Through Bolt Anchor

1. -CHARACTERISTICS
1.1 Metallic anchor, with functioning principle by expansion and installation by controlled torque.
1.2 Male thread.
1.3 Use in non-cracked concrete.
1.4 Easy assembly.
1.5 Use for medium-high loads.
1.6 Manufactured in zinc plated steel, stainless steel A2 (equivalent to AISI 303 / 304) and hot-DIP galvanized (EN ISO 1461) with stainless steel A4 clip.
1.7 Previous installation, or through the fixture hole itself.
1.8 Variety of lengths: Assembly flexibility.
1.9 Two different installation depths for measures M8, M10 & M12, which allow a higher flexibility for both thin and thick materials at installation.

2. - INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
2.1 Before placing the anchor checks to be made to ensure the strength class of the concrete is not lower than that to which the characteristic loads apply
2.2 The concrete to be well compacted, e. G. Without significant voids
2.3 Base material temperatures during installation: -5 / + 50 C (80 C in a short period of time)
2.4 Anchors to be installed ensuring not less than the specified embedment depth, The edge distance and spacing to be kept to the specified values, no minus tolerances to be allowed
2.5 Drill to the minimum depth and diameter specified, maintaining perpendicular to the surface of the base material. Fixture holes themselves can be used as template.
2.6 When drilling holes, care to be taken not to damage reinforcement in close proximity to the hole's position. Action to be taken in the event that drilling is aborted, e. G. Due to encountering reinforcement. It is recommended to either install the anchors immediately beside the aborted drill hole, provide that anchoring depth is increased by the depth of the aborted drill hole, or make a new drilling at a minimum distance away of two the depth of the aborted hole. Alternatively, a smaller distance may be chosen, provided the aborted drill hole is filled with high strength mortar. However, unless the aborted drill hole is filled with mortar, it is not permissible under a shear or oblique tension load for it to be closer than installation depth hnom in the direction of load application.
2.7 Thoroughly clean hole from dust and drilling fragments.
2.8 For holes to be subjected to temperatures below 0 degree centegrade, measures to be taken to avoid the ingress of water into the hole and subsequent risk of local cracking of the concrete due to ice expansion.
2.9 To introduce the anchor into the hole up to the embedment depth through the fixture, considering the standard o reduced embedment depth. A hammer can be use to assure this depth. Do not apply any intermediate lay between the fixture and the washer (sealant, etc. ). Apply the specified torque with a torque wrench.
3.0 In case of fixture holes with diameters higher than specified use washers of bigger diameter and thickness, but in this case it is not assured a correct distribution of shear loads amongst all the anchors of a same group. The shear load will be applied on those anchors with the correct diameter on the fixture.
