ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-1729 Reissued October 2016 This report is subject to renewal October 2018. www.icc-es.org (800) 423-6587 (562) 699-0543 A Subsidiary of the International Code Council DIVISION: 05 00 00 METALS Section: 05 50 00 Metal Fabrications REPORT HOLDER: QUALITY WAY PRODUCTS, LLC 407 HADLEY STREET HOLLY, MICHIGAN 48442 (248) 634-2401 qualityway4000@yahoo.com EVALUATION SUBJECT: QWIK-POST AND QWIK-ADJUST SUPPORT COLUMNS 1.0 EVALUATION SCOPE Compliance with the following codes: 2012, 2009 and 2006 International Building Code (IBC) 2012, 2009 and 2006 International Residential Code (IRC) Property evaluated: Structural 2.0 USES The Qwik-Post and Qwik-Adjust support columns are used to transfer axial compressive loads from wood or steel beams to concrete footings. They may be used under the IRC when an engineered design is prepared in accordance with IRC Section R301.1.3. 3.0 DESCRIPTION 3.1 Qwik-Post: The Qwik-Post columns are assemblies comprised of a round steel tube with plates welded to both ends. The steel tube conforms to ASTM A500, Grade B. The tubes are coated inside and out with paint. See Table 1 for tube dimensions. The steel plates conform to ASTM A36 and are available in several different sizes and configurations. Qwik-Post columns have been evaluated in lengths ranging from 1 foot (305 mm) to 12 feet (3660 mm). 3.2 Qwik-Adjust: The Qwik-Adjust columns are assemblies comprised of a round steel tube with a plate welded to one end and an adjustable screw unit welded to the other end. The steel tube conforms to ASTM A500, Grade B. The tubes are coated inside and out with paint. See Table 1 for tube dimensions. The adjustable screw unit is comprised of a collar, screw and screw plate. Both the collar and screw are fabricated from steel bars complying with SAE 1215. The screw has a diameter of 1 1 / 4 inches (32 mm) and a length of nominal length of 6 1 / 2 inches (165 mm). The steel used for the screw plates conforms to ASTM A36. Qwik-Adjust columns have been evaluated in nominal lengths up to 12 feet (3660 mm), and can be adjusted up to 4 inches in length. 4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION 4.1 : loads determined in accordance with IBC Section 1605.3 [for allowable stress design (ASD)] must not exceed the allowable loads given in Table 2 or Table 3, as applicable. loads determined in accordance with IBC Section 1605.2 [for load and resistance factor design (] must not exceed the design strengths given in Table 2 or Table 3, as applicable. The capacity of the end plates must be calculated in accordance with applicable code requirements for the steel, concrete or wood, to determine whether or not the supplied end plate thickness is adequate for the applied load interface (wood beams, steel beams or concrete). 4.2 Installation: Installation of the Qwik-Post and Qwik-Adjust columns must comply with this report, the report holder s published installation instructions and the approved plans. The report holder s published installation instructions and the approved plans must be available at the jobsite at all times during installation. The columns must be supported on code-complying foundations capable of supporting the imposed load. The columns must be placed vertically in the desired position under the beam. The Qwik-Adjust columns may be installed with the adjustable screw unit at either the top or bottom of the column. The columns must be anchored to the foundation in accordance with the approved plans. The Qwik-Post columns must be shimmed and the Qwik-Adjust columns must be adjusted to ensure full bearing of the beam on the cap plate. Maximum length adjustment of the Qwik-Adjust columns is 4 inches (102 mm). After the Qwik-Adjust column has been adjusted to the desired length, one screw thread must be damaged to one half its depth for a length of 1 1 / 2 inches with a cold chisel to prevent vertical movement of the column. The top plate must be attached to the supported beam in accordance with the approved plans.

ESR-1729 Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 2 of 4 5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE The Qwik-Post and Qwik-Adjust support columns described in this report comply with, or are suitable alternatives to what is specified in, those codes listed in Section 1.0 of this report, subject to the following conditions: 5.1 The column assemblies must be fabricated and installed in accordance with this report, the report holder s published installation instructions, the approved plans and the applicable code. In the event of a conflict between the report holder s published installation instructions and this report, this report governs. 5.2 Where required by the code official, engineering calculations and construction documents consistent with this report must be submitted to the code official for approval. The documents must address details of the attachment of the column to the structure, consistent with the requirements of this report. The documents must be prepared by a registered design professional where required by the statutes of the jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed. 5.3 ing on the columns must be limited to concentric axial compressive loads, in accordance with Section 4.1. Other loading conditions, such as but not limited to, eccentric loads, tensile axial loads, bending loads, and lateral loads, are outside the scope of this report. 5.4 Connections of the post to the foundation and the supported construction, and bearing capacity of the supported beam, are outside the scope of this report and must be approved by the code official. 5.5 Maximum adjustment of the Qwik-Adjust columns is 4 inches (102 mm) and the overall column height must be limited to the maximum height given in Table 2. 5.6 The columns are manufactured in Holly, Michigan, under a quality control program with inspections by ICC-ES. 6.0 EVIDENCE SUBMITTED Data in accordance with the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Adjustable Steel Columns (AC335), dated February 2008 (editorially revised March 2014). 7.0 IDENTIFICATION Qwik-Post and Qwik-Adjust columns are labeled with the report holder s name (Quality Way Products), the product name (Qwik-Adjust or Qwik-Post), model designation, the minimum and maximum lengths, the design thickness, the allowable load, and the evaluation report number (ESR-1729).
