Detailers
Detailer are generally indifferent as to whether DTI's or SQUIRTER® DTIs are going to be used. If the design calls for DTI's there are a few matters that the detailer must address, however.
- Bolt Length - DTI's don't change the ordered length of bolts because all bolts are sized to have a few threads sticking through the nut, and the DTI takes up less than the length of two threads. DTI thickness is shown on the chart located under manufacturing specifications For more detailed information on DTI's and bolt lengths please see this FAQ
- Flat Washer Requirements - for more on flat washer requirements
- .DWG / .DXF AutoCAD files for Structural Steel Detailers: you can put them on your project drawings, then annotate them a little, which then tells bidders of that project to expect DTI's on the bolts and how to install them.
