Kit code and rated capacity for the BLITZCLIP Seismic Wire Restraint System, as printed on the manufacturer's data sheets. Select the wire diameter, the kit wire length, the connection and the angle. Enter the restraint load to compare it with the rated capacity. The result is a printed capacity for one restraint component. It is not a seismic restraint design.

Basis and limits

  • Sources: Blitz Systems BLITZCLIP 2.0mm Seismic Wire Restraint System (FCS-BCSK20), 3.2mm Seismic Wire Restraint System (FCS-BCSK32) and Universal MEP Seismic Wire Restraint (FCS-BCUSK) data sheets. All values and product codes are as printed on those sheets.
  • Values are in kN under the term Rated Capacity, as printed. They are not converted to kg. The FCS-BCUSK tables are headed Safe Working Load over a column headed Rated Capacity kN. The listing uses rated capacity for all three connections.
  • The data sheets do not say whether the rated capacity is a working or an ultimate value. The kit sheets state that it includes a reduction factor and do not give the factor.
  • Angle: 30, 45 and 60 degrees are the only angles printed, so no other angle is offered. The data sheets do not say how the angle is measured. For the adaptors FCS-TSA-HD and FCS-TSA-M10-M12 one printed value covers the three angles.
  • The FCS-BCUSK values for 3.2mm wire are published as printed, including 4.73 kN at 45 degrees, which is higher than the values at 30 and 60 degrees. They are under query with the manufacturer.
  • The kit sheets show single and double restraint arrangements. They do not say which arrangement the rated capacity applies to. The value is shown once as printed and is not multiplied.
  • The connections are alternatives. Values from different data sheets are not combined into a governing value. The safe working load of the STUDBITE adaptors in kg, printed on another data sheet, is not used here.
  • The kit sheets state: Tested in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 171-2017 to comply with AS1170.4. The FCS-BCUSK sheet states: Designed, manufactured & tested in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS1170.0. The listing repeats these statements and makes no other claim of compliance.
  • This is not a seismic restraint design. Seismic demand, restraint layout and spacing, the fixing to the structure (the kit sheet calls for an approved seismic fixing), the threaded rod, the trapeze, the supported item and the structure are not checked.
  • The kit length sets the code only. No rated capacity is printed by length.
  • Values are not interpolated or extrapolated.
  • Preliminary selection only. Confirm the final design with Blitz Systems and the seismic designer.
