SELECTING AN ANCHOR FOR YOUR APPLICATION
NOTE: “Fixture” refers to the item being attached to the concrete.
Wedge anchors
The minimum length necessary of a wedge anchor for an application is
calculated by adding the thickness of the material being fastened/anchored to
the ground plus the minimum embedment depth for the diameter of wedge anchor
used plus space for the nut and washer. Space allocated for the nut and washer
is generally equal to the diameter of the wedge anchor used. The formula looks
like this:
F + E + N = ML
F = fixture thickness; E = embedment depth; N = nut & washer thickness; ML =
minimum recommended anchor length. All variables must have be expressed in the
same units.
For example, to anchor a piece of 4×4 timber to a concrete surface with a 1/2”
wedge anchor the minimum length of wedge anchor would be 3.5” (F) + 2.25”(E) +
0.5”(N; space for nut and washer estimated as diameter of anchor) = 6.25”
(ML). The minimum length of 1/2” diameter wedge anchor to use for this
application would be 6.25”.
The depth of the hole in the concrete necessary for a wedge anchor should be
at least the overall length of the anchor minus the thickness of the
material/fixture being fastened to concrete.
Sleeve anchors
The minimum length of a sleeve anchor required for a particular application is
calculated by adding 1) The thickness of the material being fastened to
concrete; 2) The minimum embedment depth, and 3) The thickness of the nut and
washer together. The formula for sleeve anchor length is the same as the
formula for calculating wedge anchor length: F + E + N = ML. The depth of the
hole in the concrete for a sleeve anchor should, at minimum, be the overall
length of the anchor minus the thickness of the material/fixture being
fastened to the concrete.
INSTALLING ANCHOR BOLTS
NOTE: If the anchor must be installed through a hole in a fixture, make
sure that the fixture hole diameter is larger than the diameter of the wedge
anchor being used. The SPECIFICATIONS table on p. 3 provides a “Fixture hole
diameter” figure for each anchor bolt model number.
- Drill a hole in the concrete for each anchor bolt using a hammer drill in hammer mode. Use of a solid carbide-tipped drill bit that meets ANSI standard B212.15 is recommended. The diameter of the drill bit must match the “Thread/sleeve diameter” in the SPECIFICATIONS table (above) of the anchor being installed.
- Be sure that the shank of the drill bit is clean before installing it in the drill chuck.
- The drill bit must firmly seat in the chuck.
- Drill holes perpendicularly to the concrete surface. The drill must not wobble while drilling. If a hole is not straight, the anchor will not embed properly.
- Do not ream out an anchor hole.
- Do not drill beyond the fluting of the drill bit.
- Remove debris/dust in stages as each hole is drilled.
- Do not pour water into the hole while drilling.
- Avoid impenetrable objects, like rebar, embedded in the concrete which could damage or destroy the drill bit.
- Do not attempt to realign an off-center hole, or straighten/change the direction of a hole.
- Drill the hole for the anchor. The depth of the hole in the concrete for either a wedge anchor or a sleeve anchor should, at minimum, be the overall length of the anchor minus the thickness of the material/fixture being fastened to the concrete.
- Use a wire brush, compressed air, and/or a vacuum to remove all debris & dust from the hole. Debris/dust removal should occur in stages as each hole is drilled.
- Wind the hex nut onto the threaded end of your anchor. The top of the nut must be flush with the top of the anchor in order to protect the threads from damage during installation.
- Insert the bottom of the anchor (the end opposite the hex nut) into the selected hole.
- Strike the nut of the anchor with a hammer to drive the anchor into the hole. Drive the anchor into the hole until at least 6 threads are below the surface of the concrete or the surface of the item being attached.
- Finger tighten the nut.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the nut to the torque value that corresponds to the diameter of your anchor. Torque specifications are provided for each model number in the TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table on p. 3.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
Immediately after installing your anchors, make a record of their condition
and operation. Indicate the embedment depth and the torque specification used
to install each anchor. Photograph the anchors. Take close range photographs
of the nuts, the portions of the equipment/fixture anchored to the floor
around the anchors, and the concrete surface around the anchors. Collect all
writings and photographs in a file. This file is a record of the anchors in
SATISFACTORY CONDITION. Compare all inspection results to this RECORD to
determine if the anchors are in satisfactory condition. Replace all anchors
that are not in satisfactory condition.
INSPECTIONS
Inspections and repairs should only be performed by qualified persons. Compare
the results of each inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (the
“RECORD”). Do not use the anchored equipment/fixture unless all anchors are in
satisfactory condition. Replace anchors that are not in satisfactory condition
before returning the equipment/fixture to service. DON’T GUESS! If you have
any questions about the condition of an anchor, speak with TECHNICAL SERVICE
personnel. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual.
Never make temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts. Only use
manufacturer-approved replacement parts. Inspect the anchored
equipment/fixture according to the inspections & maintenance instructions in
the applicable owner’s manual. Perform those inspections in conjunction with
the following instructions. At least once per month, or more frequently as
instructed in the owner’s manual of the anchored equipment/fixture, closely
examine each anchor and nut for significant wear, bends, cracks, corrosion or
rust. Confirm that each anchor is tightened to the correct specification. The
anchor hole and concrete around the periphery must not be damaged, chipped,
damp, crumbly, distorted, or elongated. Anchors must not be able to wobble
inside the anchor hole. Anchors must not be able to slide up/down to any
degree when tightened to the appropriate torque specification.
MAINTENANCE
The following steps should be utilized in conjunction with inspections.
- Step 1: Tag the equipment/fixture, “Out of Service.”
- Step 2: Remove any dirt or other matter from all anchor surfaces, the concrete around each anchor, and the parts of the equipment/fixture in around the point of contact with an anchor.
- Step 3: Conduct the scheduled INSPECTION.
- Step 4: Perform all necessary adjustments, replacements and/or repairs as indicated during the inspection.
- Step 5: Make a dated record of all repairs, adjustments and/or replacements.
