The Simpson Strong-Tie^® Hollow Drop-In Anchor (HDIA) is an internally threaded, flush-mount expansion anchor for use in hollow materials such as CMU and hollow-core plank, as well as in solid base materials such as brick, normal-weight and lightweight concrete.

• Suitable for suspending conduit, cable trays, pipe supports, fire sprinklers and suspended lighting into concrete
• Expansion design allows HDIA to anchor into CMU, hollow-core plank, brick, normal-weight concrete and lightweight concrete
• Internally threaded anchor allows for easy bolt removal

• Die-cast Zamac 3 alloy shell with carbon-steel cone or 304 stainless-steel cone

Installation Instructions — Solid Base (using solid setting tool)
