300550 SleeveMates® - Countersunk Head, Zinc & Galv.

SleeveMatesâ„¢ are a general purpose medium duty anchor for fixing into concrete, solid brick or concrete block. A proven performer and easy to install. The sleeve tightening in the hole as the anchor is set provides a positive "feel" to the installer as to when the anchor is fully set. Select Zinc Plated (ZP) for internal use and Galvanised (Galv.) for external use.

Step 1:-
Select the correct size IDEAL Fasteners Carbide drill bit for your chosen diameter and length of SleeveMatesâ„¢ anchor.

Step 2:-
Using a Rotary Hammer tool or a suitable Impact tool, drill a hole into the concrete or masonry substrate to a depth of at least that of your maximum intended embedment depth of the SleeveMatesâ„¢ anchor PLUS an additional depth of at least 1 to 1.5 times the diameter of the specific SleeveMatesâ„¢ anchor being used.
Avoid drilling the hole too close to the edge of the masonry as the expansion action of the anchor during installation may cause splitting of the masonry.

Step 3:-
Ensure the hole is clean of all dust and/or contaminants that may obstruct the insertion of the anchor to the required depth. Using a blow pump or vacuum and/or a wire brush is ideal if the dust cannot be sufficiently removed with the drill bit.

Step 4:-
Ensure the material or fixture being attached has a clearance hole wide enough to allow the shank of the anchor to pass through unobstructed.

Step 5:-
Check the nut and sleeve on the SleeveMatesâ„¢are firmly touching but that no expansion of the sleeve has yet occurred.

Step 6:-
Position the fixture against the substrate with the clearance hole aligned with the drilled hole in the substrate.
Place the SleeveMatesâ„¢ anchor through the clearance hole and into the hole in the substrate and ensure the minimum embedment depth into the substrate is achieved, if needed a hammer may be used until the head of the anchor contacts the fixture.

Step 7:-
Ensure the correct size driver tool is attached to your hand tool, power drill or driver and place it onto the head of the SleeveMatesâ„¢ anchor.

Step 8:-
Tighten the fastener until the connection is a snug fit between the fastener head, the fixture and the substrate and then nip up until firmly secured. DO NOT overtighten the SleeveMatesâ„¢ anchor when seating it home.
• Typical applications include attaching brackets, gates, timber battens etc to concrete, brickwork, masonry etc.,
• Not recommended for use with hollow brick or hollow block.
