Preparation/Application:

1. Use only when the product, air, and surface temperature are above 50

(10

C) for a minimum of 24 hours.

2. The concrete or masonry unit to receive the anchor must be sound and

capable of supporting the fixtures (minimum 3,000 psi 20.7 MPa).

3. Ensure that the hole is wide enough and deep enough to provide proper

support. Diameter of hole should be 3 to 4 times the diameter of the fixture

being placed and the depth of the hole must be 8 to 12 times the fixtures

diameter.

4. In no case should the hole be less than 2” (51 mm) deep and 2” (51 mm) wide.

I minimum clearance of 1” (25 mm) is required around the fixture being

anchored and 4” (102 mm) from the edge of the slab.

5. Remove all unsound concrete and any other foreign materials that will

inhibit performance.

6. Flood the hole with clean potable water and then removed all standing water

leaving the hole damp. The surface should be brought to a saturated surface

dry condition (SSD).

7. Outer edges of the substrate must be reinforced with coated rebar.

Mixing:

1. Do not mix more material lthan can be placed in 10 minutes.

2. If mixing less than a full container, mix 4 parts Anchor Cement with 1 part

water.

3. Pour Anchor Cement into hole. If product is used to anchor an exterior railing,

mound the material slightly so that rain water can not pool at the base of the

railing.
