Installation Tips
1.Requires an SDS-Max rotary hammer — SDS-Plus cannot reliably drill 5/8" in hard concrete
2.Minimum edge distance: 3-1/8" (5× diameter)
3.Minimum anchor spacing: 6-1/4" (10× diameter)
4.Torque to exactly 95 ft-lbs — use a calibrated torque wrench for structural applications
5.Engineer review required for seismic SDC C and above
