STAINLESS STEEL STRUCTURAL
BRACKETS CATALOGUE
The BOWMAC Stainless Steel range provides a system of timber fixing brackets
for use in highly corrosive or aesthetic environments. The Stainless Steel range
supplements the extensive Hot Dip Galvanised range of BOWMAC Brackets.
BOWMAC Stainless Steel Brackets are available from leading Builders Supply
Merchants throughout New Zealand.

2. GENERAL
PRODUCT RANGE This catalogue details the Stainless Steel range of BOWMAC products. Refer to separate
brochure for the Hot Dip Galvanised range of BOWMAC products.
STANDARDS Applicable timber standards are NZS 3603 and NZS 3604:2011 Section 4 Durability.
DESIGN LOADING These can be derived from the allowable bolt loads in timber, using the relevant design code
NZS 3603.
DURABILITY Due to the variations in end use and in particular the environments in which these products
could be used, we are unable to provide a specific durability statement.
In BRANZ opinion BDO 96/10 however, 304 Stainless Steel is not adversely affected by
tanalith treatment and performs considerably better than Hot Dip Galvanised Steel.
In situations where the product could collect wind blown salt deposit not regularly rain washed
away, the appearance of the product may be affected.
It is not recommended that Stainless Steel fixings be painted over as this may cause a tea
staining effect.
CUSTOM PRODUCTS BOWMAC also manufactures custom made products to suit specific requirements, using Hot
Dip Galvanised Steel and 304 Stainless Steel. A lead time by discussion is required to allow
for manufacture.
AVAILABILITY Stainless Steel BOWMAC Brackets can be purchased from Builders Supply Merchants or
indented through the merchant from our Auckland and Christchurch warehouse.
END USE The purchaser is responsible for checking the suitability of any component for its intended
use.

INTERNAL LOAD BEARING

ON CONCRETE FLOOR SLABS
7. FLOOR
Covers floor thickening and supporting stud requirements.
Covers floor slabs on buildings complying with NZS 3604:2011.
All concrete slabs to be constructed as per NZS 3604:2011.
Thickening requirements apply to reinforced floor slabs.
Provides solutions for stud requirements where point loads exceed 10 kN.
All slabs assumed to be supported on soils that have Ultimate Bearing Capacity
of 300 kPa (b=0.50).

Establishing Thickening & Stud Requirements
1. Establish the type of load applied to the floor as being either a UDL (uniformly distributed load) or a
concentrated load. Girder trusses will always give concentrated loads and a run of two or more
trusses with the same loads will give a UDL.
2. Establish the maximum load value via the MiTek 20/20 Truss Design Software by using the Truss
Bearings Exceeding 10 kN Report (see example below). Choose the maximum DOWN value in kN.
3. Go to the Slab Thickening & Stud Requirement Table on page 3 and choose from the appropriate
section; either no change for up to 10 kN, FP1 and FS1 for up to 20 kN, or FP2 and FS2 for up to 30 kN.
4. Choose from the selection of stud options (height, centres and grade).
5. Apply the relevant slab and stud requirements as specified and detailed on page 3.
6. Where the maximum positive bearing reaction exceeds 10 kN (uplift), refer to MiTek for Special
Design.

7. FLOOR
KRACK MATE
A preformed metal crack inducer for
all types of concrete surfaces is inserted
into wet concrete after screeding stage,
flush with surface level.


Krack Mate
Available in 3.0m lengths which can be bent and snapped to the required length on site, LUMBERLOK
to suit the width of concrete being laid.

Alternatively KRACK MATE lengths can be lapped against each other for continuous crack
indused locations over greater areas.
Installation
Once the concrete has been screeded and is still relatively wet, KRACK MATE can be installed
at predetermined locations by placing the product vertically into the concrete surface.
With a series of gentle push/pull movements, the product will slowly immerse itself into the
concrete just below, or at surface level.
7. FLOOR
Immersing KRACK MATE into Floating off for continuous

screeded surface surface finish
Advantages
Designed for on-ground slabs and can be butted up to any given edge ie. columns,
pilasters and kerbing.
Allows the concrete to crack along the KRACK MATE whilst it cures.
Profile makes KRACK MATE almost impossible to dislodge therefore surface can be
floated as normalto obtain a flat continuous surface.
KRACK MATE provides a positive alternative to existing methods and saw cut options.
KRACK MATE insures no cutting of mesh enabling the continuity of mesh and and rebar
to be utilised to their maximum strength.

Trusses should be inspected on arrival at site.
Any damaged trusses should be reported

Where it is anticipated that trusses will be

stored on site for an extended period of time
before use, adequate provision should be

of truss length made to protect the trusses against the effects
of weather. Protective covering should allow
free air circulation around trusses.
Trusses when stored on the job site should be

on timber billets clear of the ground and in flat
position to avoid distortion.
When lifting, care must be taken to avoid

damaging joints and timber. Spreader bars
with attachment to the panel points are
recommended where span exceeds 9000mm.
Never lift by the apex joint only.
The trusses may also be placed on the top

plates by pulling them up skids, spread at
3000mm, taking the same precaution as
described above. Ensure that the trusses are
not distorted or allowed to sag between
supports.
Spreader Bar
The recommended method of lifting trusses
will depend on a number of factors, including
truss length and shape.
In general, sling the truss from top chord panel

LUMBERLOK Concealed Purlin Cleats provide an
economical fixing for purlins to exposed rafters
or trusses, to resist wind uplift. They can also
be used in exposed to view situations, such as a
rafter to ridge beam or top plate situation.
Correct nailing is most important. See below.

Roof Bracing - Rules & Definitions

1. The bracing described in this brochure covers both framed roofs and fully trussed
roofs.
2. Roof planes less than 6m2 (e.g. dormers & porches) do not require bracing.
3. Roof braces can consist of either i) Roof Plane Brace or ii) Roof Space Brace or
combination of the two.
4. Roof braces are not required on roofs where sarking is installed as per NZS 3604:2011
Clause 10.4.4 or where a ceiling diaphragm is installed and is attached to the rafters.
5. Roof area is the actual plan area of the roof and includes overhangs.
6. A hip or valley rafter running continuously from ridge to top plate can be classed as one
roof plane brace.
7. A pair of crossed LUMBERLOK Strip Brace (preferred for ease of installation) can be
classed as one roof plane brace and shall be installed as detailed in this brochure.
8. There must be at least one roof plane brace in each roof plane. Each ridge line shall
have a minimum of two roof braces.
9. Every design effort should be made to distribute the roof braces as evenly as possible
over the entire roof area and run alternately in opposite directions.
