Bearcat™ Bolt – Accessory Solutions
DESCRIPTION
The Bearcat™ Bolt Multi-Use is a high strength, reusable drill-in screw anchor. This anchor utilizes a pre-drilled hole and self-taps into the concrete, creating a mechanical connection between the concrete and the anchor threads.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Reusable up to 20 times*
- High capacity to maximize brace system
- 5″ and 7″ bolt lengths
- Compatible with 3/4″ drilled holes
- Quick and clear installation
- Integrated cut-washer for anti-rotation
*With use of wear gauge
APPLICATION
• Designed specifically for use in tilt-up wall braces to floor slabs during panel erection
• Additional uses include lift brackets/plates as well as permanent or temporary fixation of racking, rails, guards, etc.
• Better bite into concrete, no spinning or slipping in the hole
• Galvanized coating keeps the anchor from corroding between and during uses
TECHNICAL DATA
1-A safety factor of 2:1 should be applied to ultimate capacities for the tilt-up industry standard SWL. 2-Linear interpolation of embedment depths and concrete strengths are not permitted. 3-Capacities were obtained through testing of anchors that passed the diameter requirements of the reusability gauge. 4-Ultimate capacities were obtained using a 1″ mounting plate thickness. 5-Tension testing was conducted in 4000 and 6000 psi concrete. 6-Shear values were obtained through ACI 318-14 Chapter 17 calculations and validated with in-concrete testing. Maximum ultimate shear may not exceed 27,000 and 19,000 lbs. for the 7″ and 5″ anchors respectively.
1-Ultimate capacities were obtained using a 1″ plate thickness. Thicker plates will reduce the capacity. 2-Over-drill depth is assuming full anchor embedment in the concrete. With concrete thinner than the nominal full embedment, the anchor will protrude through the back of the concrete. Reference the loading chart for thin concrete capacities. 3-Over torquing can damage the anchor and/or reduce the capacities.
