The company's experience in marketing, engineering, and service has allowed USP to be a leader in developing new connectors for a changing construction industry. USP Operations Include · Eight strategically placed manufacturing and warehousing locations. · In-house quality control and testing with independent, third-party plant inspection, and test witnessing. · Our National Factory Technical Sales Force is ready to help with application questions. [. . . ] · Do not rely on these anchors to secure concrete sections together between cold joints · For FA3, insert into wet concrete (minimum strength of 2, 000 psi). Secure flanges to sill (and stud, if applicable), bending flanges as needed to achieve a tight fit. · For ST1-TZ and ST2-TZ spread sill flanges to mudsill width prior to insertion into wet concrete (minimum strength of 2, 000 psi). Alternate installation is possible by inserting unbent flanges through 3/4 center hole predrilled in mudsill. Foundation anchors may also be attached to mudsill and then inserted into wet concrete. When installing ST2-TZ into concrete block, fill cells with grout with a minimum strength of 2, 000 psi. Concrete block edges may need to be beveled to facilitate installation. · For additional installation details and information mudsill anchors refer to ST Foundation Anchors Technical Bulletin. · ST2-TZ shall be installed in the core of the block and grouted with concrete grout designed for that purpose. In no case, shall they be installed in a mortar joint.
