We are thrilled to announce a major milestone in the advancement of the precast concrete industry: publication of the ICC Report ESR-5267 for X-Pin™. This marks a significant step forward in the broad market adoption of our innovative fiberglass pin connection system by precast concrete sandwich panel producers. 

A New Standard in Fiberglass Pin Connection Systems

The X-Pin™ system is now fully compliant with the updated ICC Approved Criteria AC 422, which governs “Fiber Reinforced Connectors for Concrete Sandwich Panels.” This means that the X-Pin™ can be confidently used in projects, even with the strictest building official requirements. Additionally, following rigorous ICC testing, the performance parameters of the X-Pin™ system have been upgraded, resulting in the elimination of performance-specific insulation requirements.

Promoting Sustainability and Efficiency in Precast Concrete

The X-Pin™ Insulation System for Composite Action Concrete Sandwich Panels promotes sustainable building practices within the precast concrete industry. Here’s how:

• Pre-routing rigid insulation: We ensure that insulation is routed in close proximity to our customers’ precast facilities, reducing transportation-related emissions and ensuring efficient delivery.
• Waste reduction: Unlike traditional connection systems, the X-Pin™ system significantly minimizes material waste, contributing to more environmentally responsible construction practices.

Enhancing Profitability and Efficiency

Beyond its environmental benefits, the X-Pin™ system provides tangible advantages in terms of operational efficiency. By allowing for faster bed turnover and offering logistical and material savings, our customers can achieve greater profitability and streamlined project management.
