306000 SplitMates™ - Mush Head
SplitMates™ are a unique new anchor which offers many benefits including fast and easy installation. It is an economical fastener for medium duty applications fixing into solid concrete, solid brickwork or masonry. They quick and easy to install by using a hammer to drive them into a pre-drilled hole in the substrate. This solid, single piece, hardened steel anchor provides superior strength and holding power and a tamper proof connection.
• Fast and easy to install

Step 1:-
Select the correct size IDEAL Fasteners Carbide drill bit for your chosen diameter and length of SplitMates™ 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 SplitMates™ anchor PLUS an additional depth of at least 1 to 1.5 times the diameter of the specific SplitMates™ 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.
When attaching fixtures of softwoods or similar density materials to the substrate it may be quicker to use the carbide drill bit to drill a pilot hole in the timber at the same time as drilling the substrate provided the dust can be sufficiently removed from the hole and the fixture is not damaged during installation of the anchor.
Step 5:-
Position the fixture against the substrate with the clearance hole or pilot hole aligned with the drilled hole in the substrate.
Place or drive the SplitMates™ anchor through the hole in the fixture and into the hole in the substrate.
Step 6:-
Using a hammer strike the head of the anchor until the head of the anchor contacts the fixture and the connection is tight and secure, ensure the minimum embedment depth into the substrate is achieved.
