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 and a bracing element receiving member pivotedly mounted on the lateral end wall. The adapter plate defines a first flat portion having a centrally disposed fastener receiving aperture and a second flat portion vertically offset and extending parallel to the first portion, having a pair of spaced fastener receiving apertures therein axially aligned with the apertures in the first portion and vertically offset stops disposed between said portions. By selectively disposing either the first or second portions of the adapter plate over the flat plate portion of the attachment member and aligning either the aperture in the first portion of the adapter plate with the outer aperture in the attachment member or both apertures in the second portion of the adapter plate with the two apertures in the attachment member, the number of available effective fastener receiving apertures in the adapter bracket can be selectively increased from two to three or four, thereby increasing the strength of the securement to meet different seismic codes.
