Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Drill Hole: Use a hammer drill with a masonry bit of the specified diameter (e.g., 14mm for 10/12mm Ankerbolt) to drill a hole to the required depth.
- Clean Hole: Thoroughly clean the drilled hole using a wire brush and blowing out debris to ensure optimal expansion.
- Insert Bolt: Place the Ankerbolt into the pre-drilled hole.
- Tighten Nut: Using a suitable wrench, tighten the hexagon nut. As the nut is tightened, the bolt shank expands within the hole, creating a strong anchor.
Compatibility:
These Ankerbolts are designed for use in solid substrates such as concrete, brick, and stone. Ensure the substrate is sound and capable of bearing the intended load. Not recommended for use in hollow materials or plasterboard.
Care:
While the BZP coating offers good corrosion resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments without additional protection. Periodically inspect installed bolts for any signs of corrosion or loosening, especially in critical structural applications.
