INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (UNREINFORCED MASONRY [URM WALLS] AND HOLLOW BASE MATERIALS)

DRILLING

1- Drill a hole into the base material with a rotary drill tool to the size and embedment required by the selected screen tube size and steel anchor

element (see installation specifications for threaded rod in hollow base material with screen tube supplied by DEWALT). Holes drilled in hollow

concrete masonry units may be drilled with a rotary hammer-drill. The tolerances of the drill bit, including hollow drill bits, must meet the

requirements of ANSI B212.15.

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

minimize dust emission).

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

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

HOLE CLEANING (BLOW 2X, BRUSH 2X, BLOW 2X)

2- Starting from the bottom or back of the anchor hole, blow the hole clean with a hand pump (min. volume 25 fl.oz. supplied by DEWALT) or

compressed air nozzle a minimum of two times (2x).

• Determine the wire brush diameter (see installation specifications) and attach the brush with adaptor to a rotary drill tool or battery screw gun.

Brush the hole with the selected wire brush a minimum of two times (2x). A brush extension (supplied by DEWALT, Cat #08282) should be used

for holes drilled deeper than the listed brush length.

• The wire brush 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.

• Finally, blow the hole clean again a minimum of two times (2x)

• 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) time and curing

time table. Consideration should be given to the reduced gel (working) 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 into the filled screen tube, 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. 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

screen tube.

INSTALLATION

6- Select a screen tube of suitable length (supplied by DEWALT). Fill the screen tube full with adhesive starting from the bottom or back of the

tube. Slowly withdraw the mixing nozzle as the screen fills to avoid creating air pockets or voids. A plastic extension tube must be used with the

mixing nozzle if the back of the screen tube cannot be reached (see reference tables for installation).

7- Insert the screen tube filled with adhesive into the cleaned anchor hole. Inject additional adhesive into the screen tube as necessary to ensure

the screen tube is completely filled.

• Note: Overfilling the screen tube is acceptable but not required.

8- Prior to inserting the anchor rod into the screen tube inspect it to ensure that it is free of dirt, grease, oil or other foreign material.

• Push the threaded rod into the screen tube while turning slightly to ensure positive distribution of the adhesive until back of the tube is reached.

• Note: In cases where the drilled hole size is larger than specified due to rotary drilling (e.g. an elongated opening), the annular space between

the screen tube and the hole at the base material surface must be filled with adhesive.

CURING AND FIXTURE

e.g.

68˚F

mins

9- Allow the adhesive anchor to cure to the specified full curing time prior to applying any load.

• Do not disturb, torque or load the anchor until it is fully cured (see gel time and curing time table).

max

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

specifications for threaded rod in hollow base material) by using a calibrated torque wrench.

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