NOTE: The holding power of any anchor is often only as strong as the surrounding material that it is set into, ensure that the load
required is not greater than the safe working load as quoted.
The EasyDrive™ Anchor must not be used overhead in a direct tension loaded situation, as there is a possibility of the mushroom
head shearing off under load, e.g. air conditioning duct support straps, suspended ceiling applications or other suspension type applications.
Installation
To install, follow the three step principle which applies to most of our masonry anchor systems.
- Drill a neat hole into the work surface, using the fixture to be fastened as a template. Ensure that you drill the hole 8mm deeper than the embedment depth of the anchor to allow for the expansion nail to protrude through the end of the anchor. Clean out all surplus residue and dust from the hole.
- Insert and press fully home the EasyDrive™ Anchor through the material being fastened up to the anchor collar.
- After the anchor sleeve has been pressed fully home, drive the expansion nail, using a screw or hammer, until the head of the nail is flush into the mushroom head.
