ICC Approved Anchors
ICC Approved Anchors
(OP)
Folks,
How many of your are specifying only ICC approved anchors in your specifications or general notes?
I think the IBC -> ACI App D -> ACI 355.2 -> ASTM -> ICC-ES round-tripping only leaves a few code approved anchors although there are a many handful more listed in vendor's manuals.
Are you only using the code approved ones in your design or do your respective jurisdictions have a leeway in these because they are PRODUCTS.

So only anchors with current ICC reports listing compliance with 2006 IBC for us. Currently specifying Hilti and Simpson adhesives and mech anchors.

I am in FL (HVHZ) as well. Just wondering if there is any resistance to specifying only a handful of anchor choices. I am by no means trying to violate code requirements, but curious as to what the general practice is.

RE: ICC Approved Anchors
There are two schools of thought on specifications...specify a range and let someone pick the one they want, or specify a limited group that you will accept based on experience with the product. I like to stick with the latter, since I came from a testing background and have done hundreds of tests on anchors of various types.

Since you seem knowledgeable regarding the Florida product approvals, I want to ask you if you had problems regarding Dade/Broward counties accepting the Florida Statewide approvals. My colleagues have run into problems where the City of Miami would not accept a Simpson anchor because it does not state FBC HVHZ in the ICC-ES reports.
On a side note, I did find the following Hilti anchors approved for use in HVHZ
