Bumperite Waterguards may be installed to a steel bent plate using a welded steel anchor. Here’s how:

1. Determine spacing requirement to ensure safe scaffold erection.*
2. Measure distance between slab edge bent plate and outer face of stud framing.
3. Cut the anchor strut to length as to flush out with face of stud framing.
4. Align the anchor strut with the bent plate and stud framing (true, square, and plumb) per detail.
5. Weld anchor strut to building bent plate per welding detail shown.
6. The use of a certified welder and E7018 rod or equivalent is recommended.

*Spacing requirements for application should be determined by a competent scaffold erector or structural engineer per building and safety codes prior to installation. The temporary disconnection and reconnection of this product at erected scaffold should only be performed one connection at a time and only after it is determined safe to do so. The final determination of safety is the sole responsibility of the end user and should be determined by a competent and qualified person. Follow all OSHA, Federal, State, and Local requirements to ensure scaffold safety.

Bumperite Waterguards may be installed to wood framing. Follow these instructions:

1. Determine spacing requirement to ensure safe scaffold erection.*
2. Review screw matrix provided to determine screw size and quantity required for safe installation.
3. Install BUMPERITE anchor plate where suitable framing and/or backing occurs to ensure sufficient strength required to carry intended scaffold load.
4. Apply compatible sealant between BUMPERITE anchor plate and building papers to ensure seal at screws.
5. Ensure complete screw embedment at pre-drilled holes in anchor plate.

Here is the procedure for installing Bumperite Waterguards to light gauge framing:

1. Determine spacing requirement to ensure safe scaffold erection.*
2. Review backing plate requirements.
3. Install BUMPERITE anchor plate over 12 gage backing plate per diagram to ensure sufficient strength required to carry intended scaffold load.
4. Apply compatible sealant between BUMPERITE anchor plate and building papers to ensure seal at screws.
5. Ensure complete screw embedment at pre-drilled holes in anchor plate.

To ensure safety, use only components manufactured by Bumperite Waterguards, LLC at scaffold attachment.

An optional way to install BUMPERITE is to use the Quick-Tab Attachment:

• The specially designed Quick-Tab is a scaffold erector’s dream.
• Fast and easy installation with no hassle.
• The Quick-Tab is a temporary attachment to the building slab edge during scaffold erection prior to exterior wall framing and final welded attachment of BUMPERITE WATERGUARD.
• Available upon request. Contact the BUMPERITE sales office now for more details about the Quick-Tab Attachment.
• See engineered detail.
• WARNING: The Quick-Tab attachment is not to be used at tarped or enclosed scaffolds.

This is how you install BUMPERITE to concrete:

1. Determine BUMPERITE spacing requirement and concrete psi values suitable for safe scaffold erection.
2. Install BUMPERITE anchor plate at concrete slab edge with a minimum of two concrete anchor bolts, see engineered detail.
3. Install concrete anchors per manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
4. Ensure complete anchor bolt embedment for maximum strength.
5. See engineered detail.
