Installation Instructions
The installation of wedge anchors can be completed in the five steps outlined below. Thunderstud anchors perform best when used in heavy duty, solid concrete applications. For safety purposes, when installing concrete fasteners, it is important to use the correct carbide bit to ensure proper setting. To determine the correct wedge anchor length for the job, add material thickness and minimum embedment. Step by Step Anchor Installation Instructions follow:
| 1. Drill hole 1/2 ” deeper than wedge anchor embedment using a carbide
tipped bit. (Hole size is wedge anchor
size). |
 |
| 2. Clean out hole. |
| 3. Place nut on the end of wedge anchor (protects threads during installation). |
| 4. Hammer wedge anchor into hole deep enough so that threads are below
surface of base material. |
 |
| 5. Tighten nut turning approximately three or four full turns. |
