BC-eries chematics Founded in 987, Buzon Pedestal International (B.P.I. s.a.) is the first European manufacturer of the Buzon (screw jack) Pedestal which is The support head () is screwed directly into the base or the coupler. Both the head and the coupler have a safety stop () located at the base of the threads that prevents overextension. adjustable millimetre by millimetre up to 00mm. Made from polypropylene and able to bear loads of more than 000 kg/pedestal for the support of paving slabs and timber or timber composite decking on roof terraces, balconies, garden terraces and around swimming pools. lso used for temporary floors in trade shows, special events and raised floors in many other industrial applications. 6 On the support head there are, 6 holes () which allow you to attach the tabs in various combinations to accomodate a myriad of patterns. (see diagram right) The coupler () is used when the height of the pedestal exceeds 00mm. Two stabilizing brackets () allow the pedestals to be tied to each other with wire, ensuring greater stability when the height exceeds 600mm. The mm thick, 00mm diameter polypropylene base (6) can be placed or fixed on a solid substrate. Holes (7) at the bottom of the base are incorporated into its design to allow drainage and prevent the collection of stagnant water. single BC-PH slope corrector (8) can compensate for a horizontal slope from 0 to %. This is placed under the base of the pedestal. 7 8 BC-PH lope Corrector 0% slope corrector placed under the base of the pedestal will compensate for a slope of up to % in the substrate. 90 0% %

Jack B C djustable Pedestals pecifications for BlackJack Pedestals BC-eries The rd generation BC-eries screwjack pedestals are made from talc-filled polypropylene copolymer materials that are UV stable, weather and chemical resistant, temperature resistant from 0 up to 0 C, and can support loads of more than 000kg/pedestal. (Certified compression test results are available on request.) ll the pedestals and accessories are rot-proof and recyclable. The BC-eries consisting of BC-, BC-, BC-, and BC- are infinitely adjustable from to 00mm (.6 in to 7.9 in), and with the addition of C- Couplers to the BC- or BC-, heights up to 00mm (.6 in) can be achieved. Other components included with the system are the BC-PH slope corrector (0 - %) which attaches to the base, BC Batten upport Plate, various fasteners, and mm Circular pacer Tabs which attach to the head of the pedestal. These unique Circular pacer Tabs in concert with the head, now allows other shapes such as triangles, pentagonal, hexagonal, and circular units to be installed in addition to the traditional square and rectangular units. This gives designers more flexibility to create a one of a kind landscape. nother new feature included with the BC- and BC- are two locking keys located in the base. These provide a simple and reliable way to lock the head and C- Coupler(s) at the adjusted height. ) Head pecifications: mm = 6cm² 6 circular tab holes Thickness = mm (. in) Diameter = mm (.7 in) urface rea = 6cm (.6 in) a) Beneath the head are reinforcement ribs for optimal load distribution. mm center hole b) t the base of the continuously threaded head is a afety top to prevent total unscrewing, this ensures three safety threads are retained at all times to provide support. c) The surface configuration of the head provides 6 circular holes for attaching the mm circular spacer tabs. This allows angles of 0 / /60 /90 /0 / /0 and 80 to be achieved to accommodate different paver shapes.

Lock / Unlock e) To allow the pedestal to be fixed to the substrate, eight holes of and 8mm diameters with a 6mm neck are located adjacent to the reinforcement ribs. Key f ) By inserting a nail into the small hole located near the top of the base you can unlock the safety stop allowing the head or coupler to be completely unscrewed. g) Two slots titled Unlocked/Lock accommodates a locking key that provides a simple and reliable way of keeping the adjusted height secured in place.

The slope value number of the upper disc should correspond with the slope direction number of the lower disc. The pedestal will now be in a perfectly vertical position. 7) BC Batten upport Plate pecifications: Dimensions: mm x mm x mm H (6 in x 6 in x. in H) upporting urface: 7cm (6 in) Components: upport Plate, Batten Guides, Batten upport Fastener, afety Lock Pin m m a) Batten upport Plates are used for supporting wooden or composite decking materials. b) Can also be used to support pipe or other types of conduit. c) The adjustment guides can receive battens in the following dimensions: / 0 / / 0 / / 60 / 6 / 70 / 7 / 80 / 8 / 90mm or more. d) Battens are fastened to the adjustment guides with stainless steel screws. 7
