Installation for Concrete Wedge Anchors:
1)
Drill a
3
/8" (10) diameter hole any depth
exceeding the minimum embedment. Clean
t
he hole or continue drilling additional
depth to accommodate drill fines. Use a
carbide drill bit manufactured within ANSI

Assemble the washer and nut flush with the
end of anchor to protect threads. Drive the
anchor through the material to be fastened
until the washer is flush with the surface
material.
3)
Expand the anchor by tightening the nut
3–5 turns past hand-tight position or to 25
foot-pounds of torque.
