Anchor Installation: Core-drill Retro-fit

Your deck MUST have:

• Minimum footing size: 4' - 0" x 4' - 0" x 10" thick.

• Minimum concrete strength: 2500 psi

• Reinforcement: #5 rebar @ 10" on center (O.C.)

TOOLS REQUIRED:

CORE DRILL

3" CORE DRILL BIT

1 1/2" CORE DRILL BIT

EPOXY (ANCHOR ADHESIVE)*

*Use HILTI RE-500-SD adhesive anchor or SIMPSON SET-XP

anchor adhesive or equivalant.

NOTE: Your local codes may require one or more permits. Check with your local building codes for the proper

permit requirements.

Mark the center of the anchor location on your deck using the guidelines on page 4. Also

mark the center for the fixing anchor 3 1/2" from the center anchor.

Using a 3" diameter core-drill bit, drill a 3" diameter hole at the anchor location. Make sure

to keep the bit square to the deck. Drill straight down to a depth of at least 6". Then use a 1

1/2" drill bit for the fixing anchor, drilling down at least 4"

NOTE: Create a depth marker on the drill bit with black electrical tape to make sure you drill to the right depth.

If you drill through the deck you may need to use the saw-cut installation instructions.

Remove plug and clean out the holes with a wire brush. Insert an air nozzle to the bottom

of the hole. Use a pump or compressed air to blow out the hole. A heat-gun may be helpful

in drying out the hole.
