for the concrete anchors. It is suggested that a
standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill
the hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out
the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity . Do
not drill into mortar joints!
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete
covered with plaster, drywall or other finishing material.
If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a
finishing surface is unavoidable, the finishing surface
must be counterbored.
• Tighten concrete anchor bolt firmly , but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the bolt, greatly
reducing its holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).
