Technical Specifications

Hurricane Shutter Insert Anchors technical specifications must be considered to ensure that the correct anchor is used for each application. Certain power tool types and bits must be used in combination to guarantee correct fastening. These fasteners provide outstanding performance and sits flush with no outer voids. Hurricane inserts resist back out and are corrosion resistant. They come in two different lengths - one hurricane anchor works better with stucco exteriors while the other works better when using non-stucco materials. Choose from a variety of pull-out values and embedments to meet any anchoring need.

*1 Testing was done with pilot hole drilled using corded rotary hammer & 7/16” SDS masonry drill bit.
*2. Testing was done with pilot hole drilled using corded rotary hammer & 7/16” SDS bit. Considerable spalling of block’s wall occurred due to significant percussion developed by the rotary hammer drill.
*3. Testing was done with pilot hole drilled using corded hammer drill & 7/16” carbide tipped masonry drill bit (not SDS bit). This procedure resulted in significantly less spalling of block’s wall.

Note: These test values were achieved in laboratory conditions. Appropriate safety factors should be applied for design purposes.
