BPRTUD Bearing Plate

Strong-Rod® ATS Components

This product's information may differ depending on the category of use. You are currently viewing details related to Strong-Rod® ATS Components. You can also view product information related to the category: Strong-Rod® URS Components

The BPRTUD is a bearing plate designed to give a bearing surface that helps distribute the load of critical connections. This bearing plate works with the RTUD (ratcheting take-up device) to provide a cost-effective shrinkage compensation solution for continuous rod systems. The BPRTUD is hand-installed with the RTUD on top of it, creating continuous engagement with the rod that enables the system to perform as designed at all times.

Key Features

  • Gives greater bearing surface than standard-cut washers
  • Maintains rod-system tightness, allowing it to perform as designed

Material

  • ASTM A1011 for 3 ga. plates and ASTM A36 for all other thicknesses

Installation

  • The BPRTUD should be hand-placed over the threaded rod, fully bearing on the wood plate
  • Once the RTUD device is installed on top and fastener holes are aligned, secure the assembly to the wood plate with the Strong-Drive® fasteners

  1. No further increase in allowable load permitted.
  2. Plate bearing area based on rod diameter plus 1/4"-diameter drilled hole through wood plate below steel bearing plate. Reduce allowable load per code for larger holes.
  3. Recommend drilled holes through sole plates and flooring systems be completed as one continuous drill to help prevent misalignment of holes that can be created when drilled by different trades at different stages of construction.
  4. Bearing plate load capacity is based on the steel plate bearing on the wood sole plate perpendicular to the grain and steel plate bending in cantilever action.
