piece wrap around clip.
Threaded end is chamfered for ease of starting
nut.
Most sizes feature full thread for added
versatility.
CODES: ICBO ER-3631;
SBCCI 9706; City of L.A. RR24682; Dade County 01–0820.06; Factory Mutual
1M6AO.AH; Underwriters Laboratories File Ex3605; multiple DOT listings.
Meets requirements
of Federal Specifications A–A–1923A, Type 4.
The Load Tables list values based upon results
from the most recent testing and
may not reflect those in current code reports. Where code
jurisdictions apply,
consult the current reports for applicable load values.
TEST CRITERIA: The anchor has been tested in accordance with ICBO's Acceptance
Criteria
for Expansion Anchors in Concrete and Masonry Elements (AC01). ICBO report
ER-3631 recognizes the Wedge–All for the following:

Critical and Minimum Edge Distance and Spacing.
MATERIAL:
Carbon and stainless steel.
FINISH:
Carbon steel anchors are available zinc plated or mechanically galvanized.
SUGGESTED
SPECIFICATIONS:
Wedge anchors shall be a threaded stud with an integral cone
expander and
a single piece expansion clip. The stud shall be carbon steel with a
minimum
70,000 psi tensile strength, or type 303, 304 or 316 stainless
steel, as called for on the drawings.
Anchors shall meet Federal
Specification A–A–1923A, Type 4.


DROP IN ANCHOR
Drop-in anchors are internally threaded
deformation controlled expansion anchors with a preassembled expander plug,
suitable for flush mount applications in solid base materials.

General
Information
|
Drop-in anchors are internally threaded
deformation controlled expansion anchors with a preassembled expander
plug, suitable for flush mount applications in solid base materials. The
anchor is set by driving the expansion plug towards the bottom of the
anchor using the setting tool. Drop-in anchors are also available in
coil-threaded versions for 1/2" and 3/4" coil threaded rod. The
3/8" Short Drop-In Anchor (DIA37S) is an internally threaded drop-in
anchor for use in solid and hollow concrete. The short length permits
shallow embedment, thus avoiding drilling into rebar or prestressing
strands. The wide surface flange allows the DIA37S to be installed in deep
or bottomless holes.
MATERIAL: Carbon and
stainless steel (DIA37S available in zinc plated carbon steel only).
FINISH: Carbon Steel: Zinc
plated.

INSTALLATION:
 | Drill
a hole in the base material using a carbide tipped bit the same
diameter as the nominal diameter of the anchor to be installed.
Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth plus 1/2" to
allow room for the dust to settle. Alternatively, drill the hole to
the specified embedment depth and blow it clean using compressed
air. Overhead installations need not be blown clean.
|
|
|
|
Caution:
Oversized holes will make it difficult to set the anchor and will
reduce the anchor's load capacity.
|
 | Insert
anchor into hole. Tap with hammer until flush against surface.
|
 | Using
the Drop-In setting tool, drive expander plug towards the bottom of
the anchor until shoulder of setting tool makes contact with the top
of the anchor.
