Which Fasteners Have Miami-Dade Approvals?
Much like the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety’s LARRs, Miami-Dade County approves construction products, including fasteners, for use on buildings in both Miami-Dade County and throughout the country. Whereas approvals in Los Angeles are mainly judged on their ability to withstand seismic loads (think earthquakes), Miami-Dade approvals are judged on their ability to withstand hurricane-like conditions.
The list of fasteners with Miami-Dade approvals is smaller than the list with LARRs or ICC-ES reports, but important nonetheless. If your project requires products to have Miami-Dade-approved fasteners, the following list will be of great assistance.
Hilti’s Kwik-Con II+ and Kwik Con+ Concrete and Masonry Screw Anchors
Elco’s 1/4" Crete-Flex SS4 Concrete and Masonry Anchors, Aggre-Gator 300 Series Stainless Steel Concrete and Masonry Anchor and Ultracon SS4 410 Series Stainless Steel Concrete & Masonry Screw Anchors
