Split columns may be necessary for certain applications and HB&G has two kits that can reattach split columns. Regardless of using a split kit, please note that split columns are NOT load bearing. A split kit must be ordered separately as it does not automatically come with a split column.
Split Kit without Flange
A split kit without flange includes everything needed to install a round or square column: 43″ straps, 4-aluminum plates with screws, MMA adhesive and installation instructions. MMA adhesive is a Methyl Methacrylate Adhesive (MMA) which is a slow curing (20-25 minutes) two (2) component adhesive. It is a medium viscosity, solvent-free, structural adhesive that has excellent adhesion and bond strength performance. MMA adhesive must be stored in a climate-controlled environment.
The part numbers for the split kit without flange are:
- 17111 for round 6″, 8″, and 10″ PermaCast columns from 4′ to 10′ and square 6″, and 8″, PermaCast columns from 6′ to 10′
