Snap with 3/8″ × 2-1/2″ screw anchor
Concrete is tough!
The heavier Snap assembly: an SN38 over a 3/8″ × 2-1/2″ screw anchor, offered on #3 and #4 cable.
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.
SN38 Snap and 3/8″ × 2-1/2″ screw anchor.
Allowable tension load
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.
| Cable | Cable capacity | Solid slab or beam | Concrete on B metal deck | Concrete on W metal deck |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #3, 1/8″ | 320 | 320 | 310 | 320 |
| #4, 3/16″ | 630 | 540 | 310 | 485 |
- Solid slab or beam: 3,000 psi normalweight
- Concrete on B metal deck: 3,000 psi, normalweight or lightweight
- Concrete on W metal deck: 3,000 psi, normalweight or lightweight
Published capacities are the lesser of the ICC assembly rating and the anchor capacity, so they reflect the complete assembly including the structural connection. Anchor values are ASD in cracked concrete, minimum 3,000 psi, single anchor with no edge or spacing reduction. Drill to the minimum hole depth; it exceeds the embedment. The Snap accommodates 1, 2 or 3 cables. Connection to structure must be reviewed by the structural engineer of record.
| Requirement | Solid slab or beam | Concrete on B metal deck | Concrete on W metal deck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embedment, nominal / effective | 2″ / 1.33″ | 2″ / 1.33″ | 2″ / 1.33″ |
| Minimum hole depth | 2-3/8″ | 2-3/8″ | 2-3/8″ |
| Minimum concrete | 3-1/2″ slab | 2-1/2″ above upper flute | 2-1/2″ above upper flute |
| Minimum edge distance / spacing | 2-1/2″ / 4″ | 3″ / 4″ | 3″ / 7-1/2″ |
| Installation torque | 25 ft-lb | 25 ft-lb | 25 ft-lb |
Fastener evaluated under ICC-ES ESR-3889.

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.
