VERTICAL FORMING SYSTEMS
Footing Plates:
Good forming practices require that a level footing be
used as a starting point for all forming applications.
Snap a chalk in back of the plywood thickness and nail
down a 2x4 plate.
Plywood Panel Erection:
Erect, plumb, nail to plate and temporary
brace the first sheet of plywood.
Erect additional sheets of plywood by nailing
them to the 2x4 plate and temporary wood
cleats at the top corners. Make sure the
joints are tight. If panels are to be stacked,
ensure that the panel tops are level.
Installation of Snapties and "A" Brackets:
Place the ends of the Snapties through the holes
in the plywood. The 4
3
/4" L&W Snaptie, Standard is
recommended for use with the Jahn "A" Brackets, 5/8" or
3/4" plywood and 2x4 wales.
Two workmen can install the snap ties with speed and
economy. One inserts the tie through the tie hole and
the other attached the "A" bracket.
