Edge Connector Data Sheet

Edge Connector
Reliable welding location for adjoining precast concrete walls and slabs
The Edge Connector is a rebar-winged embed designed for precast or tilt-up concrete applications. The rebar “wing” is tied into the panel reinforcing steel, with the “flat” positioned at the panel edge for later welding.
The rectangular “flat” on the Edge Connector provides for a thicker, more reliable, field welding surface between adjoining precast panels. The rectangular shape exhibits greater weld strength, with less variability, compared to typical round slugs.
The Edge Connector exhibits excellent performance in Horizontal Shear, Tension and Vertical Shear, making it suitable for precast or tilt-up concrete applications, including parking garage floors, roof slabs, bridge decks and industrial walls.
Edge Connectors are used to join adjacent precast or tilt-up concrete elements.
