slide bearing assembly
slide bearing assembly
(OP)
we have an old detail showing a furon flourogold slide bearing assembly supporting a steel wide flange on a seated connection. the detail does not depict a bolt through the seat and wide flange.
i have to imagine that a bolt would be required here, connecting the WF to the seat, but how would that work without seizing up the assembly? i seem to remember that bolts are not allowed to be finger tightened per AISC, but would standard bolts in a long slotted hole work here?
thanks for your help.

RE: slide bearing assembly
I like your idea of using machine bolts instead of A325. With the A325 bolts some one might torque them down, thinking they need to be that way.

thanks for the quick reply. sorry for the miscommunication but my intent was to differentiate between an A325 bearing bolt and a A325 slip critical bolt. Im not sure i would use a machine bolt.
