Panel Base Connector – P
Panel Base Connector – P*
Eliminate misaligned embed plates and field welding by
bolting panels directly to the foundation
The Panel Base Connector-P 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.
Foam thickness can be increased to center PBC-P in wall.
The connection provides a nominal capacity in
excess of 10 Kips for tension, meeting the applicable
ACI requirements.
The relatively small access area is easy to grout,
providing complete embedment and encapsulation
for corrosion protection.

09/26Basic Installation
1. Position and fasten the Panel Base Connector-P to the desired
location(s) in the bottom edge of panel formwork using the holes
provided or hold up for upside wall projection.
2. Cast, lift, handle and erect the completed panel on the concrete
footing or foundation as typical.
3. Remove the foam cover from the face of Panel Base Connector-P.
4. Through the opening of the Panel Base Connector-P, drill a
minimum 3/4” x 7” hole in foundation, using a 3/4” bit, into the
footing or foundation.
5. Clean the concrete dust from each hole.
6. Place the 3/4” x 10” screw anchor though the Panel Base
Connector-P into the footing or foundation.
7. Torque anchor into the footing or foundation with a maximum of
150 ft.-lbs. Do not over-torque anchor.
8. Grouting cavity or patching face of panel is not required and is
optional.
