Consequences of Loose Anchor Bolts
1. Time Efficiency One of the primary advantages of using self-drilling screws in thick steel applications is the significant reduction in installation time. Traditional methods require drilling a pilot hole before fastening, which can be labor-intensive. Self-drilling screws streamline the process, allowing for quicker assembly and increased productivity.
4. Load Capacity Chemical anchors are rated for both tensile and shear loads. The specifications should clearly state these values, often tested according to specific standards such as ASTM or EN to ensure reliability.
