A davit pedestal assembly mounts on a roof structure relative to a parapet wall. Key dimensions require a minimum of 18 inches from the pedestal centerline to the parapet wall, 4 inches of vertical clearance above the finished roof or paver system, and a 42-inch required parapet height. The assembly accommodates various connection types including a welded connection, a thru bolt connection using structural steel hardware, and an embedded connection with a cast-in-place cage. Flashing is designated as by others, and the project structural engineer must verify whether the structure can support anchor design loads.
