Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, begin by drilling a hole in the concrete or masonry that matches the anchor's diameter and depth requirements. Once drilled, clean the hole thoroughly with a wire brush or compressed air to ensure the expansion segments can grip the material effectively. Insert the shield anchor until the washer is flush with the surface, then tighten the eye bolt to engage the expansion mechanism. Over-tightening beyond the initial firm resistance is generally unnecessary. Periodically inspect the eye bolt for signs of shifting or surface damage, especially if the anchor is used to hold heavy, tensioned loads over extended periods.
