2) Make sure you alternate starting with a Small
Hog Leg
®
Extension (2-3/8” OD) or a Large
Hog Leg
® Extension
(2-7/8” OD) at every other brace. This will keep the amount
of
Extensions used equal, maximizing the amount of braces
you
will get from each
Hog Leg
® Wall Brace Kit.
3) Continue adding
Hog Leg
® Extensions as shown in
Detail
B
until the desired length is obtained. To locate where to
pour
the deadman for the base of the
Hog Leg
®, take the
height
of the brace installation and multiply by 0.75.
Example:
Brace Height of 16 feet x 0.75 = Brace Run of 12
feet from
the wall.
CAUTION:
Keep
installation as close to the
design
guidelines shown in this manual as possible. If the
brace
is installed at
a steeper
angle
or beyond 90
°
perpendicular
to the wall,
the holding power of the brace will be
reduced.
4) Secure the Floor Bracket with anchors that meet all
applicable standards and regulations as shown in
Detail C
.
Kicker Installation:
For extrem
e wind speeds (greater th
40
MPH) or requirements that exceed Standard Practice for
Bracing Masonry Walls Under Construction a kicker is
required , on brace lengths 22’-11” or longer. For Brace
Lengths longer than 26’-3” a Kicker is required for all
circumstances. For extreme wind speeds (greater than 40
MPH) or requirements that exceed Standard Practice for
Bracing Masonry Walls Under Construction a Kicker and
Guide Wires are required, on brace lengths 26’-3”. For Brace
Lengths longer than 30’-5” a Kicker and Guide Wires are
required for all circumstances.
The Kicker should be installed
at the midpoint of the
Hog Leg
® Wall Brace. The Kicker
then extends downward at a 90° angle from the
Hog Leg
®
Wall Brace and mounts to the wall. To determine wall height
to install kicker, refer to page
10
of this manual. For Guide
Wire installation, refer to page 1
1
of this manual.
1) Install the Kicker Adjustment Pipe to the
Hog Leg
® by
inserting the Hitch Pin through the
Hog Leg®
Extension
and insert Safety Clip as shown in
Detail D
.
2) Add
Hog Leg
® Extensions as required to reach the
Wall Bracket.
Removal of Hog Leg® Bracing
To comply with Standard Practice for Bracing Masonry
Walls Under Construction, the
Hog Leg®
Bracing System
must not be removed until the wall is permanently supported.
You may refer to this standard in Chapter 3 Section 3.5 of
the Standard Practice for Bracing Masonry Walls Under
Construction manual.
