CONFAST 1/2

Applications the anchor is made from carbon steel, and is hot-dipped galvanized. This anchor is designed for use in concrete only, and should never be used in block or brick base material. Environment the anchor is designed for use in a damp environment. Hole diameter/bit diameter the anchor requires a 1/2in hole to be drilled in the base material concrete only. The hole should be drilled with carbide tipped bit that meets ansi standards and used in a hammer drill. Diameter of anchor the diameter of the anchor is 1/2in. Length anchor the length of the anchor is 12in thread length the length of the threads on the anchor is 4in in length. Minimum embedment the minimum anchor embedment into the concrete is 2-1/4in. Therefore, the anchor must be installed so that a minimum of 2-1/4in of the anchor is embedded into the concrete. Maximum fixture thickness the maximum fixture thickness or the maximum thickness of the material being fastened for a anchor is 9-1/4in. This will ensure that the minimum embedment of 2-1/4in will be met. Fixture hole diameter the hole in the fixture or material being fastened must be larger than the designated diameter of the anchor. The 1/2in diameter anchor requires the hole in the fixture to be 5/8in. Spacing between anchors each anchor must be spaced a minimum distance of 5in from each other when measured center to center. Edge distance it is very important not to install the anchor any closer than 2-1/2in from an unsupported edge of the concrete.
