1. Channel trapeze support
Product code, dimensions and working load limit for Blitz Systems STUDBITE channel trapeze supports, as printed on the manufacturer's data sheet. Select the channel range, size and finish. Enter the load on the trapeze to compare it with the channel working load limit. The safe working load per pair of channel-to-stud adaptors is shown beside it for the selected adaptor type and rod size. The two values are not combined.
2. Purlin trapeze support kit
Kit code, max recommended load and deflection for the Blitz Systems Purlin Trapeze Support Kit, as printed on the manufacturer's data sheet. Select the kit range, the purlin centres and the trapeze width. Enter the load on the kit to compare it with the max recommended load. Values at 900 mm purlin centres are held.
3. Brackets, clamps and fixings
Listed as printed. The data sheets give no load data for these items.
Basis and limits
- Sources: Blitz Systems STUDBITE Trapeze Support System data sheet (v. 2024_07_22), STUDBITE Riser Bracket Sets data sheet and Purlin Trapeze Support Kit data sheet. All values and product codes are as printed on those sheets.
- Values keep the term and unit each sheet prints: working load limit (kg per trapeze) for channels, safe working load per pair for adaptors, max recommended load (kg) for purlin kits.
- The data sheets do not state the load pattern (point or distributed), the safety factor or a test standard for these values.
- The trapeze load check compares the load entered with the channel working load limit only. The adaptor safe working load is shown beside it and no governing value is taken. Whether a trapeze is limited by the lesser of the two has not been confirmed by the manufacturer.
- Threaded rod, anchors, the stud or structure, and the containment itself are not checked.
- The 3000 mm channel lengths are printed with N/A for working load limit and are reported as Not rated.
- FCS-TSCT1250-1.75 is printed as 144 kg, between 140 kg at 1200 and 129 kg at 1300. It is shown as printed and is under query with the manufacturer.
- Useable width with adaptors is as printed. For FCS-TS it is less than the channel length and for FCS-TSCT it is greater than the channel length and the stud centres. The data sheet does not define it.
- Purlin kit: the values printed for 900 mm purlin centres are held pending confirmation by the manufacturer and are not shown or used. Values at 1300 mm are printed identically for both kits.
- Only the printed sizes, purlin centres and trapeze widths are offered. Values are not interpolated or extrapolated.
- The data sheet notes that traditional slotted 41 x 41 and 41 x 21 channel can be used by inverting the adaptor. No load data is given for that arrangement.
- No load data is given for wall / column mount brackets, riser brackets, hold down clamps or basket tray clamps.
- Preliminary selection only. Confirm the final design with Blitz Systems.
