Introduction
Product Description
The nominal diameter of the Power-Bolt anchor is the same as that for
the hole, which eliminates layout or hole-spotting. As the anchor is
driven into the hole, the slotted, over-sized annular ring on the bottom
of the cone is compressed until it mates perfectly with the hole. This
action prevents the anchor from spinning as it is being tightened.

Tighten the anchor by turning the head 3 to 4 turns or by applying the
guide installation torque from the finger tight position.
NOTE: The load capacities listed above are allowable loads based on laboratory testing in
accordance with ASTM E-488. Testing is based on un-reinforced concrete to simulate a worst
case scenario. The allaowable working load capacities above are based on applying a safety
factor of 4 to the ultimate (failure) load capacities.

Design Criteria
Base Material Thickness
The minimum recommended thickness of base material, BMT, when using the Power-Bolt is
125% of the embedment to be used. For example, when installing an anchor to a depth of
100mm, the base material thickness should be 125mm.
should be used. The minimum recommended anchor spacing, S, is 5 anchor diameters (5d) at
which point the load should be reduced by 50%. The following table lists the load reduction
factor; Rs, for each anchor diameter, d, based on the centre to centre anchor spacing.

These high bearing stresses cause the concrete in the area of 80 SOUTH AUSTRALIA:

of the anchor. This slight movement causes a reduction of preload 60

and a corresponding reduction in the measured torque. Industry
