THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 39 LNA Solutions, Inc. 3924A Varsity Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108 Toll-free: 1-888-724-2323 Tel: 734-677-2305 Fax: 734-677-2339 Email: info@lnasolutons.com www.LNASolutions.com BOXBOLT ® EARNS ICC ES CERTIFICATION LNA Solutions, Inc., announces that its BoxBolt® is the first blind fastener to receive an International Code Council (ICC) Evaluation Service Report for use as ICC ES ESR-3217. ICC is an accrediting association dedicated to developing model codes and standards. The company will exhibit BoxBolt and its complete line of BeamClamp steelto-steel fasteners at Booth #1848 during the National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo, October 24-25, 2013 in Las Vegas. BoxBolt provides a safe, secure means of connecting rectangular, circular, or square hollow tube steel for cladding, curtain walls, blast walls, cell tower, reinforcement, and in other applications where access to the tube is limited to the opposite side of the connection, according to LNA Solutions. No on-site drilling or welding is required, and installation is fast and easy using basic hand tools. BoxBolt connections offer a guaranteed safe load and provide aesthetic detail plus a corrosionresistant finish. It is available in diameters of 1/2-inch, 5/8- inch, and 3/4-inch, each with three different lengths. The method of using “blind-bolt type” fasteners has been recognized since 1996 in the AISC Steel Construction Manual (Section 7-13) as an alternative to welding; however, it was not a certified solution by an accrediting agency. “Our customers have been asking for us to acquire such approval, with the need to have an ICC Evaluation Report being the most common request,” according to Terry Doran, Vice President of Sales for LNA Solutions. “Since no other blind fastener had ever undergone the evaluation process, ICC required that we develop an Acceptance Criteria (AC) for BoxBolt,” Doran said. “We then began working with Ronald Hamburger, Senior Principal at Simpson, Gumpertz & Heger to develop what is now known as AC437. This was approved by ICC ES for testing.” BoxBolt is the only blind fastener that has an ESR from the ICC ES.
