A better question would be why is the guy tightening the bolt by the head and not the nut, no way is that got to be the final torqueing of those bolts, or at least one would hope not. They appear to be 1" bolts so the torque setting for those bolts are a lot higher than what he is going to get with a Podger spanner.
Even a better question is why the nuts aren't on the lug side of the connection. Also why would he get his bottom bolt so tight and then "thread" the bolt, instead of aligning the hole with his spud wrench?
Yes, I'd trust the bolts. So do you if you've ever been in a multistory building, sports arena, any kind of industrial building, etc. The 325A bolt they are using have an approximate tensile strength of 120,000 lbs. Also, you wouldn't want a welded connection there anyway.
Close Sean. Scabs are the sorry pukes that cross a picket line to take a union job for less money and no benefits. What we were watching were RATS. They are the unskilled, untrained joes that probably watched a you tube video and thought they could do this job.
Jordan66k oh yeah. especially when there's only enough fuel, assuming 100% thermal transfer efficiency, to bring 1 floor of the structure up by 250 degrees! It's clearly better to build with balsa wood.
Jordan66k that's akin to saying that Gravity is so strong that it causes nuclear fission. True statement, but not very useful for analyzing the events of 9/11 :)
Watching that I-beam swing around without anybody wearing any protective equipment made my spider sense tingle.
Who needs a 2-point lift? _Totally_ overkill
Great video. Loving the controversial 911 references. Thanks for making it.
do you end up welding the joint? or just depend on the bolts?

By the way they are using 3/4" bolts. Hopefully 325A.
all so love to see guy standing on top of ladder it not a matter of if they get wipeout just when!

2:07 That guy has serious circus training, if he ever fails as an Iron worker. Cirque du Soleil would hire him..
Two chokers to the headache ball would be much safer than hoisting that single cable. My uncle was paralyzed with a swinging beam...
Is it on sale in amazon?
Out of curiosity. What were the dimensions and span those steels were taking
What if i hypothetically hit it with 2 fighter gets?
Thanks and i hope you respond!
I wanna put steel in my house what’s an average cost with install
What's the longest span that you are covering with this beam? That is, distance between columns.
Darron those look like 12” 30lb beams. You would need a column about every 15 foot or so.
What torque? Dependent on thread, material, diameter etc?
good place
i always thought the purpose of steel beams is so you dont have a support beam in the middle of a basement.
Chris L. You have to have a pretty stout beam for that.
That is the main draw for them yes. But you can use a lesser beam and having a middle support beam too.
Those bolts are hard to place. That L is supposed to be a bit longer. Placing bolts there takes a lot of effort.
The further the bolts are from the angle the larger the moment on the braket and on the bolts once they're tightened
how much does a build like this cost?
10 dollars
Why are they bolted and not welded?
Are these jet fuel proof?
Always wonder why they have to let things sag first before they set the coullms .
how much to they cost. I need one that spans 28 feet.
And then you are going to search for one in a comments section on TH-cam?! LOL
Just curious for a ballpark figure.
Depends on the weight of beam, we sell beams that weigh 13lbs to 100lbs a foot. Its about .80 a lb.
He put the bolts in wrong. He should be tightening the nuts and not the bolt heads.
What, no welding?! You trust those nuts and bolts? No thanks...
Order in Chaos teehee
Such connectors are used in literally millions of houses just in the U.S.A. alone.
Yes, I'd trust the bolts. So do you if you've ever been in a multistory building, sports arena, any kind of industrial building, etc. The 325A bolt they are using have an approximate tensile strength of 120,000 lbs. Also, you wouldn't want a welded connection there anyway.
Why don't you tighten the bolts down with an impact rather than hand tight?
Better tighten it with a torque wrench. Over-tightening a bolt is also bad.
do not lift like this not safe if beam let go he lose his legs
I do this everyday for a living on bigger shit
better watch out for jet feul
Those beams should be painted with special anti jet fuel paint...
watch out for jet fuel
dogmented jet fuel guy you just give the terroristas guys a hint for their next attack.
This comment. Lol im with you man. Didnt think id find something like this here 🧠🇺🇸
Standing on top of the ladder 🤦🏻♂️ and he put the bolts in the wrong way. Bolt, beam, clip, nut.
Hard-hat, steel or composite work shoes, kelvar vest. Should save him from a fall from the top of the ladder. And maybe a swinging beam.
I'm very shocking western people do this work without safety helmet.
Where do you live? I've seen photos of people in South and West Asia doing crazier things than this.
Thats why they call it the wild west.
That's some joed up shit.
You must be a brother Ironworker to know that term!
OSHA 🤦🏾♂️😂
Shut it down!!!!!!
lol the people in the comments.
Jet fuel proofing your home
where is the jet fuel?
thar called scabbs

Jet fuel will melt all steel products. I-beams,pipes,and everything
Jordan66k oh yeah. especially when there's only enough fuel, assuming 100% thermal transfer efficiency, to bring 1 floor of the structure up by 250 degrees!
It's clearly better to build with balsa wood.
***** All steel burns at 3,000 degrees! Fire gets so hot that it melts the steel and weaks fireproofing! Look it Up!

no hard hats
Hard isn't going to stop a beam
No, but criticizing from behind a keyboard feels so good.
But that hat is jet fuel proof ..lol

I was gonna say what's with the fucking music?
