The Split Drive Anchor is a one piece anchor, with a split type expansion mechanism on the working end. As the anchor is driven into the hole, the expansion mechanism compresses and exerts force against the walls of the hole. Can be installed in concrete, grout filled block and stone. Available in Mushroom, Countersunk and Duplex head styles. The duplex head Split Drive is designed for temporary fastening applications and can be removed using a claw hammer. Warning for CSD and MSD only: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance problems in wet or corrosive environments. Accordingly, use these products in dry, interior and non-corrosive environments only.

MSD/CSD/DSD Product Data
- Mechanical galvanizing meets ASTM B695, Class 55, Type 1. Intended for some pressure-treated wood sill plate applications. Not for use in other corrosive or outdoor environments. See corrosion information for details.

Caution: Oversized holes will make it difficult to set the anchor and will reduce the anchor's load capacity.
- Drill a hole in the base material using a 1/4" diameter carbide tipped drill. Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth plus 1/2" to allow room for the dust to settle. Alternatively, drill the hole to the specified embedment depth and blow it clean using compressed air. Overhead installations need not be blown clean.
- Position fixture and insert Split Drive through holes in fixture.
- Drive anchor until head is flush against fixture.
