Fig.

980 - Universal Swivel Sway Brace Attachment

Size Range — One size fits bracing pipe 1” thru 2”, TOLCO 12 gauge
channel, and all structural steel up to 1/4” thick. Component of State of
California OSHPD Approved
Material — Carbon Steel Seismic Restraints System
Function — Multi-functional attachment to structure or braced pipe fit-
ting.
Features — This product’s design incorporates a concentric attachment
opening which is critical to the performance of structural seismic con-
nections. NFPA 13 (2010) 9.3.5.8.4 indicates clearly that fastener table
load values are based only on concentric loading. Mounts to any sur-
face angle. Break off bolt head assures verification of proper installation.
Installation — The Fig.980 is the structural or transitional attach-
ment component of a longitudinal or lateral sway brace assembly. It is
intended to be combined with the “bracing pipe” and TOLCO “braced
pipe” attachment, Fig. 1000, 1001, 2002, 4L, 4A or 4B to form a com-
plete bracing assembly. NFPA 13 and/or OSHPD guidelines should be
followed.
To Install — Place the Fig. 980 onto the “bracing pipe”. Tighten the set
bolt until set bolt head breaks off. Attachment can pivot for adjustment
to proper brace angle.
Approvals — Underwriters Laboratories Listed in the USA (UL) and
Canada (cUL). Approved by Factory Mutual Engineering (FM). Included
in our Seismic Restraints Catalog approved by the State of California
Officeof Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD). For
additional load, spacing and placement information relating to OSHPD
projects, please refer to the TOLCO Seismic Restraint Systems
Guidelines.
Note — The Fig. 980 Swivel Attachment and the Fig. 1001, Fig. 1000,
Fig. 2002, Fig. 4A, Fig. 4B or Fig. 4L Pipe Clamp make up a sway brace
system of UL Listed attachments and bracing materials which satisfies
the requirements of Underwriters’ Laboratories and the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA)
