Large Diameter Tapcon (LDT) Anchors

Description/Advantages

The LDT anchor is a high performance anchor that cuts its own threads into concrete.

Anchor bodies are made of hardened carbon steel and zinc plated.

The anchors shall have a finished hex washer head with anti-rotation serrations to prevent anchor back-out. The head of the anchor is stamped with a length identification code for easy inspection.

The anchor shall be installed with carbide tipped hammer drill bits made in accordance to ANSI B212.15-1994.

SAVE TIME

EASILY INSTALLED

Installs in less than half the time of wedge anchors or adhesive anchors
Simply drill a pilot hole and drive the LDT anchor by hand or impact

EASILY REMOVED

No torching or grinding required to remove anchors

SAVE MONEY

LOWER DRILL BIT COSTS

Use standard ANSI bits instead of proprietary bits
Single piece design, no nut and washer to assemble

USE STANDARD ANSI BITS

No special proprietar y bits to purchase or lose
Reduce chances for anchor failure due to incorrect bit usage

Applications

Racking, shelving and conveyors are just a few high volume applications ideal for Large Diameter Tapcon (LDT™). The ease and speed of installation of the LDT can reduce installation time to less than half the time of typical systems used today.

For installation speed, high performance and easy removability, LDT is the anchor of choice.

The LDT’s finished head and lack of exposed threads virtually eliminates tire damage on fork lift trucks.

FeaturesInstallation Steps

Installation Steps for Concrete, Lightweight Concrete and Metal Deck

	1. Using the proper size carbide bit (see chart) drill "a pilot hole at least 1" deeper than anchor embedment.
	2. Using an electric impact wrench, or socket wrench (hand install) insert anchor into hole and tighten anchor until fully seated. (see chart for socket size) (do not over tighten).

Installation Steps for Hollow or Grout-Filled CMU

(3/8" and 1/2" diameter)

	1. Using a 5/16" (for 3/8" LDT) or 7/16" (for 1/2" LDT) carbide tipped bit, drill a pilot hole at least 1" deeper than anchor embedment.
	2. Using a socket wrench insert anchor into hole and hand tighten anchor until fully seated. (9/16" socket for 3/8" and 3/4" socket for 1/2") (do not over tighten).
	LDT’s can be installed by hand or with an impact wrench Installation by hand—is easy, simply using a socket wrench
	Installation by impact wrench—is recommended for faster installations or for high volume projects. Installation with impact wrench—is not recommended for hollow block.
