Elevator Rail Support Wall, Drawing Notes

Elevator Rail Support Wall

Drawing Notes

1See Elevator Drawing for rail bracket spacing and pit depth.

2Wall lateral support spacing:

-for 2" x 4" studs, use 6' -10" (2090 mm) max.

-for 2" x 6" studs, use 13' -6" (4120 mm) max.

3Sheathing installation: install sheets vertically full width of shaft or min. centred on rail brackets.

4Connectors to resist horizontal load but allow vertical movement. For Wood, use 2" x ¼" cap screw lag bolts.

General Specifications
G1	The design and construction of all work is to conform to the local applicable building code.
G2	Read these drawings in conjunction with all related architectural, mechanical, electrical, and
	elevator drawings as well as any other contract documents.
G3	The wall drawings have been prepared using engineering principles and the design loads that are
	applied by the elevator rails to the wall. However, the details and member sizes and the
	attachments to the structure should not be construed as a complete design of the wall system.
	The contractor and/or the project engineer is responsible to evaluate the other loads that are
	applied to the wall from the floor or roof system and modify member sizes or connections as
	required by their analysis.
G4	Do not scale the drawings.
G5	See elevator shop drawings for service loads (including dynamic effects)
	which are:	- horizontal load parallel to the wall = 194 lb.
		- horizontal load perpendicular to the wall = 304 lb.
G6	Wood	SPF NO 1/2 Mix
	Concrete	3000 psi (20 Mpa) @ 28 days. If exposed use 5% to 7% air content.
	A. Bolts	ASTM A307
	Mortar	Type “S”
	Masonry
	Grout	2100 psi (14 Mpa) High Slump
	Block	2100 psi (14 Mpa) on net area
G7	Wall to be installed plumb and square within 1/8" (3mm) of top and bottom of shaft.
G8	Wall lateral support spacing (H) selected for maximum horizontal deflection of H/360 from rail
	loads.

Wood Construction

W1 Separate wood from concrete with waterproof barrier or use pressure treated wood. W2 Bridging Maximum Spacing: Load Bearing or Shear walls – 4' c/c

W3 Nail or screw sheathing at 6" c/c at edges and 12" c/c to other members. Use 2.5" Standard Ardox nails or 2" #12 Screws.

Masonry Construction

M1 All masonry construction to conform to applicable local standards

M2 Reinforce lintel blocks with 2-15m bottom bars unless noted.

M3 Provide continuous ladder type joint reinforcement at 16" (400) c/c.
