Before you start

  • Use the exact manufacturer system, approved submittal, load table, anchor type, cable size, bracket, locking device, installation tool, and attachment method for the project. Do not mix components or guess a working load.
  • Confirm concrete strength, slab thickness, embedded systems, anchor type, hole size and depth, edge distance, load, and installation method.
  • Scan or verify the drilling zone for post-tension cables, rebar, conduit, and embedded hazards.
  • Inspect anchors and tools before drilling.
  • Do not substitute an anchor because the approved one is unavailable.

Tools and materials

Approved concrete anchor, correct drill and bit, depth stop, hole-cleaning equipment, setting tool, cable and lock, level, tape, PPE, dust control, and lift.

Lay it out

  1. Mark approved anchor locations and minimum clearances.
  2. Coordinate around embedded systems.
  3. Keep cable drops plumb or at the approved angle.

Set and support it

  1. Drill only after the location is cleared.
  2. Prepare and clean the hole exactly as required.
  3. Install and set the anchor with the approved tool.

Make the connection

  1. 1

    Verify the anchor location and substrate.

  2. 2

    Drill the correct diameter and depth.

  3. 3

    Clean the hole using the required sequence.

  4. 4

    Install and set the anchor.

  5. 5

    Attach the cable and lock.

  6. 6

    Adjust to elevation and load gradually.

  7. 7

    Inspect for movement, cracking, or incomplete setting.

Check the install

  • The correct anchor is installed in approved concrete.
  • Hole depth and cleaning match the installation method.
  • No embedded system was damaged.
  • The anchor remains secure under load.
  • The cable and lock are fully engaged.

Common mistakes

  • Skipping hole cleaning.
  • Drilling without checking for post-tension or embedded services.
  • Using the wrong bit or depth.
  • Mixing anchor hardware and cable components.

Stop and ask

Stop if concrete strength, slab thickness, embedded hazards, anchor type, edge distance, hole preparation, or load cannot be verified.
