Manual Installation:

1. Drill a hole in the base material using the appropriate diameter carbide drill bit or fixed depth bit as specified. Drill the hole to the specified embedment. For fixed depth bits drill the hole until the shoulder of the bit contacts the surface of the base material. Then blow the hole clean of dust and debris using compressed air. Overhead installations need not be blown clean.
2. Insert the anchor into the hole. Tap with hammer until flush against the surface.
3. Using the designated Drop-In setting tool, drive expander plug towards the bottom of the anchor until the shoulder of the setting tool makes contact with the top of the anchor. When properly set 4 indentations will be visible on the top of the anchor indicating full expansion.
4. Insert bolt or threaded rod. Minimum thread engagement should be equal to the nominal diameter of the threaded insert.

SDS Installation:

1. Drill a hole in the base material using the appropriate diameter carbide drill bit or fixed depth bit as specified. Drill the hole to the specified embedment. For fixed depth bits drill the hole until the shoulder of the bit contacts the surface of the base material. Then blow the hole clean of dust and debris using compressed air. Overhead installations need not be blown clean.
2. Insert the anchor into the hole. Tap with hammer until flush against the surface.
3. Attach the SDS Drop-In setting tool to a drill. Drive expander plug towards the bottom of the anchor using only hammer mode until the shoulder of the setting tool makes contact with the top of the anchor.
