TABLE NOTES:
- Allowable loads were derived from tests conducted in accordance with ASTM E1592 and ASTM E72.
- Allowable loads are calculated with a factor of safety of 2.0 for bending and shear.
- Connection strengths reflect a standard fastener pattern - (@) 1/4” - 14 self drilling screw into minimum 14ga substrate. Other substrates must be designed separately. 2” wall panel utilize a flat clip. All other thicknesses utilize an angle clip.
- Fastener capacity is based on manufacturer pullout/pullover data and are calculated with a safety factor of 3.0.
- Allowable loads assume a minimum bearing of 2”.
- Thermal Effects were not considered in analysis.
- The structural capacity of the supporting members were not considered.
- Bending/Shear and Deflection for 5” and 6” panels based on 4” capacity.

TABLE NOTES:
- Allowable loads were derived from tests conducted in accordance with ASTM E1592 and ASTM E72.
- Allowable loads are calculated with a factor of safety of 2.0 for bending and shear.
- Connection strengths reflect a standard fastener pattern - (@) 1/4” - 14 self drilling screw into minimum 14ga substrate. Other substrates must be designed separately.
- Fastener capacity is based on manufacturer pullout/pullover data and are calculated with a safety factor of 3.0.
- Allowable loads assume a minimum bearing of 2”.
- Thermal Effects were not considered in analysis.
- The structural capacity of the supporting members were not considered.
