X-Pin™ Insulation System for Composite Concrete Sandwich Panels

ICC-evaluated fiberglass pin connection for precast and tilt-up manufacturers. ESR-5267 certified.

X-Pin™ System Overview

Watch how the X-Pin insulation connector system is installed in precast concrete sandwich panel production.

A Major Milestone for the Precast Industry

The publication of ICC Report ESR-5267 marks a significant step forward in the broad market adoption of the X-Pin™ system. The X-Pin is now fully compliant with the updated ICC Approved Criteria AC 422, which governs fiber reinforced connectors for concrete sandwich panels.

This means the X-Pin can be confidently specified on projects with the most stringent building official requirements. Following rigorous ICC testing, performance parameters have been upgraded, eliminating performance-specific insulation requirements and simplifying specification.

Sustainability, Efficiency & Profitability

  • ICC Report ESR-5267 published, meeting Approved Criteria AC 422 for fiber reinforced connectors.

  • Suitable for use on projects with strict building official requirements.

  • Eliminates insulation-specific performance requirements after rigorous ICC testing.

  • Pre-routing of rigid insulation at facilities near your production plant reduces freight costs.

  • Significantly reduces material waste compared to traditional connection systems.

  • Faster bed turnover through simpler insulation placement and panel assembly.

  • Logistical and material savings that improve profitability on every job.

  • Available with labeled, trimmed insulation panels ready for production use.

Promoting Sustainable Building Practices in Precast

The X-Pin system promotes sustainable building practices by addressing two key areas of waste in precast panel production:

  • Pre-routing near your facility. Insulation is routed close to your production plant, reducing transportation emissions and ensuring efficient, just-in-time delivery.
  • Waste reduction. Unlike traditional connection systems that require field trimming and generate scrap, the X-Pin system delivers insulation pre-cut to specification, contributing to more responsible production practices.
