Panel Base Connector
Panel Base Connector*
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 tension, meeting the applicable

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

16.2.4.3 (b), and ACI 551.2R-15 Chapter 8.
Average tensile test value is 34,896 lbs in 6,555
psi concrete. Conversion from psi to tensile:
6000 psi = 33,381 lbs
5000 psi = 30,472 lbs
4000 psi = 27,255 lbs
3000 psi = 23,604 lbs

09/26Basic Installation
1. Position and fasten the Panel Base Connector to the desired
location(s) in the bottom edge of panel formwork using the holes
provided.
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.
4. 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.
5. Clean/vacuum the concrete dust from each hole.
6. Place the 3/4” x 10” screw anchor though the Panel Base Connector
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. Fill the access cavity with grout and finish flush with panel surface.
Position and fasten the
connector along the bottom
edge of the panel formwork.
Drill a 3/4” x 7” hole, using
a 3/4” x 24” bit, through the
opening of the connector into
the footing or foundation.
Place a 3/4” x 10” screw
anchor though the connector
and footing or foundation,
then torque to 150 ft-lbs.
Fill the cavity with
grout and finish
flush with surface.
