3. Standard anchors: Use a 1/2" (12 mm) diameter carbide-tipped masonry
bit to drill four holes at least 2-3/4" (70 mm) deep into the floor. Be sure to
take into account the depth of any floor covering, such as tile or vinyl when
gauging the depth of the anchor holes. Make sure the holes are drilled at
least 2- 3/4" into the concrete floor.
2. Use a 1/4" (6 mm) diameter carbide-
tipped masonry bit to drill four pilot
holes at the drilling points marked
in the previous step. Drill the pilot
holes approximately 1/2" (12 mm)
deep into the floor. These holes
will help guide the masonry bit that
will be used to drill the anchor-bolt
holes in the next step.
Drill anchor holes
4. Use a portable vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris that may have
fallen into the holes during the drilling process.
CONCRETE STRENGTH
The floor at the installation loca-
tion should consist of commercial-
grade concrete measuring at least
2000 psi in compression strength.
The full effectiveness of the
mounting anchors depends upon
meeting this specification! Check
with the contractor/builder or
owner of the installation to verify
that this requirement can be sat-
isfied.
TOOL USE/SAFETY
Observe ALL safety precautions
for operating hand and power
tools! Wear eye and ear protection
while operating the electric drill!
3a. Chemical anchors: Use a 15 mm (9/16") diameter carbide-tipped masonry
bit to drill four holes at least 115 mm (4-1/2") deep into the floor. Be sure to
take into account the depth of any floor covering, such as tile or vinyl when
gauging the depth of the anchor holes. Make sure the holes are drilled at
least 4- 1/2-inches) into the concrete floor.
Blow out dust/debris.
