RETROFIT CONNECTORS RFA RETROFIT FOUNDATION ANGLES Design Features . . eliminates vertical drilling into the mudsill for an anchor bolt that is to be used in a retrofit application. The RFA just needs to be nailed to the mudsill for retrofit needs or standards. The RFA must not be used more than 1 foot from the end of the mudsill, maximum spacing then is 2¹⁄₂ feet on-center. Material . . 12 ga. galvanized steel. Special . . four sizes to fit 6 inch and 8 inch mudsills . . two regular sizes and two sizes for extra heavy-duty applications . . slotted bending holes are provided for conditions where the foundation does not line-up to the joists. RFA RFP RFS RETROFIT FOUNDATION PLATES/STRAPS Design Features . . the RFS provides the builder with either nail or bolt holes for stud or floor joist connections. The ⁹⁄₁₆" holes in the lower flange are for ¹⁄₂" retrofit bolts used to connect the RFS to concrete foundation walls. The RFP provides lateral load resistance by connecting the mudsill to the foundation. Material . . 12 ga. and 7 ga. galvanized steel. Special . . slotted bending holes are provided for conditions where the foundation does not line-up to the joists. The foundation straps are designed especially for true anchorage alignment to studs or floor joists by nailing; then bolting into concrete walls or foundations. A shim should be used if space between the plate and the sill is more than ³⁄₁₆" but less than 1¹⁄₂". If the space is greater, use the RFA series. RFS25 RPA RETROFIT POST ANCHORS Design Features . . allows exact column placement after the concrete has been set. The RPA66 is used for either new or retrofit conditions with either surfaced or rough 6xs. The RPA66 is installed in pairs. Material . . 10 ga. galvanized steel.

RPA66 FJ FLOOR JACKS Design Features . . provide precise height and leveling for floor beams from 5" to 21" with infinitely adjustable settings within this range for a perfect fit. The standard design is welded 12 ga. steel. Material . . Seat – 12 ga. steel, ³⁄₄" threaded steel rod. FJs for dynamic jacking of structures, such as houses. 96 www.itwbcghardware.com - 800.521.9790 FJ1318 ITW BCG Hardware
