See General Product Usage and Limitations listed in the Assembly Evaluation report ESR-5050.
Heights labeled with a * are Reduced for End Reaction capacity.
Heights labeled with a ** are Reduced for Flexural Strength Capacity.
The values in this table are based on testing per ICC-ES AC 86 (July 1995] and ASTM E72-98 and represent the limiting height capacity for strength using a 1.5 Safety Factor.
Limiting height values shown, were assessed from the lowest flexural strength value of gypsum tested.
