HP238BML Bracket Specifications and Capacities
when used with the HP237 Helical Pile System
Bracket:
Weldment manufactured from
3/8
” and 1”
ASTM A36 plate.
Integrated External Sleeve:
Ø
2.875” x 0.203” wall x 15” long
ASTM A500 Grade B or C
Yield strength = 60 ksi (min)
Tensile strength = 70 ksi (min)
Bracket Hardware:

” x 6” long lifting bolt
Grade 5, tensile strength = 120 ksi (min)
Available electrozinc plated per ASTM B633
or hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A153
Bracket Finish:
Available plain or hot-dip galvanized

(1)
Corroded capacities include a 50-year scheduled sacrificial loss in thickness per ICC-ES AC358.
(2)
Hot-dip galvanized coating in accordance with ASTM A123.
(3)
Brackets shall be used for support of structures that are considered to be fixed from translation. Structures that are not fixed from translation
shall be braced in some manner prior to installing retrofit brackets systems.
(4)
Allowable capacities consider continuous lateral soil confinement in soils with SPT blow counts ≥ 4. Piles with exposed unbraced lengths or piles
placed in weaker or fluid soils should be evaluated on a case by case basis by the project engineer.
(5)
Concrete bearing assumes a minimum compressive strength (f’c) of 2,500 psi. Local concrete bending and other local design checks should
be evaluated on a case by case basis by the project engineer.
(6)
Listed allowable capacities are for the specific shaft/bracket combination shown. System capacity should also not exceed the installed
torque-correlated soil capacity (See Shaft Specifications and Capacities).
