Packing Pieces for Types A and B

These packing pieces are compatible with the Type A and Type B clamps and are used to increase
the clamping range to suit flange thicknesses. Types A and B are available with three different tail
lengths (short, medium or long) and the correct combination of packing pieces should be used.

DECKING FIXINGS

1) Depending on the type of connection and associated end plate use, the thickness may need to be modified to comply with accepted local design codes.

To calculate the bolt length, add up the total distance that the bolt will pass through, plus half of the bolt diameter.
Then round up the total to the nearest available bolt length. An example can be found on page 6.
