GENERAL INFORMATION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Wood-Knocker II+ and Pan-Knocker II+ concrete inserts are installed onto forms used to support newly poured concrete ﬂoor slabs, roof slabs or walls. The concrete inserts are speciﬁcally designed to provide hanger attachments for mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) and ﬁre protection. When the forms are stripped, the color-coded ﬂange is visibly embedded in the concrete surface. The inserts allow the attachment of steel threaded rod or threaded bolts in sizes ranging from 1/4″
to 3/4″ in diameter. The sturdy base and rib design minimizes the chance of inserts accidentally being hit out of place after attachment to the forms. The impact plate offers resistance to rotation within the concrete as a steel threaded rod or threaded bolt is being turned during installation. A push-in thread version is also available which does not require turning the threaded rod or threaded bolt during installation which can be ideal for applications such as mounting prefabricated hardware and hanger assemblies.

GENERAL APPLICATIONS AND USES

Hanging Pipe and Sprinkler Systems
HVAC Ductwork and Strut Channels
Suspending Trapeze and Cable Trays
Cast-In Pre-installed Anchoring Points
Distribution Systems / Utility Lines
Conduit and Lighting Systems
Cracked and Uncracked Concrete
Seismic Qualiﬁcation (SDC A – F)

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Fast and simple to install, low installed cost
Sturdy base design resists inserts from being kicked over after placement
Color coded by size for simple identiﬁcation, can be further marked by trade and/or utility+ Inserts can be installed in form pours only 3.5″ thick; low proﬁle (LP) inserts can be installed in form pours only 2.5″ thick (see installation details)
Suitable for seismic and wind loading (see design information)
Multi thread inserts allow for multiple diameters using the same part
All sizes of multi thread inserts have performance data for tension and shear loading
Push-In thread version does not require turning threaded rod elements during installation

Tabular values are provided for illustration and are applicable for single anchors installed in normal-weight concrete with minimum slab thickness, ha = hmin, and with the following conditions:
- No edge distance influence (ca1 ≥ 1.5hef) and no side-face blowout in tension.
- No edge distance (ca1 ≥ 3hef) or corner distance influence (ca2 ≥ 1.5ca1) in shear.
alculations were performed following methodology in ACI 318-19 17.5.3, ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D. The load level corresponding to the failure mode listed [steel strength of insert (Nsa,insert, Vsa,insert), concrete breakout strength, or pryout strength] must be checked against the tabulated steel strength of the corresponding threaded rod type,(Nsa,rod, Vsa,rod), the lowest load level controls.
Strength reduction factors shall be taken from ACI 318-14 17.3.3 or ACI 318-11 D.4.3 for cast-in headed anchors. Condition B is assumed. Strength reduction factors for load combinations in accordance with ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Section 5.3 or ACI 318-11 Section 9.2 governed by steel strength of the insert are taken as 0.65 for tension and 0.60 for shear; values correspond to brittle steel elements.
Tabular values are permitted for static loads only, seismic loading is not considered with these tables.
For designs that include combined tension and shear, the interaction of tension and shear loads must be calculated in accordance with ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D.
Interpolation is not permitted to be used with the tabular values. For intermediate base material compressive strengths please see ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D and information contained in this product supplement. For other design conditions including seismic considerations please see ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D.

Tabular values are provided for illustration and are applicable for single anchors installed in normal-weight concrete with minimum slab thickness, ha = hmin, and with the following conditions:
- No edge distance influence (ca1 ≥ 1.5hef) and no side-face blowout in tension.
  No edge distance (ca1 ≥ 3hef) or corner distance influence (ca2 ≥ 1.5ca1) in shear.
Calculations were performed following methodology in ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D. The load level corresponding to the failure mode listed [steel strength of insert (Nsa,insert, Vsa,insert), concrete breakout strength, or pryout strength] must be checked against the tabulated steel strength of the corresponding threaded rod type, (Nsa,rod, Vsa,rod), the lowest load level controls.
Strength reduction factors shall be taken from ACI 318-19 17.5.3, ACI 318-14 17.3.3 or ACI 318-11 D.4.3 for cast-in headed anchors. Condition B is assumed. Strength reduction factors for load combinations in accordance with ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Section 5.3 or ACI 318-11 Section 9.2 governed by steel strength of the insert are taken as 0.65 for tension and 0.60 for shear; values correspond to brittle steel elements.
Tabular values are permitted for static loads only, seismic loading is not considered with these tables.
For designs that include combined tension and shear, the interaction of tension and shear loads must be calculated in accordance with ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D.
Interpolation is not permitted to be used with the tabular values. For intermediate base material compressive strengths please see ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D and information contained in this product supplement.
