- Holes in metal fixtures to be mounted should exceed nominal anchor diameter by 1/16" for 1/4" thru 5/8" diameter anchors, and by 1/8" for all other diameters.
- Do not use an impact wrench to set or tighten the Wedge-All.
Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will make it difficult to set the anchor and will reduce the anchor's load capacity.

THREADED STUDS
- 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 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 fixture.
- Tighten to the required installation torque.
TIE-WIRE
- Drill a hole at least 1 1/2" deep using a 1/4" diameter carbide tipped bit.
- Drive the anchor into the hole until the head is seated against the base material.
- Set the anchor by prying/pulling the head with the claw end of the hammer.
