Securing Structures to Wall—Seismic Hazard* Designated Locations

When specified or required for the application (all seismic hazard areas with Ss in excess of 2.67g), each section must be laterally braced at the top (bracing supplied by others) and connected to the load-bearing path of the building system per detail supplied by engineer of record. Refer to the current International Building Code or NFPA 5000 for location specific values of Ss.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash
  • Turn off power supplying equipment before installing lateral bracing.
  • Bolts must not penetrate top plate by more than 0.50 in.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Remove the lifting angle and fasten each section to the lateral restraint system using the same attachment points used to secure the lifting angle. Re-use bolts [3/8 (.375 in.) by 7/8 (.875 in.) long #16 thread] and lock washer (.094 in. thick) supplied with the lifting angle or hardware supplied by others as appropriate. Pay particular attention to the limitation on the depth the bolt can penetrate below the surface of the top plate. The bolts must not penetrate the top plate of the enclosure by more than 0.50 in.

NOTE: On arc-rated MCCs, do not block roof flaps with lateral restraint components.

Attachment Locations for Top Lateral Bracing

NOTE: The dimensions shown are for locating top lateral bracing locations within individual MCC sections. Refer to factory supplied drawings to determine appropriate anchor locations for the top lateral brace support system.
