Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Drill Hole: Use a masonry drill bit of the specified diameter (refer to product specifications for exact size, typically slightly larger than the bolt's shaft but smaller than the anchor's expansion sleeve) to drill to the required depth (at least the length of the ankerbolt). Ensure the hole is clean and free of dust.
- Insert Ankerbolt: Place the ankerbolt into the drilled hole. Ensure it is seated fully.
- Tighten Hexagon Head: Use a suitable wrench to turn the hexagon head. As you tighten, the internal cone is pulled into the expansion sleeve, expanding it against the walls of the hole, creating a secure mechanical anchor.
Compatibility:
These ankerbolts are designed for use in solid substrates such as concrete, solid brick, and dense blockwork. They are not recommended for use in hollow materials or plasterboard without specific substrate adapters or professional assessment.
Care:
While the galvanised finish provides corrosion resistance, periodic inspection for any signs of damage or excessive corrosion is recommended, especially in highly aggressive environments. Clean any accumulated dirt or debris from around the anchor head.
