Stock Sizes:

• Due to varying project designs, a limited inventory of long pans is available. Please contact us for availability.

Material Specifications:

• 14 gauge hot rolled steel used to manufacture steel forms and end caps.

• Reinforced with angle iron or flat bar for added strength.

• End caps receive 2”x 2” angle welded inside to assist with stripping.

• Diaphragms are fabricated from 1”x1”x1/8” angle.

Fabrication Specifications:

• Pans are fabricated with a 90 degree bend at the bottom allowing for a flange with 3/16” mounting holes. Flange widths will vary depending upon the joist width and are typically ½ the joist width.

• Sides of long pans are fabricated with a 1:12 draft on each side and a 1 ½” radius at the top for easy stripping.

• End caps are fabricated with 2” flanges that are turned under the pan for added strength and easier stripping.

Installation Recommendations:

• Nail end caps to deck at established lines.

• Nail diaphragms to deck at 2’-0” on center.

• Install pans as shown on drawings and nail pans to deck using each nail hole. If nail holes are not available, drill 3/16” hole through flanges.

• Properly spray pans with a reactive form release agent according to manufactures recommendations.

Stripping Recommendations:

• Diaphragms will come out with the deck.

• Provide proper tables where necessary to allow for safe removal of pans and end caps and prevent damage to pans.

• Remove end caps first using a pry bar and the 2” x 2” angle welded to the end cap.

• Carefully loosen sides of pans from concrete and pull the forms down.

• Remove remaining concrete and spray with a form release agent.
