Chord Connector Data Sheet

Chord Connector
Pre-engineered welding location for connections between adjoining precast concrete elements
The Chord Connector assembly is tied to rebar at a pre-engineered location, positioning the steel plate at the edge of a precast element for later welding.
The plates of adjoining precast elements are welded together to reinforce the structure. The minimum weld length is 7” using a 3/8”x8” weld slug, in accordance with American Welding Society (AWS) standards.
The Chord Connector is suitable for end-to-end and edge-to-edge welding in single tees, double tees and other precast elements.
Chord Connector locations are pre-engineered for optimal diaphragm reinforcement.
