The Reid™ Elephant Foot™ Ferrule is a high-performance cast-in fixing solution for precast and tilt-up concrete construction. Manufactured in zinc-plated or hot-dip galvanised steel, it features a distinctive footed base that maximises concrete breakout capacity without the need for a cross-bar, while the waisted body ensures load transfer is governed by ductile steel behaviour rather than cross-hole weakness.
Fully compliant with AS 3850.1:2024, the ferrule is pre-threaded to accept standard ISO metric coarse fasteners in accordance with AS 1721 and is designed to exceed the tensile capacity of the matching Grade 4.6 bolt. Its robust construction, stamped identification markings, and compatibility with accessories such as locator caps, ferrule chairs, and nailing plates make it a versatile and dependable fixing point for structural connections, façade systems, and temporary bracing.
