Simpson Strong-Tie TCAP500912 Torq-Cut Anchor Pre-Set 1/2 x 9-1/2", 5 ct.
The Torq-Cut self-undercutting anchor is a heavy-duty, high-capacity anchor designed and tested for use in cracked and uncracked concrete under static and seismic loading conditions. It is designed to meet the stringent requirements of the 2006 and 2009 IBC for post-installed anchors. The built-in ring with hardened cutters expands with installation torque forming undercut grooves in the concrete. This interlocking connection between the anchor and the concrete provides superior load carrying capacity. Features:
Self-undercutting feature provides higher load carrying capacity than conventional mechanical anchors
AC193 code tested to ensure outstanding performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete
Excellent for resisting seismic and vibratory loads
Suitable for Seismic Design Categories A-F
Ductile steel rod provides consistent, reliable performance
Specially designed, low-friction expansion cone minimizes binding and speeds installation
Installs just like a conventional expansion anchor, no special tool, drill bit, or secondary drilling is required
The head is stamped with the Simpson Strong-Tie. "No Equal" sign and size identification for easy post installation verification MATERIAL: ASTM A193 grade B7 or B7M rod with SAE J403 grade 1144 undercut expansion ring and expansion cone
FINISH: Zinc plated CODES: ICC-ES pending TEST CRITERIA: The Torq-Cut anchor has been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Mechanical Anchors in Concrete Elements (AC193) and ACI 355.2 for the following:
Static tension and shear loading in cracked and uncracked concrete
Seismic and wind loading in cracked and uncracked concrete
Performance in cracked concrete Torq-Cut Setting Tool
The TCAST is the steel setting tool used to install the Torq-Cut anchor. It is used to drive the anchor into the pre-drilled hole and protect the threads on the Torq-Cut from being damaged by hammer blows. INSTALLATION:
Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will make it difficult to set the anchor and will reduce the anchors load capacity. Do not use an impact wrench to set or tighten the Torq-Cut anchor.
Installation Instructions: Pre-Set Version (TCAP)
1. Drill a hole in the base material to the specified embedment depth using the appropriate diameter carbide drill bit specified for each diameter.
2. Blow the hole clean using compressed air.
3. Assemble the anchor with nut and washer and finger tighten nut so all components are snug (spacer sleeve, expansion sleeve and cone). The bottom of the threaded rod should be flush with the bottom of the cone.
4. Place the anchor into the drilled hole and use a hammer and setting tool to drive the anchor until the washer and nut are tight against the surface of the base material.
5. Remove the nut and washer and install the fixture. Re-assemble the nut and washer over the fixture.
6. Tighten to the required installation torque. Installation Instructions: Through-Set Version (TCAT)
1. Drill a hole in the base material to the specified embedment depth using the appropriate diameter carbide drill bit specified for each diameter.
2. Blow the hole clean using compressed air.
3. Assemble the anchor with nut and washer and finger tighten nut so all components are snug (spacer sleeve, expansion sleeve and cone). The bottom of the threaded rod should be flush with the bottom of the cone.
4. Place the anchor through the fixture and into the drilled hole. Use a hammer and setting tool to drive the anchor until the washer and nut are tight against the fixture.
5. Tighten to the required installation torque. APPLICATION: Interior environment where low levels of moisture and corrosive chemicals are present
