8 - Options for mounting the rail brackets (M3-A)
Considerations:
•
How the rail brackets (M3-A) are attached to the rail wall depends on the construction
of the rail wall and is up to a structural engineer. Below are our recommendations based
on a typical installation.
o
Note: If you require large shims to make the rail brackets (M3-A) plumb, you will
need to increase the length of the hardware to ensure the strength of the
attachment is not lessened
o
Note: If your project requires “LULA” type adjustable rail brackets (M3-A), refer
to
option Y
for details on how this will a
ff
ect your installation.
•
The jack post and cylinder brackets should be shimmed so that the rail clips are in the
center of the slot on the mounting brackets. This will make sure the cylinder is plumb
and true. For all the other rail brackets, the play in the slots will allow you to make up for
minor fluctuations in the rail wall without shimming.
Options for fastening rail brackets (M3-A) to the rail wall and typical recommended methods
and hardware.
•
Wooden rail walls-
o
Wood lags: 5-inch-long 3/8
th
with 3/8
th
washers
•
Filled block and concrete rail walls-
o
Wedge anchors: 5-inch-long 3/8
th
wedge anchors with 3/8
th
hardware
•
Hollow block walls-
o
We do not recommend hollow block walls.
o
Consult the specifications of your structural engineer
Other options
•
Though bolting can be used in some cases, consult the building engineer for hardware
specifications.
•
Unistrut concrete inserts (M3-D) (available from Cambridge Elevating) with strut nuts
and bolts (M3-H) :
½
inch strut nuts
½
-inch -13 x 1-3/4-inch bolts and washers
•
For a structural steel hoistway, the rail brackets (M3-A) can be welded or bolted in
place. Consult the building engineer for specifications.
