Fig. 69R - Retrofit Capable Beam Clamp
Retaining Strap
Revision 3/10/2010
Size Range — 3/8" and 1/2" rod; 4" thru 16" length.
Material — Pre-Galvanized Steel
Function — To offer more secure fastening of various types
of beam clamps to beam where danger of movement might
be expected. NFPA 13 requires the use of retaining straps
with all beam clamps installed in earthquake areas. Satisfies
requirements of NFPA 13 (2010) 9.3.7.1.
Features — Beveled locking slot* is precisely formed to align
with the threaded section of a hanger rod or set screw and
engage the unit securely. May be used as shown in section
“A-A” or inverted. Allows easy installation for new construc-
tion or retrofit applications.
Important Note — Good installation practice of a retaining
strap requires that the strap be held tightly and securely to
all component parts of the assembly. Therefore, a locking
mechanism of some kind, such as the beveled locking slot
of the Fig. 69R or a hex nut tightened against other types of
retaining straps will provide a more secure and reliable instal-
lation.
Approvals — Underwriters’ Laboratories listed in the
USA (UL) and Canada (cUL) . Approved for use with any
listed beam clamp. Included in our Seismic Restraints
Catalog approved by the State of California Office of
