220V epoxy anchor?

I'm not sure how we got from a 220 volt switch discussion to anchors but since I'm revisiting this thread it's time to throw my 2 cents worth in again so here's the scoop.

There are lots of epoxies on the market that are good and there are also some mechanical anchors that perform as well as some of the epoxies on the market.

The most important aspect of the holding power of either style of anchor and the one most often overlooked is the cleanliness of the hole. I've seen a lot of epoxy anchors pull out of dirty holes and I've seen an equal number of mechanical anchors fail for the same reason.

Be sure and drill the correct size hole for the anchor and blow all holes clean with compressed air before installing. The squeeze bulb type "puffers" for cleaning holes just won't do the job in many applications.

^^^What he said!!!^^^

Try some of these:
http://www.ramset-redhead.com/
http://www.sikaconstruction.com/

For more sources and listings of applications:
http://www.azdot.gov/TPD/ATRC/PDF/APL_0106.pdf

These listings from state governments are nice. I guess it is a way of getting back some information for those taxes we pay.

Beemer ya big STUD!!! -hehe

I don't know enuf about the systems to advise you.

I worked with a lot of epoxies and other adhesives years ago. I have two gallons of excellent 24 hour cure epoxy in my basement. That stuff lasts forever. Even tho I have two gallons it is still easier to buy it in small quantities in those siamese tube applicators. It looks like ramset may not be selling the glass tube type applicators anymore. I thought that was a neat idea.

That's what I was thinking, where's the glass test tubes with liquid and gravel looking things inside on RamSet's page. You don't want a case of them in a box and throw a flat 9.50 x 16.5 wheel onto them as you'll have a nice mess the next day, I did once but it was a company truck. Glass and goo what a mess.
