The length of bolt has been overlooked in the instructions, a bolt to long will make contact with the wedge and when tightening the bolt it will strip the thread of the bolt or drop in anchor. There must be a space between end of bolt and drop in anchor wedge. I know this from first hand experience.
This is the piece of information I have been looking for for hours. Finally. All the videos I watched, no one mentions this which I cannot understand. Thank you for your comment!!!
if I needed to install a drop in anchor through laminate flooring, down in to the concrete base, is it as simple as drilling through the laminate floor, changing bits and using a hammer drill to go through the concrete and then dropping the anchor in? --any additional concerns when going through a floor to the concrete base?
Is there a method to achieve a perfect or near perfect 90º angle with the ceiling? With a 1 foot thread a small deviation in the anchor can create a big deviation at the 1 foot level and hanging a long metal beam from 3 or more anchors can be quite a problem.
Just watch your drill to make sure your drilling straight and not on angle. Maybe start slow, or have someone hold a level against the drill for you so you can see
Thanks@@Mellowie, but I already tried that and too many threads deviated too much from the vertical. That's why I created a video to test different options, It's in my Spanish channel (BackyardArt), hopefully I'll be publishing it soon in my English channel.
Steven Hartney I ended up using an anchor very similar to this to mount a TV above a brick fireplace. I was cautious not to expand the anchor "excessively" and I used Gorilla Glue (expanding foam glue) in the hole being careful not to contaminate the threads. It worked like a charm.
You, sir, are master of the obvious! You failed to mention or specify how length of bolts will change the depth required. You failed to mention whether or not this needs to be tightened with a hand tool, or if an impact drill can be used. You also commented to install the dropping anchor, as deep as it needs to go, 🙃 I’m not sure about you friend, but as a contractor I’ve installed thousands of these and I’ve never saw any instructions on any box on how deep to go with this option. If you’re going to spend the time to make a video perhaps spend a little bit of time, considering the fact that your video should actually be useful.
I've never dropped one of these in. I mount most of my speakers, threaded rod, Gribble stud hangers, TV and projector mounts in the ceiling. These concrete anchor fasteners drop off the scissor lift, ladder and bucket truck, but never drop-in to the hole I just drilled. Please come up with a different name like "drill, push, pound & screw". Push-up is already copyrighted by a bra manufacturer to make droopy breasts more aesthetically appealing.

Thanks for the instructional video.
We use these in the solid mortar joints in a chimney. What is the issue? Thx
good video!
Very helpful

David A yep
I like your video ❤❤❤❤❤❤

"Concrete only not to be used on brick or block" Followed by "when drilling into concrete brick or block" MAKE YOUR MIND UP"
I'd really like to know why I can't use these on brick.
@@RichardBronosky BRICKS OR BLOCKS SPLIT WIDE OPEN WHEN A HOLE IS PRESSURE EXPANDED.. THESE 'SET' BY PRESSURE EXPANSION.

Great
How deep should the whole be?

so how deep should you drill the hole... thanks
U miss a big point dude. How deep is the hole?
Length of the bolt that will be used.
@@odbo_One length of the anchor

wow.. some of the Bing images that come with 'stud hangers' ..
Nice commentary :-)
