FAQs

Can I use these in hollow walls?

No, these capsules rely on the surrounding solid material to create a bond and will not function correctly in hollow substrates.

How long do I wait before applying a load?

Refer to the specific manufacturer's curing chart on the packaging, as setting times vary based on ambient temperature.

Are these capsules reusable?

No, the capsule is designed for a single-use, permanent installation.

Does the hole need to be cleaned after drilling?

Yes, proper hole cleaning is essential to remove dust that prevents the resin from bonding to the concrete surface.

Can I use an impact drill to install them?

It is recommended to use a standard hammer-in technique or a rotary drill to drive the stud home to ensure the capsule mixes and sets evenly.

Troubleshooting

The anchor stud spins without gripping

Ensure the hole is not oversized and is completely free of drilling dust.

Resin fails to cure properly

Check the ambient temperature; cold conditions significantly increase curing time, while hot conditions decrease it.

The capsule does not break upon insertion

Check if the drilled depth matches the required specification for the 125mm length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to traditional resin injection methods
  • Provides a high-load, secure anchor in solid concrete
  • Excellent for structural fixing where reliability is critical
  • Easy to identify on-site due to color-coding

Cons

  • Not suitable for hollow bricks or aerated blocks
  • Requires precise drilling to ensure the capsule fits correctly
  • Once installed, they are typically permanent and difficult to remove

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve maximum performance, follow these steps:

  1. Drill: Use a 16mm masonry bit to drill a hole to the required depth in the solid concrete base.
  2. Clean: Use a wire brush and a pump or compressed air to remove all dust from the hole.
  3. Insert: Place the J-Fix capsule into the hole.
  4. Drive: Use a hammer or an SDS drill on the rotation-only setting to drive the stud into the capsule, which breaks the glass and mixes the resin.
  5. Set: Allow the specified curing time before applying any load to the stud.

These capsules are specifically compatible with concrete and solid stone. They are not intended for use in wet or water-filled holes unless the specific resin system is rated for saturated conditions.
