How to Use / Installation Guide

1. Mark the Fixing Point
Mark the exact point where the wedge anchor bolt will be installed. Ensure the position is correct before drilling.

2. Drill the Hole
Use the correct drill bit size according to the anchor diameter. Drill into a strong concrete, stone or solid brick surface.

3. Clean the Hole
Remove dust and debris from the hole using a blower, brush or air pump. A clean hole gives better grip.

4. Insert the Anchor Bolt
Place the wedge anchor bolt through the item being fixed and into the drilled hole.

5. Tap into Position
Use a hammer to gently tap the anchor into the hole until it sits properly.

6. Tighten the Nut
Tighten the nut using a spanner or socket. As it tightens, the wedge expands inside the hole and grips the concrete firmly.

7. Check Stability
Confirm that the fixed item is firm and stable before applying load.

Important Installation Tips

Use only on strong concrete, stone or solid brick surfaces.

Do not use on weak blocks, hollow blocks or cracked concrete unless approved by a qualified installer.

Drill the correct hole depth and diameter for secure fixing.

Clean the hole before inserting the anchor.

Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the anchor or base material.

For outdoor use, confirm the finish and apply anti-rust protection if necessary.

For heavy-duty or safety-critical installations, consult a qualified technician or engineer.

Maintenance

Store in a dry place to reduce rusting.

Keep bolts away from water and chemicals before installation.

For outdoor installations, inspect periodically for rust or loosening.

Tighten carefully if movement is noticed.

Replace damaged or corroded anchor bolts early.

Avoid reusing anchor bolts for critical load applications.
