Product Description
The RICON S VS connector are ICC Approved pre-engineered post-to-beam connectors manufactured from mild steel with a welded collar bolt. They consist of two identical parts, and are suitable for uses in timber framing, mass, and heavy timber construction.
The RICON S VS series has been extensively tested for the North American Market with full scale fully loaded tests, fire resistance rating tests, and inter-story drift performances.
ICC-ESR approved, they are installed with the ASSY VG CSK screws which have also been awarded an ICC-ESR approval in the United States and the Canadian Construction Materials Centre Reports (CCMC) approval in Canada.
The structural screws are perpendicular to the plate, making simple installation possible. With its short neck, only 35mm (1 1/2″) long, the drop-in assembly is easier than similar connectors. RICON connectors can be installed fully concealed or visible. Suitable for timber framing, log home building, and mass/heavy timber construction.
