Why don't you just ring Russell at Leaches and ask him to send you the data sheet.

Or is that too easy?

Well Phillip I would have talked to Russell, trouble is, in true scaffolders form he goes home at 4.30 so I couldn't. As I have just brought 50 of them and they turned up without any kind of data sheets I thought I'd ask my fellow forum members as I'm using them tomorrow. How's that, easy enough ?

How can you use them if you cannot prove or determine their suitability for the job?

That's why I'm after a spec sheet Phil, seems like they don't deliver one with their product although they insist they are what's needed for what I want.

What does your design state?

It doesn't state anything as I haven't got one. I hoping to work to the manufacturers specifications, however they didn't send them so I'm none the wiser

Well you're obviously working to TG20:08, then.

Whatever the tie-loads state in TG20, then test all of the ties as per TG4:11.

The double tie bars are used for fixing handrail post to, the single ones are for ties. I want to know what vertical load they take, ie do I need alloy tube.

No.

A single t-bar fixed with 2No APT Thunderbolts is worth 20kN in shear (SWL)

That was like pulling teethe, thanks

No dangeruss pulling teeth is a mere 5kn thats on a healthy adult who brushes twice a day.
Can be even less depending on the person and age etc.
