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.

Tie Down's ABS Shims/Wedges, measuring 4 in. x 6 in. x 1 in., are expertly crafted to deliver impeccable support and alignment in pier structures. These shims excel in filling gaps and securing piers between the pier plate and main beam, ensuring a solid and level foundation for your structure. Precision is paramount. Whether it's leveling your home or bridging gaps between the base of the main beam and the top of the pier cap, our ABS Shims/Wedges deliver the perfect solution. Installation is straightforward and hassle-free. Following the placement of an 8" x 8" x 16" concrete block atop pier footings, determine the gap size between the pier and beam. This measurement dictates the number and size of shims required (minimum of 2 inches), maintaining a clearance of less than 1 inch between pier top and beam bottom. Our shims can be double-stacked—2 inches on 2 inches or 1 inch on 2 inches—to adapt precisely to your needs. For double pier plate stacks, conveniently position two cap plates side by side. ABS Shims/Wedges must be used in pairs, ensuring a reliable and uniform support system for your pier structure. Fully approved for use by HUD 3285.312(3), attesting to their superior quality and adherence to industry standards, our ABS Shims/Wedges are thoughtfully crafted from recycled ABS materials, aligning with environmentally friendly construction choices.
