Stud Extender Data Sheet

Stud Extender

An adjustable plastic support for accurately positioning

embeds and weld plates

Placing embeds and weld plates is always a critical

step in concrete panel production so having an

accurate and reliable method is important.

Rather than job-built brackets that interfere with

concrete finishing or panel “wet-setting” that risks

inaccurate positioning, choose a Stud Extender.

The Stud Extender slides on the end of each stud to

support the plate. The overall height of the plate can

be adjusted by simply cutting the plastic leg.

The Stud Extender is easy-to-use, saving time and

money, including:

•

Eliminates wood forming and the obstacle to

concrete placing, screeding and finishing.

•

The plastic extender is non-rusting so there is no

concrete surface staining in the finished panel.

•

The tapered Stud Extender pierces the foam in

sandwich panels as its pushed into position.

•

The stud-to-extender connection provides a fixed

height to accurately match the panel thickness.

Using four Stud Extenders on a typical embed

plate provides up to 5” of height adjustment. The

overall length is 6”. Inset illustrates stud-to-extender

03/26Stud Extender Installation

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Slide and press the Stud Extender onto the stud. Each plate

should have four Stud Extenders, one at each corner.

Larger plates or unusual configurations may require more than

four Stud Extenders to support and balance the weight.

Place the plate next to the panel form and mark a level line across

the Stud Extenders (top image).

Cut off each Stud Extender at the level line to match the panel

form height (middle image).

Turn the plate upright and place in the proper location. Fasten the

plate to the rebar mat and/or form (bottom image).
