Strong-Bolt™ Wedge Anchor for Cracked and Uncracked Concrete

Installation Information and Additional Data

 
 

1/2" and 5/8" diameter Strong-Bolt™ anchors are now Anchor Category 1.

Installation

Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will make it difficult to set the anchor and will reduce the anchor's load capacity.

  • Do not use an impact wrench to set or tighten the Strong-Bolt anchor.
  • Drill a hole in the base material using a carbide drill bit the same diameter as the nominal diameter of the anchor to be installed. Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth and blow it clean using compressed air. Overhead installations need not be blown clean. Alternatively, drill the hole deep enough to accommodate embedment depth and dust from drilling.
  • Assemble the anchor with nut and washer so that the top of the nut is flush with the top of the anchor. Place the anchor in the fixture and drive into the hole until washer and nut are tight against the fixture.
  • Tighten to the required installation torque.
