Installation Details – Drilling

1. Consult engineers drawings for hole dimensions; otherwise refer to table 1 (Post Installed Rebar), table 2 (Threaded Bar) and table 3 (Threaded Inserts).
2. Refer to product information in this book for approved drilling methods for each anchoring product. Drill hole to specified dimensions using carbide or diamond core as appropriate.
3. Ramsetâ„¢ Dustless Drilling System is recommended as the fastest most certain method of removing drilling debris and dust and eliminates post-drilling hole cleaning.
4. Otherwise drilling debris and dust must be removed by brushing and blowing out of drilled holes as described below.

Hole Cleaning – Carbide Drilled

Dust removal and cleaning is not required with Ramsetâ„¢ Dustless Drilling System. Drilling debris and dust must be removed from holes drilled with standard carbide as follows:

1. Using Ramsetâ„¢ blower (Part Number HCPHV), compressed air blast or wet / dry vacuum (Ramsetâ„¢ AC1630P), remove dust with 2 swift pumps.
2. Using the appropriate sized brush, with a twisting / rotating motion, insert brush to the bottom of the hole and remove 2 times.
3. Remove remaining dust residue with air blower (2 pumps), compressed air blast or wet / dry vacuum.
4. For non-epoxy products (ChemSetâ„¢ 101, ChemSetâ„¢ 801, StructaSetâ„¢ 401 and UltraFix Plus), repeat steps 2 and 3.

If holes are left for more than 24 hours after cleaning, they must be cleaned again (including holes drilled with Dustless Carbide)

Hole Cleaning – Core Drilled

Remove dust and drilling debris from Diamond Core drilled or as follows:

1. Flush holes with clean running water until water is clear.
2. Using the appropriate sized brush, with a twisting / rotating motion, insert brush to the bottom of the hole and remove 2 times.
3. Flush holes with clean running water until water is clear.
4. Vacuum all water and liquid from the cleaned hole.

Opening And Using Cartridge

1. Remove cap from cartridge and attach mixing nozzle. Refer to product label for correct part number.
2. Load cartridge into dispensing gun (Ramset Part Numbers CUAP (Manual), E108 (Manual), CUAPN (Pneumatic) and CUAR18 (18V Battery Powered)
3. Dispense a small quantity of adhesive (2 to 3 trigger pulls) to waste to ensure both adhesive components are balanced.
4. Insert mixing nozzle tip to bottom of hole (to avoid air bubbles) and inject adhesive. Gradually withdraw nozzle to keep the nozzle tip at the surface of the adhesive Continue injecting until hole is about ¾ filled.
5. Insert fixing using a twisting / rotating motion into adhesive and wipe away any excess.
6. Allow adhesive to cure. Refer to product label or product pages in this book or Technical Data Sheets for curing times at various temperatures.
7. Load anchor and apply torque (to threaded fixings) after appropriate cure time

Avoid trapping air bubbles. Air bubbles reduce the bonded area resulting in a lower load capacity

Deep Embedment

1. Break off larger discs from Dosing Cap to obtain the correct diameter
2. Measure depth of hole.
3. Attach dosing cap to end of extension tube. Measure and mark half the hole depth on the extension tube.
4. Insert extension tube to end of hole and inject adhesive. Adhesive in the hole will apply force to the disc, pushing it back. Stop injecting when mark on tube appears.
5. Insert rod or bar with a twisting / rotating motion. Wipe away any excess adhesive.
6. Load anchor and apply torque (to threaded fixings) after appropriate cure time.
