Engineered for stability under seismic loads, this 48-inch sway brace kit reinforces 1-inch round posts and integrates seamlessly with 60-inch shelves to maintain rack alignment during lateral events. Installers will appreciate the chrome finish that resists corrosion and allows for field adjustments without requiring specialized coatings. Project teams receive essential documentation indicating that site approval and review by an engineer of record must occur before installation.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug equipment and clear area. Remove grease and debris from vents, ovens, and shelving with a degreaser and nylon scrub pad. Wipe food-contact surfaces using a mild sanitizer; rinse and air dry. Vacuum and brush condenser coils; check seals and fasteners. Dispose of waste per local rules. Clean daily in high-use zones, weekly for motors and coils, and document tasks to reduce fires, cut energy use, prevent contamination, and meet CSA inspections.#@@#Additional Info#@#Metro SA48BC seismic sway brace kit fits 1" round posts and spans 48" to reinforce 60" shelves; chrome hardware installs with qwikSLOT and is required for SAFP foot plates; weight 10.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Engineered for stability under seismic loads, this 48-inch sway brace kit reinforces 1-inch round posts and integrates seamlessly with 60-inch shelves to maintain rack alignment during lateral events.

#@@# Seismic Compatibility#@#
Designed for use with 1-inch round posts, the kit provides lateral restraint that minimizes rack movement during seismic activity. Contractors can pair the brace with qwikSLOT and SAFP seismic foot plates to meet specific code and project requirements effectively.
#@@# Shelf Integration#@#
Mounting at 48 inches complements 60-inch shelf configurations, preserving spacing and load functions under dynamic loads. Engineers can accurately predict the interaction between brace length and shelf span when modeling lateral response, ensuring optimal performance.
#@@# Foot Plate Interface#@#
The design accommodates SAFP seismic foot plates, making the brace essential when using those plates with qwikSLOT and optional for Super Erecta and Super Adjustable systems. Project teams can standardize foot plate interfaces to streamline procurement and enhance efficiency.
#@@# Material Finish#@#
Chrome plating provides a conductive surface that resists oxidation while enabling visual inspection for deformation. Maintenance staff can perform periodic checks without the need for special cleaners, ensuring longevity and reliability.
#@@# Load Considerations#@#
The kit weighs approximately 10.25 pounds, offering a robust mass that contributes to system stiffness without adding excessive weight to the shelving assembly. Specifiers can include the kit weight in overall load calculations for floor loading and transport, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
#@@#Delivery Details#@#
• Please ensure to handle the product with utmost care.
• Check if the product you have received has all the essential parts and accessories.
• Make sure to examine the product for damage before signing the delivery receipt.
• Contact customer service for delivery concerns.
• Delivery times may vary based on location.#@@#deliverynotes#@#NA#@@#Maintenance Guide#@#Inspect seismic sway braces monthly for tight fasteners and visible deformation. Lubricate pivot points with light machine oil and remove corrosion using a mild detergent and nylon brush. Verify compatibility with 1" round posts and confirm 48" length against installed 60" shelves. Tighten connections to specified torque and replace any bent components. Document inspections and secure site engineer approval before final installation.
