismic Design Categories C (Ip = 1.5), D, E and F. Manufactured to ASTM A1023 and ASTM A931. This assembly is outside the scope of ICC-ES listing PMG-1840; refer to the Technical Data Sheet for capacities. Dry locations only, static overhead support only.

Allowable tension load

Capacities from the Technical Data Sheet

Allowable tension loads per Technical Data Sheet R0.1. This assembly is outside the scope of ICC-ES listing PMG-1840, so the sheet is the published source.

Values are the allowable vertical tension on the clip assembly. Install with a low-velocity powder-actuated tool per Blue Point instructions. Concrete must reach its specified strength before fasteners are driven. Steel deck: 3″ composite, 0.035″ minimum base metal, 40/55 ksi minimum. Connection to structure must be reviewed by the structural engineer of record.

Before you install

Limits that apply on every job

Follow capacity limits

Never overload SSF Cable Assemblies. Refer to the Technical Data Sheets for complete assembly capacities.

Take angle reductions

Assemblies not installed vertically take the published angle reduction, applied to the assembly rating. When cable is looped around round duct, the resulting angle shall not exceed 60°. Y-Accessories and Y-Assemblies may not be installed at angles greater than 60°.

Never join two cables

Never join 2 cables into a single device. Voids engineering and warranty.

Do not use for lifting

Static overhead support only. Not for lifting, rigging, or fall protection.

Dry indoor use only

Not for wet, chlorinated, or otherwise corrosive environments. Use SSF cable only; plastic-coated and third-party cables are not permitted with SSF devices.

Do not paint cables. Keep cables clean.

Install in final position before painting. Devices cannot be adjusted after paint contacts the cable. Cables must be free of oil and fireproofing prior to device installation.

Send the spec. We’ll build the support.
