Description

The Ultra-Drop Drop In Anchor that requires relatively shallow embedment.  It also eliminates the requirement for rod couplings in overhead applications.  This anchor is highly dependable and has complete anchor setting assurance.  All you need to do is simply drive the internal expander plug in with a hammer and mallet.

Key Features and Benefits

• Requires relatively shallow embedment
• Eliminates requirement for rod couplings in overhead applications
• Highly dependable – complete anchor setting is assured
• Simply drive the internal expander plug with a hammer or mallet
• Available options
  – Lipped version: sets flush with concrete
  – Mini drop-in anchors: ideal for hollow core, precast and post-tension slabs
• The 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″ and 3/4″ diameters now feature knurling

Installation Instructions

1. Select the proper size drill bit from the Maximum Tensile Chart on the Tech Specs tab. Drill the hole perpendicular to the work surface. To assure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble.
2. Drill the hole at least as deep as the full length of the anchor, but not closer than two anchor diameters to the bottom (opposite) surface of the concrete.
3. Clean the hole using compressed air and a nylon brush.
4. Tap the anchor, threaded portion last, into the hole. Make sure that the top of the anchor is flush with, or below, the level of the work surface.
5. Insert the setting tool into the threaded end of the anchor and expand the anchor by striking the end of the setting tool with a hammer. The anchor is set (fully expanded) when the shoulder of the setting tool touches the anchor. Full expansion is necessary for proper anchor performance.
6. The anchor is now ready to accept threaded hardware.

NOTE: Always wear safety glasses. Follow drill manufacturer's instructions. Use only solid carbide-tipped drill bits meeting ANSI B212.15 diameter standards.
