Which Fasteners Have Miami-Dade Approvals?

Much like the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety’s LARRs, Miami-Dade County approves construction products, including fasteners, for use on buildings in both Miami-Dade County and throughout the country. Whereas approvals in Los Angeles are mainly judged on their ability to withstand seismic loads (think earthquakes), Miami-Dade approvals are judged on their ability to withstand hurricane-like conditions.

The list of fasteners with Miami-Dade approvals is smaller than the list with LARRs or ICC-ES reports, but important nonetheless. If your project requires products to have Miami-Dade-approved fasteners, the following list will be of great assistance.

  • Hilti’s Kwik-Con II+ and Kwik Con+ Concrete and Masonry Screw Anchors

  • Elco’s 1/4" Crete-Flex SS4 Concrete and Masonry Anchors, Aggre-Gator 300 Series Stainless Steel Concrete and Masonry Anchor and Ultracon SS4 410 Series Stainless Steel Concrete & Masonry Screw Anchors

  • DeWALT’s Ultracon and Ultracon+ Concrete and Masonry Screw Anchors

  • ITW Buildex’s Tapcon Masonry Fasteners, Tapcon Concrete and Masonry Anchors with Advanced Threadform Technology and Tapcon Storm Guard Concrete Anchors

  • Brighton Best’s Tapking SD Concrete and Masonry Screw and US Anchor Ultrawedge+ Anchor
