Tube Cross-Hole Sockets• Electroplated or stainless steel

• Precision steel tube (S355)

• Rd thread

• The socket is anchored into the concrete unit using areinforcement bar threaded through the cross-hole.

• A pressed-plastic stopper prevents the penetration ofthe concrete from below into the thread.

• Sockets can be used in a wide range of applicationsdue to the flexible way in which the reinforcement canbe applied; pipes, walls, slabs

These tables are for these sockets to be used as lifting devices. They should be compared the loads calculated using themethod outlined in section 1 of this catalogue and include consideration of dynamic factors, formwork adhesion etc.

These tables show a typical situation and you should check your situation is within these parameters. If your situationfalls out of these parameters, please contact CFS for bespoke advice and calculations.

Where two or more sockets are in use, they should be spaced at a minimum of 2xCcr apart.

Minimum reinforcement of two layers of 131mm2 /m mesh.

Crosspin Socket Anchors• Zinc Plated or Stainless Steel Solid Rod and Crosspin

• M thread

• The socket is anchored into the concrete unit using acrosspin provided through the cross-hole.

• In stainless steel, this socket provides the highest corrosionresistance as there is protection by solid stainless steel

• Sockets used in axially require no further reinforcement

• These sockets may also be used as fixing sockets

Essential Steps:


Fixing – Check Fixing Load Capacity Table page 3-9

For most applications no additional reinforcement will be required. Enhanced capacities may be achieved by usingadditional reinforcement as guided by the capacity tables.

Where two or more sockets are in use, they should be spaced at a minimum of 2xC3 apart.

These tables are for these sockets to be used as lifting devices. They should be compared the loads calculated using themethod outlined in section 1 of this catalogue and include consideration of dynamic factors, formwork adhesion etc.

These tables show a typical situation and you should check your situation is within these parameters. If your situationfalls out of these parameters, please contact CFS for bespoke advice and calculations. If you wish to uses these socketsfor permanent fixing, please consult the table on page 3-9.

Lifting LoopsThe CFS lifting loop is designed for use with CFS threadedsocket systems. Loops are available from 12 to 52 mmsizes in both Rd & M thread types. The load capacity foreach application is to be taken from the correspondingtables. The CFS loops can be subjected to a diagonal

lift up to 45°. If a transverse loading is to be applied, arotating eye should be used.

Loops should be discarded immediately if a wire strandhas broken. Loops carry an individual number identifiableto a certificate. The loops also have a tag indicating theload group of the loop. The tag is colour coded showingwhich load category threaded anchor the loop should beused with. All tags are CE marked.

M and Rd Thread Compatibility

Rd thread loops should only be used in Rd sockets. M

thread loops can be used in either Rd or M thread socketswith no reduction in load capacity.

The lifting capacities of the loops exceed those of the sockets they fit, so please refer to the load capacity table for thesockets to make selections for your application.

Rotating EyesThe CFS Rotating Eye is used to transport precastelements with socket anchors. It is designed for inclinedlifting operations up to 90° and thus is used for tiltingand shear lifting operations. It is also our most durableoption for lifting operations.

The rotating eye is easy to attach or remove due to theforged hexagon shaped body of the swivel. There is also acrimp on the link to prevent it from kinking. Both externaland internal surfaces are protected against corrosion by atough galvanized coating. The link can swing more than180° and rotate 360° and it can rotate under load whichalso means that it is not possible to loosen the baseplateunder load.

Rotating eyes carry an individual number identifiable toa certificate. The eyes have a marking indicating the loadgroup of the loop. All eyes are CE marked.

Flat side for tightening by hand

IdentificationThe following identification information data is stencilledin every rotating eye (figure):

Use and Operation

The rotating eye is screwed into the lifting anchor. Insert

threaded bolt deep enough to achieve a close fit betweenthe concrete and the base plate. If the unit is lifted thewide base plate is supported by the concrete, and anundesirable bending of the threaded bolt is prevented.

For correct installation of the rotating eye it is essentialthat: The contact surface of the base plate is absolutely atright angles to the longitudinal axis of the lifting anchor.

If precast concrete units are being lifted with rotatingeyes, it is recommended to install the lifting anchorwith large plastic nailing plate. The rotating eye body istightened by hand against the concrete surface. Do not

use smaller recesses then the eye diameter.The rotating eye can turn in any direction against thebase plate thus ensuring the correct direction of theinclined force. The rotating eye is not to be used torotate precast elements.

Max.clearance between upper

and lowerpart >S<

Maintenance

Rotating eyes are filled with grease during productionwhen first used. The compact design preventspenetration of dirt. However should dirt have collected inthe interior of the rotating eye impairing an easy turning

operation, the turning mechanism can be oiled.

Attention

Before attaching put link in the correct position.
