- Drill hole of recommended diameter (slightly deeper than length of shield).
- Clean the hole using compressed air and a nylon brush.
- Install shield flush with surface of hole threaded side down. Double shield should be flush to slightly below masonry.
- Place fixture. Insert machine bolt through fixture into shield and tighten.
- Single:To determine length of bolt: thickness of fixture plus length of shield, equals length of bolt
Double: A deep setting increases holding power of masonry. If desired, place a pipe sleeve between shield and fixture being attached.
NOTE: Always wear safety glasses. Follow the drill manufacturer's safety instructions. Use only solid carbide-tipped drill bits meeting ANSI B212.15 diameter standards.
