Metallics DIA14T – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I actually need a setting tool to install drop-in anchors, or can I just use a bolt?
A setting tool is required. A drop-in anchor holds by having its internal expander plug driven down, which flares the sleeve against the hole wall. Threading a bolt in does not drive that plug. The DIA14T is sized to seat over a 1/4 inch drop-in anchor and transfer hammer blows to the plug so the sleeve expands evenly, then you install your bolt or threaded rod once expansion is verified.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch drop-in anchor before using this tool?
Drill the hole diameter and depth called out by the anchor manufacturer for that specific 1/4 inch drop-in anchor, using a masonry bit, then blow or vacuum the hole clean of dust before dropping the anchor in. Debris left in the hole keeps the anchor from seating at full depth, and the DIA14T will then bottom out before the plug is fully driven. The tool itself does not set the hole size; the anchor does.
3) Can this setting tool be used in block and brick, or only poured concrete?
Metallics lists it for concrete and masonry anchor installation, so block and brick substrates are within its intended use. Keep in mind the holding value comes from the anchor and the base material, not the tool. In hollow block, position the anchor in the solid web and follow the anchor manufacturer's values and your local code for the pull test.
4) What jobs is a 1/4 inch drop-in anchor setting tool used for on a commercial site?
It covers the light to medium concrete fastening an electrical, HVAC or plumbing crew does every day: anchoring electrical panels and equipment brackets, hanging conduit and ductwork supports, pipe supports and fixture brackets, machinery and equipment bases, and retrofit work in existing concrete during facility upgrades. Anywhere a 1/4 inch drop-in anchor is specified, this is the tool that sets it.
