Abstract: A seismic adapter for attachment to a steel web joist. The joist includes a pair of angled elements which extend parallel to one another with a cord space therebetween. The adapter includes an anchor plate juxtaposed with the upper surface of the element pair and an engagement plate engaging the parallel edges of the legs of the element pair. A threaded stud attaches to the anchor plate and extends through the engagement plate. The extension of the stud provides for the attachment to a hanger adapter brought together by a nut on the stud. The engagement plate includes a flat anchor portion and upstanding engagement portions having distal edges with interlocking engagement profiles including a tongue and outwardly extending shoulders to receive the parallel edges of the angle element pair.

Abstract: An adjustable load bolt adapter bracket assembly for use with a sway brace in securing a bracing element between a fluid pipeline and a structure to anchor the pipeline to the structure and limit relative movement therebetween. The assembly comprises an attachment member and an adapter plate. The attachment member includes a flat plate portion having an upstanding lateral wall adjacent one end thereof, a pair of axially aligned fastener receiving apertures spaced from the other end thereof, a bracking element receiving member pivotedly mounted on the lateral end wall and a plurality of locking channels in the opposite sides and one end thereof. The adapter plate defines a pair of spaced fastener receiving apertures therein axially aligned therein and a locking tab extending from one side thereof and from one end thereof.
