INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (SOLID BASE MATERIALS)

DRILLING

1- Drill a hole into the base material with rotary hammer drill (i.e. percussion drill) and a carbide drill bit to the size and embedment required by the

selected steel hardware element (reference installation specifications for threaded rod and reinforcing bar). The tolerances of the carbide drill

bits, including hollow bits, must meet ANSI Standard B212.15.

• Precaution: Use suitable eye and skin protection. Avoid inhalation of dust during drilling and/or removal (see dust extraction equipment by

DEWALT to minimize dust emission).

• Note! In case of standing water in the drilled hole (flooded hole condition), all the water has to be removed from the hole (e.g. vacuum,

compressed air, etc.) prior to cleaning.

Drilling in dry base material is recommended when using hollow drill bits (vacuum must be on).

DRILLING AND CLEANING SYSTEM; OTHERWISE GO TO STEP 2A.

HOLE CLEANING DRY (BLOW 4X, BRUSH 4X, BLOW 4X)

2a- Starting from the bottom or back of the anchor hole, blow the hole clean using a compressed air nozzle (min. 90 psi) or a hand pump (supplied

by DEWALT) a minimum of four times (4x).

• Use a compressed air nozzle (min. 90 psi) or a hand pump (min. volume 25 fl. oz.) for anchor rod 3/8" to 3/4" diameter or reinforcing bar (rebar)

sizes #3 to #6.

• Use a compressed air nozzle (min. 90 psi) for anchor rod 7/8" to 1-1/4" diameter and rebar sizes #7 to #10. A hand pump shall not be used

with these anchor sizes.

2b- Determine wire brush diameter (see installation specifications) and attach the brush with adaptor to a rotary drill tool or battery screwgun. Brush

the hole with the selected wire brush a minimum of four times (4x). A brush extension (supplied by DEWALT, Cat. #08282) should be used for

holes drilled deeper than the listed brush length.

• The wire brush diameter should be checked periodically during use. The brush should resist insertion into the drilled hole and come into contact

with the sides of the drilled hole. If not the brush is too small and must be replaced.

2c- Finally, blow the hole clean again a minimum of four times (4x).

• Use a compressed air nozzle (min. 90 psi) or a hand pump (min. volume 25 fl. oz.) for anchor rod 3/8" to 3/4" diameter or reinforcing bar (rebar)

sizes #3 to #6.

• Use a compressed air nozzle (min. 90 psi) for anchor rod 7/8" to 1-1/4" diameter and rebar sizes #7 to #10. A hand pump shall not be used

with these anchor sizes.

• When finished the hole should be clean and free of dust, debris, ice, grease, oil or other foreign material.

PREPARING

3- Check adhesive expiration date on cartridge label. Do not use expired product. Review Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. Cartridge temperature

must be between 23°F - 95°F (-5°C - 35°C) when in use unless otherwise noted. Review gel (working) and cure time table. Consideration

should be given to the reduced gel time of the adhesive in warm temperatures.

• Attach a supplied mixing nozzle to the cartridge. Unless otherwise noted do not modify the mixer in any way and make sure the mixing element

is inside the nozzle. Load the cartridge into the correct dispensing tool.

• Note: Always use a new mixing nozzle with new cartridges of adhesive and also for all work interruptions exceeding the published working time

of the adhesive.

4- Prior to inserting the anchor rod or rebar into the filled bore hole, the position of the embedment depth has to be marked on the anchor

• Verify anchor element is straight and free of surface damage.

5- Adhesive must be properly mixed to achieve published properties. For new cartridges and nozzles, prior to dispensing adhesive into the drilled

hole, separately dispense at least three full strokes of adhesive through the mixing nozzle until the adhesive is a consistent GRAY color. Do not

attach a used nozzle when changing to a new cartridge.

• Review and note the published working and cure times (see gel time and curing time table) prior to injection of the mixed adhesive into the

cleaned anchor hole.

INSTALLATION

6- Fill the cleaned hole approximately to two-thirds full with mixed adhesive starting from the bottom or back of the anchor hole. Slowly withdraw

the mixing nozzle as the hole fills to avoid creating air pockets or voids. If the bottom or back of the anchor hole is not reached with the mixing

nozzle only, a plastic extension tube must be used with the mixing nozzle (see reference tables for installation).

• Piston plugs (see installation specifications) must be used with and attached to the mixing nozzle and extension tube for horizontal and overhead

installations in concrete with anchor rod 5/8" to 1-1/4" diameter and rebar size #5 to #10. Insert piston plug to the back of the drilled hole and inject

as described in the method above. During installation the piston plug will be naturally extruded from the drilled hole by the adhesive pressure.

• Attention! Do not install anchors overhead without proper training and installation hardware provided by DEWALT.

Contact DEWALT for details prior to use.

WITH PISTON PLUG:

7- The anchor should be free of dirt, grease, oil or other foreign material. Push clean threaded rod or reinforcing bar into the anchor hole while

turning slightly to ensure positive distribution of the adhesive until the embedment depth is reached. Observe the gel (working) time.

8- Be sure that the anchor is fully seated at the bottom of the hole to the specified embedment. Adhesive must completely fill the annular gap

between the anchor and the base material. Protect the anchor element threads from fouling with adhesive. For all installations the rebar must be

restrained from movement throughout the specified curing period (as necessary) where necessary through the use of temporary wedges, external

supports, or other methods. Minor adjustments to the position of the anchor element may be performed during the gel (working) time only.

CURING AND LOADING

e.g.

68˚F

min

9- Allow the adhesive anchor to cure to the specified full curing time prior to applying any load (reference gel time and curing time table).

• Do not disturb, torque or load the anchor until it is fully cured.

max

10- After full curing of the adhesive anchor, a fixture can be installed to the anchor and tightened up to the maximum torque (reference gel time

and curing table) by using a calibrated torque wrench.

• Take care not to exceed the maximum torque for the selected anchor.
