Notes:
Loads listed are uniformly distributed with a pair of CADDY ROD LOCK Strut End Brackets. Brackets are designed to be used as a pair and not 1.
in single bracket applications
When deflection is not a factor, use a stress of 25,000 psi [172.4 MPa]2.
The CADDY® ERISTRUT load tables, a "Uniform Load at Stress" for imperial strut or "Loading Case B from Allowable Tension" for metric strut, 3.
should be used to determine the capacity ratings for a Beam Span = Strut Length "L" + Length Factor "Lf "
When deflection is a factor, use a deflection of span/240 for imperial strut or use a deflection of span/200 for metric strut4.
The CADDY ERISTRUT load tables, a "Uniform Load when Maximum Deflection = span/240" for imperial strut or "Loading Case B from Allowable 5.
Deflection" for metric strut, should be used to determine the capacity ratings for a Beam Span = Strut Length "L" + Length Factor "Lf "
The load value selected per Notes 3 and 5 includes a half slot hole factor of 0.926.
It is recommended that a factor of safety, appropriate for the application of the CADDY ROD LOCK Strut End Brackets and strut assembly, be 7.

NOTE: All load ratings are for static conditions and do not account for dynamic loading such as wind, water or seismic loads, unless otherwise noted.
The customer is responsible for:
a. Conformance to all governing codes.
b. The integrity of structures to which the products are attached, including their capability of safely accepting the loads imposed, as evaluated by a qualified
engineer.
c. Using appropriate industry standard hardware as noted above.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
All governing codes and regulations and those required by the job site must be observed.
Always use appropriate safety equipment such as eye protection, hard hat, and gloves as appropriate to the application.
followed to ensure proper and safe installation and performance. 3.
1. Span "L1" between two rods:
L1 max = Strut Length "L" +
2.52" [64mm]
L1 min = Strut Length "L" +
1.14" [29mm]
2. Overall Length "L2":
L2 max = L1 max + 1.62" [41mm]
L2 min = L1 min + 1.62" [41mm]
3. Strut Working Space "L3":
L3 max = Strut Length "L" -
2.1" [54mm]
L3 min = Strut Length "L" -
3.5" [88mm]
