STEP 6

INSTALLATION OF POWER DROP ANCHORS

1. Before proceeding, double check location and measurements, make

certain that the base plates of each column are aligned with the chalk/

crayon lines. The concrete must be minimum of 4" (101mm) thick with a

minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi (20 MPa). FOLLOW

PROCEEDURE EXACTLY FOR PROPER FITTING AND ALIGNMENT

OF ANCHORS. (See gure 10)

2. Use the squared-up base plate on the column as a guide. Using a

rotary hammer drill with a 7/8" concrete bit, drill out each hole in the

column to the minimum depth of 5". Do not ream the hole or allow the

drill to wobble. When removing the bit be careful not to move the

columns. Having someone secure or stand on the columns can be helpful.

Repeat for all holes on both columns and move the columns out of the way.

After drilling, thoroughly clean hole using a vacuum cleaner or compressed

air and a nylon brush. (See gure 11)

3. Set the anchor embedment depth: Fully thread the 5/8"

Setting Tool (sacricial hex bolt) with assembled nut and

washer into the anchor. Set the distance between the top of

the anchor and the bottom of the nut/washer to 5/8".

(See gure 12)

4. After setting the nut/spacer, place the anchor into the hole

and hammer downward on the setting tool until the nut and

washer makes contact with the surface of the concrete.

(See gure 13)

5. To set the anchor tighten the nut while holding the bolt

head (to assure the anchor does not spin in place) Do not

use an impact wrench for this step. Tighten 3 full turns to

reach an installation torque of 90 ft-lbs.

(See gure 14)

NOTE: Always wear safety glasses.

Follow drill manufacturer’s instructions.

Use only solid carbide-tipped drill bits

meeting ANSI B212.15 diameter

standards.

anchor with compressed air to remove any concrete dust from

the threads.
