All American Anchors comply with these industry standards:
Meets City of Los Angeles Approval REF: 25109
Meets or exceeds G.S.A. Standards G.S.A. FF-S-325, Group V, Type 2, Class 2
Meets load factors in compliance with A.N.SI. A58.1
Meets plating standards in compliance with A.S.T.M. B-633
Products tested in accordance with A.S.T.M. E-488.88
Tests conducted by CTI Engineering - Walnut Creek, CA 1993
A safety factor of 4:1, or 25% of ultimate, should be used. Critical applications (vibratory loads,
overhead installations, etc.) may require a safety factor of as much as 10:1, or more.
Installation Procedure
- Drill hole of sufficient depth using same diameter DFS Bit as anchor
being installed.
- Turn nut on anchor as required. May be flush with top or turned on fully
to provide stud finish.
- With nut, washer, and set-pin in place, insert anchor into hole.
- Using a proper sized hammer, set pin with several sharp and square
strikes on head of pin until pin is flush with top of anchor. Anchor is now
properly set.
- No need to torque nut to set anchor.
WARNING: Wear eye protection.
