Panel Base Connector – P
Eliminate misaligned embed plates and field welding by
bolting panels directly to the foundation
The Panel Base Connector is easy to position and
fasten at the bottom edge of the form. It can be
placed in either a face-up or face-down orientation
depending on the forming and handling preference.
The high-strength, purpose designed drill-in 3/4”x10”
screw anchor provides an immediate and secure
connection when tightened. There is no grout set-up
or wait time.
The connection is centered in the concrete panel,
minimizing moment and eccentric forces in the
design, and resisting in-plane tension and out-of-
plane shear forces.
The connection provides a nominal capacity in
excess of 10 Kips for shear and tension, meeting the
applicable ACI requirements.
The relatively small access area is easy to grout,
providing complete embedment and encapsulation
for corrosion protection.
Meets ACI integrity requirements of ACI-318 -11
16.5.1.3(b) ACI318-14 16.2.4.3(b), ACI-318-19
16.2.4.3 (b), and ACI 551.2R-15 Chapter 8.

Basic Installation
Position and fasten the Panel Base Connector to the desired
location(s) in the bottom edge of panel formwork using the holes
provided.
Cast, lift, handle and erect the completed panel on the concrete
footing or foundation as typical.
Remove the foam cover from the face of Panel Base Connector.
Drill a minimum 3/4” x 7” hole, using a 3/4” x 24”, bit through the
opening of the Panel Base Connector into the footing or foundation.
Clean/vacuum the concrete dust from each hole.
Place the 3/4” x 10” screw anchor though the Panel Base Connector
into the footing or foundation.
