CONNECTION 1: Angle Cleat (Dble)

*Cleat is on both sides of beam for this connection

3 2 1

HOW TO SPECIFY Supporting Member = 1 Supported A = 0 Supported B = 2 Connection A = None Connection B = Angle Cleat (Dble) Bolting A = Snug Bolting B = Snug

CONNECTION 2: Angle Cleat (Sngl)

*Cleat is on only one side of beam for this connection

3 2 1

HOW TO SPECIFY Supporting Member = 1 Supported A = 0 Supported B = 2 Connection A = None Connection B = Angle Cleat (Sngl) Bolting A = Snug Bolting B = Snug

CONNECTION 3: Angle Seat (Bolted)

*Cleat is on only one side of beam for this connection

3 2 1

HOW TO SPECIFY Supporting Member = 1 Supported A = 0 Supported B = 2 Connection A = None Connection B = Angle Seat (Bolted) Bolting A = Snug Bolting B = Snug

CONNECTION 4: Angle Seat (Welded)

*Cleat is on only one side of beam for this connection

3 2 1

HOW TO SPECIFY Supporting Member = 1 Supported A = 0 Supported B = 2 Connection A = None Connection B = Angle Seat (Welded) Bolting A = Snug Bolting B = Snug
