Application Guide: Selecting Fasteners and Loads for Typical Applications

General Notes

  1. Average pin embedment into concrete is 19mm-32mm.
  2. To determine pin length for concrete: add fixture thickness and embedment depths.
  3. To determine pin length for steel applications: add fixture thickness plus steel thickness plus 19mm. Getting the point to pass through steel 19mm maximizes holding strength.
  4. When selecting a load power level, it is recommended to make a test fastening with the lowest power level. If the powder load does not set the fastener, try the next highest load, and so on, until the fastener is properly set.
