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
- 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.
- Using a socket wrench, screw the AnkaScrew ™ Xtrem ™ into the hole using slight pressure until the self tapping action starts.
- 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.
