ANCHORING

Note:

The anchor bolts must be installed at least 8” from

any crack, edge, or expansion joint. Recheck the

area around both base plates.

Use a concrete hammer drill with a 3/4 inch

carbide bit. Tip diameter should conform to ANSI

Standard B212.15 (.775 to .787). Do not use

excessively worn bits or bits which have been

incorrectly sharpened. A core bit may be

necessary if an obstruction is encountered. Never

substitute with shorter anchor.

8) Recheck “Inside of Columns” dimension (Fig. 1).

9) Using the base plate as a template, drill one

anchor hole. Drill through the floor if possible or

to a depth of 5 inches minimum.

10) Clean the hole inside and out.

11) Assemble a washer and nut to the anchor with

nut just below impact section of bolt. Drive the

anchor into the hole until the nut is 3/4” above

the baseplate (leaving room for shims).

Complete steps 9 thru 11 for the five (5) anchors

(one at a time) around each column.
