CFS high quality inserts are designed to provide flexible ‘T’-bolts can be placed in the channels easily and moved to
fixing points for concrete structures. Channels are ideal the desired position. Subsequent removal of components

CFS channels can be supplied with either of the above anchor configurations. The load capacity is identical. Standard
anchor centres on long lengths of channel are 250 mm. Other centres can be supplied on request. Special anchor types
can be provided to suit specific site requirements.

Cold Rolled or Hot Rolled

In most circumstances, cold rolled sections provide the appropriate solution. Where vibration is an issue or in safety-
critical applications, hot rolled channels should be considered. If in doubt, seek advice.

Dimensioning and design calculations
The design of the products with a European Technical Approval is based on the standard CEN/TS 1992-4. We provide PEC
Rail software to allow you to optimize product selection, which is available on our website www.cfs-fixings.com

This table may be used in simple cases. The values are for tension only, shear only, or compare resultant forces of a
tension and shear components with the shear capacities. In cases where there is a longitudinal force along the length
of the channel, please see our nibbed bolt and toothed channel products.
These values are ultimate capacities and should be compared with the factored design loads.
PEC Rail software is available on our website www.cfs-fixings.com that would be useful for complex cases, with
tensile and shear forces together, with close edge distances, different slab thickness or different concrete strength.
CFS will provide technical assistance for any problems you have, so if in doubt, ask for help.

Where forces exist along the length of the channel, there
are two alternative solutions, ribbed T-Bolts alongside our
hot-rolled channels, or toothed channels. If in doubt, please
send your conditions to CFS for advice.

CFS Flexi Channels are ideally suited for the quick, reliable
and cost efficient fixing of different construction elements to
metal deck floors.
The insert can be adjusted in height to suit the varying floor
profiles and fabricated ski assemblies are simple to fit to the
base of the adjustable feet.

 CFS Captive Fixing Nuts
The Economic Fix to Channel Inserts
The main benefits are:
• Channels are supplied ready for casting in complete
with the channel nuts.
• Very quick to install – no down time looking for
seperate T-Bolts.
• Very economical particularly for larger diameters and
longer projections.

All load bearing are calculated as elastic-plastic values according to DIN 18800; these are approximate values and can be
used for EC3.
Partial safey coefficient gamma f=1.4, deflection =max l/150. Calculate the design values as FR,d=1.4xF
