INSTALLATION STEPS

Installation Steps in Concrete

1. Using the proper size carbide bit (see chart) drill a pilot hole at least 1" deeper than anchor embedment.

2. Using an electric impact wrench, or socket wrench (hand install) insert anchor into hole and tighten anchor until fully seated. (see chart for socket size)

Installation Steps in Concrete Block (CMU)
(3/8" and 1/2" diameters)

1. Using a 5/16" (for 3/8" LDT) or 7/16" (for 1/2" LDT) carbide tipped bit, drill a pilot hole at least 1" deeper than anchor embedment.

2. Installation Steps for Block Using a socket wrench insert anchor into hole and hand tighten anchor until fully seated. (9/16" socket for 3/8" and 3/4" socket for 1/2")

LDT	Bit Size	Socket Size	Washer Dia.
LDT 3/8"	5/16"	9/16"	13/16"
LDT 1/2"	7/16"	3/4"	1"
LDT 5/8"	1/2"	13/16"	1-13/16"
LDT 3/4"	5/8"	15/16"	1-13/16"

LDT’s can be installed by hand or with an impact wrench

Installation by hand—is easy, simply using a socket wrench

Installation by impact wrench—is recommended for faster installations or for high volume projects. Installation with impact wrench—is not recommended for hollow block.

APPLICATIONS

	Racking, shelving and conveyors are just a few high volume applications ideal for Large Diameter Tapcon (LDT). The ease and speed of installation of the LDT can reduce installation time to less than half the time of typical systems used today. For installation speed, high performance and easy removability, LDT is the anchor of choice.


	The LDT’s finished head and lack of exposed threads virtually eliminates tire damage on fork lift trucks.
