An elevator divider beam connects to a supporting structural steel beam utilizing two angles, specified as L3-1/2x3x5/16 and L5x3-1/2x5/16, welded with 1/4 inch typical fillet welds. The divider beams consist of hollow structural sections, specifically HSS6x4x1/4 with a maximum span of 8'-6" or HSS8x4x1/4 with a maximum span of 9'-6". A 3/16 inch fillet weld secures the assembly to the supporting steel member. The divider beams are designed for a maximum lateral deflection of 1/4 inch under a maximum unfactored service normal and seismic load of 4.2 kips.
