US 2020/0346323 A1 · SEISMIC SWAY BRACE FITTING

Abstract

A seismic sway brace fitting for a seismic brace includes a first jaw defining a threaded opening configured to receive a fastener to secure the seismic sway brace fitting to the seismic brace, and a second jaw. A pin connects the first and second jaws to one another. The first and second jaws define a space configured to receive an end portion of the seismic brace. The threaded opening is aligned with the space such that the fastener extends into the space to engage the end portion of the seismic brace when the fastener is received in the threaded opening to secure the seismic brace to the sway brace fitting. The first jaw includes at least one brace bearing surface configured to engage an end of the seismic brace to inhibit the rotation of the first jaw relative to the second jaw.
