AnkaScrew ™ Xtrem ™
SCREW IN ANCHORS – NON-CRACKED & CRACKED CONCRETE

GENERAL INFORMATION

Product

A seismic certified heavy duty screw-in anchor for permanent anchoring into concrete. Certified for seismic C1 & C2 applications.

Compliance

European Technical Assessment (option1) – ETA-20/0731 Design According to:

• Stud diameter equals hole diameter.
• AS5216 (formerly TS101)
• AS1170.4 – Earthquake Actions
• EN1992-4 (formerly ETAG001 Annex C, E & TR045
• NZS3101 (A3) Section 17 – Seismic Design C1 & C2

Use Ramset TM iExpert Anchor Software for optimised calculation or where a greater range of anchor layout detail is needed

Benefits, Advantages and Features

Fire tested to TR020

• Fire rated performance up to 120 minutes
• Highest level of European assessment for mechanical screw-in anchors
• Approved for all directions (floor, wall, overhead)
• Maximum Tensile & Shear capacities in cracked concrete
• Zinc Plating 5µm
• Anchor diameters 6mm to 12mm

Fast and easy to use:

• Install, simply screws into hole.
• Remove, leaving an empty hole.

Close to edge and for close anchor spacing:

• Does not expand and burst concrete.

Installation

1. Drill hole to correct diameter and depth. Important: Use Ramset™ Dustless Drilling System to ensure holes are clean. Alternatively, clean clean thoroughly with brush and remove debris by way of vacuum or hand pump, compressed air etc.
2. Using a socket wrench, screw the AnkaScrew ™ Xtrem ™ into the hole using slight pressure until the self tapping action starts.
3. Tighten the AnkaScrew ™ Xtrem ™ until flush with fixture.
   If resistance is experienced when tightening, unscrew anchor one turn and re- tighten. Ensure not to over tighten. Refer to tightening torque for limitations.

Principal Applications

• Anchoring into cracked & non cracked concrete
• Steel framing
• Mechanical services
• Pallet racking
• Safety barriers
• Conveyors
• Hand rails
• Bottom plates

Installation and performance details

Data is based on optimal dimensions, anchor spacing = 3h, edge distance = 1.5h
For shear loads acting towards an edge or where optimum dimensions are not achievable, please use the simplified strength limit state design process to verify capacity
** Reduced characteristic ultimate tensile capacity = ϕNur where ϕ = 0.67 and Nur is based on characteristic ultimate pull-out tensile capacity for sizes 6-10 and concrete tensile capacity for size 12 where h≥67.
For conversion to Working Load Limit MULTIPLY ϕNuc x 0.50
For Cracked Concrete performance, please use the simplified strength limit state design process to verify capacity.
***Note: For performance based on smaller concrete substrate thickness, refer to iExpert Anchor Software or Ramset™ Engineer.

Notes:

• Shear Limited Seismic Anchor Screw steel capacity
•  Tension limited by pull-out capacity
• No edge or spacing effects
• f’c = 32 MPa
