Step 1:-
Ensure eye protection is worn.
Drill correct hole size & embedment depth.*1
Step 2:-
Just before setting the ChemMates™ anchor the bore hole MUST be thoroughly cleaned and free of dust and debris.
This can be done by 2 methods dependent upon the hole size and depth:-
a) Manual Air Cleaning for all hole diameters ≤ 24mm and bore depth ≤ 10 x the diameter of the steel member (threaded rod or rebar)
The Ideal Fasteners manual pump shall be used for blowing out bore holes up to diameters ≤24mm and embedment depths up to ≤ 10 x the diameter of the steel member.
• Blow out at least 4 times from the back of the bore hole, using an extension if needed.
• Brush 4 times with the specified brush size (see Table B1) by inserting the Ideal Fasteners steel brush to the back of the hole (if needed with an extension) in a twisting motion and removing it.
• Blow out again with manual pump at least 4 times.
b) Compressed Air Cleaning for all bore hole diameters and all bore hole depths
• Blow 2 times from the back of the hole (if needed with a nozzle extension) over the whole length with oil-free compressed air (min. 6 bar at 6 m'/h).
• Brush 2 times with the specified brush size by inserting the Ideal Fasteners steel brush to the back of the hole (if needed with an extension) in a twisting motion and removing it.
• Blow out again with compressed air at least 2 times
Step 3:-
If fixing in hollow material use IDEAL plastic mesh sleeves.
Step 4:-
Remove the threaded cap from the cartridge.
Step 5:-
Tightly attach the mixing nozzle. Do not modify the mixer in any way. Make sure the mixing element is inside the mixer. Use only the supplied mixer.
Step 6:-
Insert the cartridge into the Ideal Fasteners dispenser gun. For the 300ml cartridges a standard silicone gun may be used.
Step 7:-
Pull the trigger and reject first 5 to 10cm until a homogenous colour is achieved, this ensures the two components are fully mixed.
Step 8:-
Fill the hole uniformly starting from bottom, slowly withdrawing the mixer with each trigger pull. Ensure no air pockets exist.
Fill holes approximately 2/3 full to ensure that the annular gap between the anchor and the concrete is completely filled with adhesive along the embedment depth once the steel member is inserted. For deep holes >240mm, use extension tubes & piston plugs.
Step 9:-
Before use, verify that the threaded rod is dry and free of contaminants. Immediately insert rod with a slow, twisting motion, remove excess resin from top of hole.
Follow working and curing times*1. DO NOT move or load anchor until fully cured*1.
