Engineered for precision and stability, Tie Down's Gator Beam Clamps are a vital component for secure longitudinal strap attachment. These clamps are designed to fasten to the bottom of the main beam, offering a dependable connection point for straps on each end of the home. With a focused purpose, Gator Beam Clamps are key to facilitating the attachment of straps to the I-beam, ensuring the robust anchoring of your structure. You can achieve optimal results by determining the strategic locations for anchor and stabilizer plates as well as bracket placement on the I-beam. This meticulous planning ensures a strap angle of 45 degrees or lower for maximum effectiveness. Installing the Gator Beam Clamp is straightforward and hassle-free. Employ ½-in. grade 5 bolts and nuts to affix the clamp to the I-beam. To complete the connection, use a ½-in. grade 5 bolt and nut to attach the swivel connector and strap to the bolt closest to the anchor. Tailoring to your specific needs, these clamps cater to different wind zones. Utilize 4 bolts for wind zones 1 and 2 while opting for 8 bolts in zones 3 and Florida, ensuring steadfast stability regardless of the environment.
