Fixing Insert With Cross Hole - Stainless Steel

RFA-Tech Fixing Inserts with Cross Hole provide a threaded fixing system in cast concrete with a strength of 30N/mm² and above. They are effective for a single point fixing where no tolerance for attaching is required. They are manufactured from either zinc plated high grade carbon steel or stainless steel tube.

Fixing Inserts can be used in conjunction with Plastic Nailing Plates or Magnetic Holding Plates to provide a recess that can be made good on site. Plastic Stopper Caps are also available to protect threads from weathering and ingress of dirt or foreign matter that can prevent the threads from engaging completely down the length of the socket.

All products are rigorously tested, inspected and supplied with test data on request.

Basic Use Instructions

For all sizes above M6 a high yield reinforcement tail bar must be used to ensure anchorage in the concrete, and should be fitted inside a re-bar cage befitting the unit as specified by the design engineer. All bar sizes and minimum edge distances outlined in our Technical Manual (Page 53) should be observed. The pattern of reinforcement bar bending can be tailored to the unit.

Permissable safe working loads are based upon a safety factor of approximately three times the safe working load. Providing the minimum edge distances are observed, Fixing Inserts have the same working load in shear as in axial.
