Coil InsertsExposed Aggregate DetailsExposed Aggregate Face DownFor exposed aggregate panels cast face down, theheight of the coil insert should be 3/8” less than thestructural panel thickness. If inserts are ordered foroverall panel thickness, they will be too high whenplaced on aggregate.OverallPanelThickness3/8” NormalSetbackProperlytie insertto reinforcingExposed AggregateStructuralPanelThicknessLifting SystemsCoil InsertsExposed Aggregate Face UpFor exposed aggregate panels cast face up, the heightof the coil insert should be the same as the structuralpanel thickness and not protrude up into the exposedaggregate.OverallPanelThicknessProperlytie insertto reinforcingExposed AggregateStructuralPanelThicknessLifting Exposed Aggregate Face UpWhen lifting exposed aggregate panels cast face up, ifaggregate is carefully tamped and leveled during aggregateplacing, it may not be necessary to place a groutor bearing pad under lifting plate. If aggregate surface isuneven, a plywood bearing pad is recommended underthe lifting plate.Grout orBearing PadWhen used with large exposed aggregate face up panels,a grout pad is required to provide a bearing surfacefor the plate. Longer length bolts will be required forthese panels. See page 62 and 63 and the illustrationbelow for determining overall length of required bolts.PolyethyleneSheetGrout PadExposedAggregateSafety InformationCoil BoltDiameterMinimumCoil Penetration3/4” 2-1/4”1” 2-1/2”1-1/4” 2-1/2”1-1/2” 3”Danger!
