e. Installing Concrete Anchors
To determine anchor locations, please refer to the following section for your specific
equipment to be anchored.
Tools Required (customer supplied):
Tape measure
Anchor setting tool or punch with a 5/16” diameter & 1.5” long end
5/8” diameter carbide tipped concrete drill bit
Hammer drill
3/4” or 19mm Socket, Extension and Ratchet
Hammer
Shop Vacuum for fine dust
SAFETY GLASSES, TO BE WORN DURING DRILLING, ANCHOR INSTALLATION AND
SETTING!
NEVER PLACE A FLOOR ANCHOR INTO A SEAM/CRACK, OR AN AREA WITHIN 9”
FROM A SEAM/CRACK OR OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE CONCRETE FLOOR.
1. With the 5/8” carbide drill bit installed in the Hammer drill, drill
a hole into the concrete to 2 inches depth (+1/8”).
2. Use a shop vacuum or turkey baster to remove all dust and
concrete chips out of the holes. Ensure the hole depth is at
least 2 inches (+1/8”).
3. Turn a hex head bolt 3 full turns into a floor anchor, and insert
it into the drilled hole (Fig. 5).
4. Use the hammer to tap the top of the bolt until the floor anchor
is flush with or just below the top of the concrete (Fig. 5).
5. Remove the hex head bolt, proceed to set the anchor and lock
it in place.
THE STEP OF LOCKING OR SETTING THE ANCHORS
IS CRITICAL. ENSURE THAT IT IS DONE CORRECTLY
(FIG. 6)!
6. Using a punch or setting tool (customer supplied), set the floor
anchor by striking the plunger in the center of the floor anchor.
Strike the setting tool or punch with a hammer repeatedly, to
expand the anchor in the hole (Fig. 6).
WHEN SECURING EQUIPMENT TO FLOOR ANCHORS
USING BOLTS, A TORQUE VALUE OF 20 FT LBS IS RECOMMENDED.
