Installation Instructions
TIE MAX EMBED PLACEMENT
Field Placement
1. Determine the location of the TIE MAX Field bolt.
2. At the proper location, insert the TIE MAX Field bolt with its PVC pipe into the ground using a drive sleeve.
(1” X 12” Pipe) until the bottom of the threads are at the top of the slab elevation.
Important Note: Do not hammer top of bolt. It will not drive!
3. Make concrete pour.
Edge Placement
1. Determine the location of the TIE MAX Edge bolt and mark the top of the form board for wet setting or place the TIE MAX
bolt reusable anchor hanger prior to concrete pour.
x Corner placement: The TIE MAX embed shall be located 7 inches to 22 inches away from the corner of the
structure to allow clearance for framing members.
x Exterior walls: The TIE MAX embeds shall be located 2 inches from the edge of slab with spacing as required to
meet uplift values.
2. Position the TIE MAX embeds with the bottom of the threads at the top of slab. This insures the required 7-inches of
embedment.
3. Make concrete pour. (The TIE MAX Edge bolt may be wet set during the pour.) Insert the TIE MAX bolt to the bottom of
the threads with a 2-inch distance and consolidate the concrete.)
Retrofit
In retrofit situations after the concrete has been placed, use a 10-1/2 inch long 5/8-inch diameter TIE MAX STUD. Install the
TIE MAX STUD with POWERS POWER BOND epoxy adhesive following all manufacturers’ instructions. See detail
instructions on the following page.
TIE MAX THREADED ROD
1. With wall framing in place, secure proper TIE MAX square washer to the sole plate with a 5/8 TIE MAX hex nut.
2. Install a TIE MAX 5/8” to 1/2” reducing coupler to the end of the TIE MAX threaded rod to be connected to the TIE MAX
embed. Drill holes in the top plate or base plate if 2 or more stories and insert the rod into the top plate. Pull down on the rod
till the end of the rod and the TIE MAX embed butt together. Spin the coupler down onto embed. (Center a TIE MAX 5/8” to
5/8” coupler when using 5/8” rod.)
3. Select threaded rod by length, which will allow sufficient room for couplers to be placed above or below double top plates
or base plates. Butt the ends of the threaded rods together, center coupler over the rod ends.
TIE MAX TOP PLATE WASHER
1. Place TIE MAX steel plate washer on the threaded rod above the double top plate. See Table 3-A or 3-B of the TIE MAX
Quick Reference sheet.
2. Secure the washer with a TIE MAX hex nut.
3. Just prior to installing interior wall sheathing, Hand tighten nuts, then one turn with wrench per floor to secure washer and
tension rod. The TIE MAX system does not require a specific amount of torque.
TIE MAX is a Structural Tie Down System. All components must be of TIE MAX manufacture.
TIE MAX STUD
Retrofit Application
Use only approved epoxies supplied by Fastening Specialists, Inc.
TIE MAX STUD ANCHOR PLACEMENT
1. Determine the location of the TIE MAX STUD.
Refer to shop drawing for location and embedment depth.
2. Drill a 3/4-inch diameter by 7-inch deep (typical) hole in
the concrete.
a) Edge placement minimum of 2 inches from edge to
center of hole.
b) Field placement shall exceed 7 inches from edge to
center of hole.
3. Clean hole with compressed air or puffer to clear dust
and debris.
4. Brush hole with properly sized hole brush.
5. Clean hole with compressed air or puffer again.
6. Inject epoxy into hole, filling the hole 1/2 full starting from
the bottom.
7. Insert the TIE MAX STUD with a twisting motion (to insure full thread coverage) until stud hits the bottom of the hole.
Note: If epoxy does not appear at the top of the hole when the TIE MAX STUD is inserted, remove TIE MAX STUD,
apply additional epoxy to the hole, and reinsert TIE MAX STUD with a twisting motion.
8. Allow epoxy to set as per manufacturer’s instructions before applying any load.

Instrucciones para la Instalación
POSICIONAMIENTO DE LOS PERNOS TIE MAX
Posicionamiento del Perno Interior
1. Determine la localización de los Pernos Interiores.
2. En el lugar apropiado, inserte el Perno Interior TIE MAX con su tubo de PVC en la tierra usando una guía.
(TUBO 1” X 12”) hasta que toda la rosca este a nivel con la parte superior del cimiento.
Nota Importante: No martille el Perno. No va a ceder!
3. Verter el concreto.
Posicionamiento del Perno Exterior
1. Determine la posición del Perno Exterior TIE MAX y marque la superficie del cimiento aún mojado o ponga el sujetador
del Perno Tie Max antes de verter el concreto.
x Posicionamiento en las esquinas: El empotramiento de TIE MAX debe ser localizado de 7 a 22 pulgadas a partir
de la esquina para posibilitar espacio para la partes de madera.
x Paredes Exteriores: Los empotramientos de TIE MAX deben ser localizados a 2 pulgadas del borde del cimiento
para satisfacer los valores de levantamiento admisibles.
2. Haga el empotramiento de TIE MAX con la parte inferior de la rosca coincidente con la parte superior del concreto para
asegurar las 7 pulgadas requeridas para el empotramiento.
3. Vierta el concreto. (El perno Exterior TIE MAX puede ser colocado durante el vertimiento). Inserte el perno TIE MAX
hasta la parte inferior de la rosca con 2 pulgadas de separación y termine el vertimiento.
Reposicionamiento
En caso de reposicionamiento después que el concreto ha sido colocado, use una BARRA TIE MAX de 10-1/2 pulgadas de
largo y 5/8 pulgadas de diámetro, instálelo con pegamento adhesivo POWERS POWER BOND siguiendo todas las
instrucciones del fabricante. Vea los detalles en la próxima página.
VARILLA ROSCADA TIE MAX
1. Cuando la estructura de madera este en su lugar, asegure adecuadamente la arandela cuadrada a la placa inferior con
una tuerca hexagonal de 5/8” TIE MAX.
2. Instale un acople reductor de 5/8”-½” TIE MAX en un extremo de la varilla roscada de TIE MAX, el otro extremo del
reductor será acoplado al perno empotrado de TIE MAX. Taladre agujeros en la placa superior o en la placa base si son 2 o
mas pisos e inserte la varilla a través de la placa superior. Hale hacia abajo la varilla hasta que tope con el perno
empotrado de TIE MAX. Enrosque hacia abajo el acople. (Use un acople de 5/8”-5/8” si usa una varilla de 5/8” de diámetro)
3. Seleccione la varilla roscada de acuerdo con el largo suficiente para colocar los acoples arriba o abajo de las placas
superiores o inferiores. Haga topar los extremos de las varillas, centre el acople.
ARANDELA DE la PLACA SUPERIOR DE TIE MAX
1. Coloque la arandela de acero TIE MAX en la varilla roscada arriba de la placa superior. Vea la tabla 3-A o 3-B de la
página de Referencia Rápida TIE MAX.
2. Asegure la arandela con una tuerca hexagonal TIE MAX.
3. Apriete la tuerca para asegurar la arandela y la tensión de la varilla. El sistema TIE MAX no requiere una cantidad
específica de torque, la finalidad de TIE MAX es la resistencia al levantamiento, no la post tensión.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The TIE MAX and TIE MAX STUD are fabricated systems for anchoring roof and walls to foundations.
The TIE MAX cast in concrete and TIE MAX STUD epoxy set anchoring systems are used to anchor
wood stud walls to the foundation by using 5 8 ” anchor bolts, threaded rods, couplers and square
washers. Traditional metal framing anchors are required to anchor the roof framing members to the wall
framing. The TIE MAX anchoring system uses a 10 1 2 ” long cast in place anchor bolt with a preformed 2”
diameter head. The bottom of the threads shall be at the top of the slab to insure the minimum 7” of
embedment. A coupler attaches the threaded rod to the anchor bolts. The threaded rod extends through
the uppermost top plate and is fastened with a washer and a hex head nut. The TIE MAX STUD epoxy
anchoring system is identical to the TIE MAX system except the anchor bolt is installed into a predrilled
hole with gel epoxy. The specifications for the anchor bolts, threaded rods, couplers, square washers and
nuts are as follows:
Washer:

The TIE MAX anchor bolts and continuous rod tie-down
runs (CRTRs), which include TIE MAX threaded rods, TIE
MAX washers, TIE MAX hex nuts, and TIE MAX threaded
rod couplers, are used to resist wind uplift loads applied at
the top of wood light-frame walls. Each CRTR provides a
continuous load path from the top of the CRTR to a TIE
MAX anchor bolt, which transfers the wind uplift loads into
a concrete or masonry foundation.

Most Widely Accepted and Trusted
5.1 The
contribution of wood shrinkage, wood
deformation under load, and fastener slip, to the
overall deflection of the wall in which the CRTRs are
installed, must be analyzed by a registered design
professional.
5.2 The tabulated allowable loads noted in this report are
obtained from calculations on the individual
components making up the CRTR. Other variables
that may further limit capacities, such as anchorage
strength in tension or shear, and stresses within the
wood or steel members of the wall in which the CRTR
is installed, must be analyzed by the registered
design professional.
5.3 When using the basic load combinations in
accordance with IBC Section 1605.3.1, the tabulated
allowable loads for the CRTR must not be increased
for wind or seismic loading. When using the alternate
basic load combinations in IBC Section 1605.3.2 that
include wind or earthquake loads, the tabulated
ASD loads for the CRTR must not be increased by
33 1 /3 percent, nor shall the alternative basic load
combinations be reduced by a factor of 0.75.
5.4 The tabulated allowable CRTR tension (uplift) loads
and corresponding elongations are not intended to
represent the capacity or deflection of the framing
systems, or any other portion of the wall in which the
CRTR is installed.
5.5 Design of the framing systems is the responsibility of
the design professional and must be performed in
accordance with the applicable code, taking into
account all of the design considerations given in
Section 4.1 of this report.
5.6 The design of framing and other elements within
the load path is the responsibility of the design
professional, and must be performed in accordance
with the applicable code, considering loads,
displacements, shrinkage, etc.
5.7 The design of wall top plates receiving uplift load and
distributing it through the CRTR must take into
account both deflection and strength limit states,
including combined axial and flexural stress for cases
where the wood top plate(s) also acts as a drag strut
or collector, and must also take into account
geometric compatibility.
5.8 A positive method to resist torsional rotation and
cross-grain flexure of the top plates due to offsets
between the point of load application (e.g., hurricane
ties at the sides of the top plates) and load
resistance (e.g., anchors at the center of the top
plate), must be provided where such conditions exist;
and calculations in accordance with principles of
mechanics must be used to determine the demand on
connections used to resist top plate torsion.
5.9 The use of the CRTRs in contact with chemically
treated wood is subject to the approval of the code
official, since the effects of corrosion of metal in
contact with chemically treated wood, on the
structural performance of the components, are
outside the scope of the report.
5.1 O Exterior use applications, such as use that allows
exposure to moisture, are outside the scope of this
report.
5.11 Installation of the CRTRs must be limited to dry
interior locations.
5.12 No further increase in duration of load for wind
loading is allowed for the use of the CRTR.
5.13 Drawings and design details verifying compliance with
this report must be submitted to the code official for
approval. Drawings and calculations must be
prepared by a registered design professional when
required by the statutes of the jurisdiction in which the
project is to be constructed.
