Dayton B16 Coil Loop Insert | 3/4" x 6" | T304 Stainless Steel (1ea)

Category: Accessories | Wall Forming Accessories

Manufacturer: Dayton Superior

Product Code: B16-34x6-T304

Product Overview

The Dayton B16 Straight Coil Loop Insert is an industry-standard, highly efficient solution designed for the safe lifting, handling, and anchoring of precast concrete elements. Featuring a simple yet robust single-loop design, this insert offers excellent resistance to tension and shear loads.

This specific variant is manufactured from premium T304 Stainless Steel (SS), providing superior corrosion protection. It is the ideal choice for architectural concrete projects, marine environments, and permanent structural connections where rust-staining and long-term degradation must be prevented.

Key Features & Benefits

• Premium T304 Stainless Steel Construction: Offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and environmental weathering. Prevents unsightly rust staining on finished concrete surfaces.
• High-Efficiency Design: Simplifies the lifting and handling of precast panels, pipes, and beams while ensuring maximum load distribution.
• Coil Thread Compatibility: Designed for use with standard 3/4" Dayton Superior coil bolts or coil rods, allowing for fast, easy thread engagement and stripping.
• Versatile Wall Forming: Commonly utilized as an anchor for securing wall formwork, temporary braces, and alignment systems.
• Reliable Safety Margin: Engineered to meet strict industrial safety factors for lifting and structural anchoring (typically a 4:1 safety factor for lifting and 2:1 for forming, depending on concrete strength).

Applications

• Precast Concrete Plants: Ideal for lifting, stripping, and transporting wall panels, utility vaults, and concrete barriers.
• Wall Forming & Tilt-Up Construction: Acts as a reliable anchorage point for heavy-duty wall forms and strongback bracing.
• Corrosive & Coastal Environments: Perfect for infrastructure, wastewater treatment plants, marine seawalls, and highway projects exposed to deicing salts or salt spray.
• Architectural Concrete: Best used when high-aesthetic, exposed concrete finishes require non-rusting internal hardware.

Installation & Safety Guidelines

1. Setback Requirements: To prevent damage to the insert and ensure maximum capacity, the insert should be set back from the concrete surface using a matching plastic nail-on plug or setting plug.
2. Minimum Thread Engagement: Always ensure that the coil bolt is threaded fully into the coil insert. The minimum bolt penetration must equal the bolt diameter (3/4") plus any setback.
3. Concrete Strength: The safe working load of the B16 insert is highly dependent on concrete compressive strength (PSI) at the time of initial loading, edge distance, and spacing. Consult the Dayton Superior technical data sheets for specific load charts.
4. Custom Options Available: For applications requiring heavy-duty performance, Dayton B16 inserts can be custom ordered with larger wire diameters, double-loop configurations, or extended loop lengths.
