About this file
The document is a set of technical installation instructions and parts lists for Transpo Industries' Break-Safe Model Breakaway Support Systems for sign posts, specifically for use by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) in a statewide contract (Bid Solicitation #25DPP01157). The file contains detailed technical drawings and specifications for four different breakaway support system models: AS4H, AS4, B525, and B650, which are designed to support highway signs, luminaires, and traffic signals. These systems are engineered to meet AASHTO Standard Specifications and include comprehensive installation instructions covering anchor assembly, hinge assembly, bracket assembly, coupling assembly, and sign panel assembly.
The technical specifications indicate that these breakaway support systems are designed for various post types including 4" square tube, W6 and W8 wide flange I-beams, and 5" and 6" square tube signposts. The systems are constructed from materials like 6061-T6 aluminum, AISI 4130 steel, and 304 stainless steel, with galvanized hardware meeting ASTM A153 standards. Each model includes specific components such as brackets, hinges, couplings, special bolts, and anchors, with detailed instructions for precise installation to ensure proper functionality and safety. The patent numbers 4,528,786 and 5,596,845 are referenced, and the technical drawings are dated January 2015, suggesting these are current engineering specifications for highway infrastructure support systems.

POST DRILLING FOR TYPE B525 AND B650
UPRIGHT POSTS (SKETCH A)
Note: Precise positioning of the anchors is critical to proper assembly of the system. It is recommended that actual posts be used to locate the correct postion of the anchors.
1. Fabricate a flat, rigid template with four (4) 16mm (5/8") diameter holes located to match the specified anchor pattern of the Break-Safe Brackets attached to the signpost. See diagram below.
2. Attach four (4) Transpo Type A Female Anchors to the template using four (4) 16mm (5/8") diameter bolts. Ensure that each Anchor Washer is snug against the bottom of the template.
3. Lower Anchor Assembly into fresh concrete foundation, and vibrate into position such that the tops of the Anchor Washers are flush with the finished top surface of the foundation. Support the template such that all Anchors are level and in their proper locations.
4. Allow concrete to cure, and then remove the bolts and template from the top of the foundation.
BRACKET ASSEMBLY:
1. Drill eight (8) 14.3mm (9/16") diameter holes in the bottom end of the post section as shown.
2. Place Brackets squarely on outer surface of the post, and secure with bolts, lock washers, and nuts. Then, tighten all 1/2 turn beyond snug.
COUPLING ASSEMBLY:
1. Thread four (4) Break-Safe Couplings into Anchors. Do not tighten.
2. Suspend post assembly over foundation, insert Special Bolts through holes in the Brackets, and thread them snug into the Couplings.
3. If post is not plumb, insert Shims (14g and/or 18g) between the Couplings and Anchors, where needed.
4. Use lower wrench flats to tighten Couplings into Anchors as tight as possible using a convensional wrench. Do not use a pipe wrench. Couplings must be seated squarely.
5. Tighten Special Bolts while holding Couplings by the upper wrench flats with an additional wrench to prevent an induced torque stress across the necked portion of the Coupling. All Special Bolts shall also be tightened as tight as possible using convensional wrenches.
SIGN PANEL ASSEMBLY:
1. After all signposts are secured in place, attach sign panel assembly to posts in accordance with the sign manufacturer's recommendations.
