The Type AF girder clamp is used to achieve a fast steelwork fixing connection where high load capacities are present in either tensile, frictional or combined load directions. It has a recessed top to hold the bolt head captive while the nut and washer are tightened down using only one tool, alternatively use a Type AFW washer to convert the recess to a flat top. The skirt on the underside of the clamp abuts the edge of the beam flange and prevents the clamp rotating during installation. Manufactured from SG iron with a hot dip galvanised finish to provide high performance and anti-corrosion protection.
