Why does drop-in anchor depth matter before setting hanger rods?

A drop-in anchor must sit fully in the drilled hole before it can be set correctly. If it sticks proud or bottoms out, redrill/clean the hole before loading it.

['The journeyman tells you to drill holes for ceiling hangers. You get tired of drilling into tough concrete, so you stop short, leaving the holes frac{1}{2}\\text{-inch} shallower than the drop-in anchor shield length and leaving the anchor sticking out past the deck face.', 'A drop-in anchor must sit fully in the drilled hole before it can be set correctly. If it sticks proud or bottoms out, redrill/clean the hole before loading it. The likely recovery is to check the condition, correct prep/setup if it is within your assignment, and bring the foreman clean information before the work creates rework overhead.']
