These systems have been crash tested in both strong and weak soil and have been judged to satisfy the requirements of 1994 AASHTO Standard Specification for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires and traffic signals. Testing was conducted in accordance with the required NCHRP Report 350. The PFP25-26 base posts may be driven or installed in preformed holes with back fill COMPONENTS ‘The Chicago Heights Steel Safety Splice System consists of three components: a base post (PFP25-26), a sign post (PFP25-26), and the splice hardware. The sign post and base post shall be of like weight per foot, as specified by the user. (PFP25-26). The sign post lengths shall be supplied in 12” increments beginning from 72" to 240" as required for the installation location. The splice hardware required is proprietary and consists of two %s" diameter x 2" long proprietary, grade 9, bolts and nuts. Two 1" diameter x %" long spacers shall be used per splice to stiffen the connection. Each spacer shall be drilled with a 7/16" diameter hole, traversing its entire length, along the center line of the spacer. The spacer shall be fabricated from hot rolled carbon steel bars conforming to AASHTO M183 (ASTM A-36) or M1021 steel. Splice hardware may be cadmium plated pursuant to ASTM A-165 or zinc plated to ASTM B-633. soil plate (PLSO3) is required for all soil conditions. INSTALLATION ‘The Chicago Heights Steel Safety Splice breakaway system requires a base post (Min of 48” for PFP25 and 54” for PFP26) with a PLSO3 soil plate bolted a minimum of 4" to a maximum of 8" below grade using %s" diameter bolts x 2%4" long grade 9 bolts and flange nuts. Base post can be installed flushed with grade or project no more than 4”. Soil plate can be installed on either side of base post with bolts being inserted from either side of the post. The base posts may be driven or installed in preformed holes with backfill. fray Waters [2/11/2013 Ee bios 2 CHICAGO HEIGHTS STEEL —o jafety Splice Breakaway System mt UNO leer 4 oF 8Bolts may be installed from either direction 48" PFP25 54" PFP26 ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° Detail A FRONT Splice Connection PARTS LIST TTEM [QTY] PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION i_[ 1 [Prp2s-26 3.0 or 4.0 Ib.

After all punching, drilling, stamping and weld is complete the soil plate may be zinc-coated according to AASHTO M111 (ASTM A123) or painted. Dimensional tolerances not shown or implied are intended to be those consistent with the proper functioning of the part, including its appearance and accepted manufacturing practices. INTENDED USE ‘The soil plate is required for the SSPOS Safety Splice System. The soil plate provides additional support in poor soil conditions. INSTALLATION The soil plate is attached to the post using 2, %s" diameter x 274" long grade 9 bolts and nuts. The top of the soil plate embedded depth is a min. 4” and max 8" below grade. The soil plate can be installed on either side of the post with the bolts and nuts going from either direction. pts _puzon_) €* CHICAGO HEIGHTS STEEL
