Benefits, Advantages and Features

Design according to AS5216 (formerly TS101) and European
design method EN 1992-4 (formerly ETAG001 Annex C & TR045)
• Highest level of European approval for for TruBolt™ Xtrem™ & Fire Rated Dynamic loading
TruBolt™ A4 316 SS
• Approved for all directions (floor, wall, overhead)
• Maximum Tensile & Shear capacities in cracked concrete
• Zinc Plating 5µm, A4 316 SS and Hot Dip Galvanised
• Anchor diameters M10 to M20 Principal Applications
• Anchoring into cracked & non cracked concrete
Suitable for structural loads: • Structural Steel columns & beams
• “True to size” through fixture anchor • Road barrier hold down
Improved security: • Bridge refurbishment
• Torque induced pull down closes gaps and induces preload. • Road & Rail tunnel construction
• Wall Plates
Resistant to cyclic loading: • Safety barriers
• Heavy duty sleeve with pull-down of fixture • Stadium seating
• Anti rotation expansion sleeve • Pallet racking
Fast installation: • Shallow embedment depths from 50mm
• Anchor diameter equals hole diameter • Intended working life of the anchor of 50 years
• Shallow embedment depths
• Through fixing eliminates marking out and repositioning of fixtures.

Installation

1 2 3

1. Drill or core a hole to the recommended diameter (same as the

TruBolt™ Xtrem™) and depth using the fixture as a template.
Clean the hole thoroughly with a hole cleaning brush. Remove the
debris with a hand pump, compressed air, or vacuum.
2. Insert the anchor through the fixture and drive with a hammer until the
washer contacts the fixture.
3. Tighten the nut with a torque wrench to the specified assembly torque.

* For shear loads acting towards an edge or where optimum dimensions are not achievable, please use the simplified strength limit state design process to verify capacity
** Data is based on optimal dimensions, anchor spacing = 3*h, edge distance = 1.5*h
** Reduced characteristic ultimate concrete tensile capacity = φNuc where φφ = 0.67 and Nuc = Characteristic ultimate concrete tensile capacity.
For conversion to Working Load Limit MULTIPLY φNuc x 0.50
For Cracked Concrete performance, please use the simplified strength limit state design process to verify capacity.
