A conduit stub-up eliminator assembly as disclosed herein comprises an elbow including a first connector end for securing to a horizontal in-slab raceway, in use, and a second connector end having a threaded collar with an opening for selectively receiving a vertical above slab raceway, in use. A stub extends radially outward proximate the collar. A supporting device comprises an elongate rail having a plurality of spaced openings sized to receive the stub and having a length corresponding to the select thickness. A turned in base is for attachment to formwork prior to pouring of concrete to form the concrete slab. The pipe fitting stub is received in a select one of the rail openings so that the collar opening is spaced from the base a distance corresponding to the select thickness so that the collar opening is flush with the surface of the concrete slab.

An end cap for a profile rail includes a connector for connecting the end cap to the profile rail and a fastening leg, where the fastening leg defines an opening and where a fastening pin is guidable through the opening to mount the profile rail. The opening has a cross-sectional constriction and the fastening pin is holdable in the opening by the cross-sectional constriction.

A method of using a template assembly for locating and retaining a plurality of anchor bolts within a form during a concrete pour. The template assembly includes a rigid metal frame and plurality of anchor bolt retainers affixed to the frame, wherein each anchor bolt includes an anchor bolt engaging surface for locating an associated anchor bolt within predetermined tolerances. The frame can be further configured to provide access to at least 75% of the surface of the pour thereby allowing for finishing of the concrete. A plurality of legs can be connected to the frame for adjusting an elevation of the frame.

A panel attachment structure including a panel assembly having a channel member including a channel therein. The panel assembly further includes at least one reinforcing member directly or indirectly coupled to the channel member, and an insert assembly including an insert portion. The insert portion is configured to be closely slidably received in the channel member in an insertion direction, and the insert assembly is configured to be coupled to an underlying support structure.

The invention relates to a system for joining two components or for reinforcing a component, comprising a first and a second threaded sleeve which each comprise the following: an outer thread, with the aid of which the threaded sleeve can be screwed into the respective component and which is suitable to form a composite with the respective component, and a power drive, by which a torque for screwing the threaded sleeve into the respective component can be transmitted to the threaded sleeve. The system further comprises an elongate clamping element which is suitable to be guided through the second threaded sleeve and introduced into or guided through the first threaded sleeve, and which is suitable to axially clamp the first and the second threaded sleeve in such a manner that the first and the second threaded sleeve form opposed composite stresses in the respective component.

The present disclosure provides a template assembly for locating and retaining a plurality of anchor bolts within a form during a concrete pour. The template assembly includes a rigid metal frame and plurality of anchor bolt retainers affixed to the frame, wherein each anchor bolt includes an anchor bolt engaging surface for locating an associated anchor bolt within predetermined tolerances. The frame can be further configured to provide access to at least 75% of the surface of the pour thereby allowing for finishing of the concrete at an optimal time. A plurality of legs can be connected to the frame for adjusting an elevation of the frame.

A method is defined for attaching mounted parts on a mounting substrate, formed of concrete or masonry, having a group of anchors, wherein the following is true for the ratio VSd/NSd of the rated value for the transverse load VSd and of the rated value of the tensile load NSd of at least one anchor in the anchor group: VSd/NSd≥0.3, preferably VSd/NSd≥0.6 and particularly preferably VSd/NSd≥1.0, and wherein the characteristic resistances of these anchors to transverse loading VRk or to tensile loading NRk satisfy the following relationship: VRk/NRk≤1.1. The at least one anchor of the anchor group is inclined at an angle αAnker to the perpendicular to the surface of the mounting substrate in such a manner that the following is true: αAnker=k*¾*arctan (VSd/NSd) for NSd>0, and αAnker=k*67.5° for NSd=0, where: 0.8≤k≤1.34, providing that αAnker≤75°.

An anchor bolt alignment tool provides for accurate placement and alignment of an anchor bolt in a substrate in multiple axes and dimensions simultaneously. The anchor bolt alignment tool has a base that may be formed as a flat plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, with the bottom surface arranged for placement and alignment with a surface of a substrate. A lateral alignment guide is oriented orthogonal to the bottom surface in each of a vertical and a longitudinal axis of the base. A vertical alignment guide is oriented orthogonal to the top surface of the base in each of a vertical and a lateral axis of the base. An inboard edge of the vertical alignment guide and a notch in the base provide for alignment of an axial centerline of the anchor bolt at the desired lateral offset from the edge of the substrate.

A finishing tape is disclosed for use in positioning fasteners for securing building elements. The finishing tape further provides masking for immediate coating of the fastener or plug after installation. The finishing tape is formed from a flexible substrate having pressure-sensitive adhesive attached to a back side for adhesion to building construction materials and indicia imprinted on a top side. Apertures are equidistantly spaced along the length of the substrate with gun tip markings on each side of the apertures to provide a visual indication where to position the gun tip for inserting a screw or nail fastener. The indicia serve as visual templates for establishing proper location for fastener placement for attachment of a construction member, wherein said finishing tape provides proper and symmetrical fastener placement.

A bracket forms one or more U-channel for receiving a beam that supports a portion of a building. An adjustable structure for supporting a beam includes the bracket and a concrete footer or pier having an anchor bolt, wherein the anchor bolt has one end securely embedded within the concrete and threaded end extending upward from the concrete. A leveling nut is threaded onto the anchor bolt below a base plate of the bracket, a top nut is threaded onto the second end of the anchor bolt above the base plate, and a block is disposed between the concrete footer or pier and the base plate to support the weight of the beam. The adjustable structure enables a person to adjust the elevation of an identified portion of a building that is not level.
