NOTES: PowerBox8 Lateral/Uplift – 16 and 20 Gauge
Miami/Dade - 3000psi
- PRODUCT NAMEPREFORMED POWERS STEEL LINTEL SHALL BE GALVANIZED COIL STEEL AS MANUFACTURED BY POWERS STEEL AND WIRE PRODUCTS, INC. STEEL GRADE SHALL BE ASTM A570 GRADE C (FY = 40 ksi).NOTE: DEFORMATIONS DO NOT EFFECT STRUCTURAL CAPACITY.
FOR SPANS LESS THAN 16'-0" BOX LINTELS TO BE 20 GA.
- SHORE LINTELS AS REQUIRED TO COMPENSATE FOR DEAD LOAD DEFLECTION ON NON-CURED MASONRY GROUT. ALL LINTELS GREATER THAN 18'-0" ARE BUILT WITH 1/2" CAMBER.
- LINTEL TO BE USED WITH CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS HAVING MINIMUM f’m AS SHOWN.
- STEEL SURFACES IN CONTACT WITH GROUT AND/OR MORTAR SHALL BE UNPAINTED AND FREE OF MATERIAL THAT MIGHT INHIBIT BOND.
- DESIGN BEARING OF POWERS STEEL LINTELS IS 8" FOR ALL LINTELS.
- f’m = 1500 psi. MASONRY UNITS SHALL CONFORM TO ASTM C90, GRADE N.
- GROUT = 3,000 psi. SLUMP RANGE: 8" TO 11". ROD OR VIBRATE GROUT ADEQUATELY TO ENSURE CONSOLIDATION OF GROUT (NO AIR POCKETS). GROUT SHALL COMPLY WITH ASTM C476 AND BE EITHER COARSE OR FINE GROUT.
- MORTAR: TYPE “S” OR TYPE “M” 1800 psi.
- TOP REINFORCING OR TOP OF WALL REINFORCING, IS REQUIRED BY CODES TO PROVIDE A CONTINUOUS TIE AROUND A STRUCTURE AND TO PROVIDE FOR UPLIFT RESISTANCE AT LINTELS.
- ATTACHMENTS TO TOP OF WALL PER ARCHITECTURAL AND/OR ENGINEERING DRAWINGS.
- LIMITATIONS:THE LINTELS SHALL NOT BE USED IN A FIRE RESISTANCE RATED ASSEMBLY UNLESS A TEST REPORT DOCUMENTING FIRE RESISTANCE IS SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.A PROPER BARRIER IS REQUIRED WHEN USING CORROSIVE LUMBER PRODUCTS IN CONTACT WITH THE STEEL LINTELS. A PROPER BARRIER WOULD BE A POLYETHYLENE BARRIER WITH A 10 MIL THICKNESS OR TO MAINTAIN A MIN. 1/4" SPACING BETWEEN THE CORROSIVE LUMBER AND STEEL LINTEL.
LOAD TABLE (PSbox8MD-II) CAN BE USED IN THE HVHZ IN MIAMI OR BROWARD COUNTIES.
- ALLOWABLE LOADS SHOWN IN THE TABLES FOR UPLIFT AND LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY INCLUDE A 1/3 INCREASE FOR WIND OR SEISMIC LOADING WITH NO FURTHER INCREASES ALLOWED. TABLE VALUES SHALL BE USED WITH ALTERNATE ALLOWABLE STRESS COMBINATIONS WITH A W OF 1.3. OTHERWISE REDUCE TABLE VALUES FOR ALLOWABLE STRESS COMBINATIONS BY 1/3. IF COMBINED LOADING CONDITIONS ARE APPLIED TO THE LINTELS FOR SIMULTANEOUS LOADING DIRECTIONS, THE ALLOWABLE LOADS SHOWN IN THE TABLES MUST BE ADJUSTED USING A UNITY EQUATION.
- ALL LOADS SHOWN IN TABLES ARE SUPERIMPOSED LOADS. TABLES ARE DATED 1/2021 AND CLEARLY INDICATE SUPERIMPOSED LOADS.
- #5 REINFORCING BAR (GRADE 40) IS TO SET APPROX. 1-1/2" FROM TOP OF ALL LINTEL DESIGNS AND IN SOME CASES THE BOTTOM OF LINTEL AS SHOWN ON LOAD TABLES. TOP HORIZONTAL REINFORCEMENT IS TO BE A CONTINUOUS TIE AS NOTED IN NOTE #9. IN THE CASE THAT THE LINTEL IS NOT WITHIN A COMPOSITE BOND BEAM SYSTEM, TOP HORIZONTAL REINFORCEMENT IS TO EXTEND 2'-0" PAST INSIDE OF JAMBS.

- INSTALLATION:POWERS LINTELS ARE TO BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARD CONSTRUCTIONS PRACTICES, SET TO PROPER LINE AND LEVEL, PLUMB AND TRUE, AND IN CORRECT RELATION TO OTHER WORK.LINTELS LOADED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH VERTICAL (GRAVITY OR UPLIFT) AND HORIZONTAL (LATERAL) LOADS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR THE COMBINED LOADING WITH THE FOLLOWING EQUATION: APPLIED VERTICAL LOAD APPLIED HORIZONTAL LOAD
---------------------------- + -------------------------- ≤ 1.0
SAFE VERTICAL LOAD SAFE HORIZONTAL LOAD
- FOR COMPOSITE LINTEL HEIGHTS NOT SHOWN, USE SAFE LOAD FROM NEXT LOWER HEIGHT SHOWN.
- FOR LINTEL LENGTHS NOT SHOWN, USE SAFE LOADS FROM LONGEST LENGTH SHOWN.
- SAFE LOADS ARE SUMPERIMPOSED ALLOWABLE LOADS.
