DeWalt recently added a new range of innovative anchoring and fastening solutions to its concrete products category that are designed for performance and productivity.
Central to the offering is the pairing with DeWalt’s range of 20-volt Max and new Flexvolt cordless rotary hammers along with a full range of accessories and setting tools. The addition of Flexvolt Rotary Hammers allows for a new leap in DeWalt’s pursuit of a fully cordless system solution for concrete and masonry applications. With the addition of the anchors and fasteners line, DeWalt can now offer a full system for the entire project from the design phase through construction and completion.
The new range of DeWalt anchors will launch in the back half of 2016, and the existing Powers range of anchors and fasteners will gradually transition to the DeWalt brand. Powers is a leader in the concrete and masonry fastening industry, specializing in providing solutions for the design and specification phases of construction.
As pioneers in their fields, DeWalt has been developing innovative installation tools, and Powers has been creating anchor solutions for construction projects throughout the world. Both DeWalt and Powers products have been used in the design and construction of many of the world’s most iconic structures.
Part of the DeWalt anchors’ launch is an updated and extended range of cast-in-place anchors. Meant to be used in construction projects where the anchors are placed prior to the concrete being poured, a growing trend for construction sites in the U.S., these new anchors are designed to deliver fast and reliable installations leveraging the trend toward Building Information Modeling. Anchors include:
Woodknocker II — For use in wood concrete form applications, this cast-in-place insert anchor is designed to be more stable than previous designs. Improvements include a much wider base that reduces the accidental kick over after installation. Also, the nails are raised and now sit inside the base, removing the sharp points of the nails when handling prior to installation.
Deck Insert — Metal deck forms are corrugated and the placement of the anchors must be exact according to the design of the project. The new DDI insert solves this common issue and allows a cast-in-place insert to be placed on any surface of the deck including the incline where traditional metal deck inserts cannot be installed.
Post-Installation Anchors — While the increased productivity benefit of the cast-in-place method causes it to be the growing trend, the majority of construction projects continue to use the conventional post-installation method of anchoring. Like with cast-in-place anchors, quick installation is the top request from contractors.
Screw-Bolt+ — For the contractor installing structural components such as columns or beams as well as nonstructural components like windows, warehouse racking or railing, the new Screw-Bolt+ allows for faster installation compared to a conventional anchor.
Hangermate+ — For mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors hanging pipe, cable trays and other components to ceilings, this new line of anchors shares the same thread and shank design of concrete Screw-Bolt+ and is a fast and easy method for rod hanging.
Adhesive Anchoring Solutions — Also a post-installation method of anchoring, the adhesive anchoring process is used to bond rebar or threaded rod into drilled holes in concrete and masonry. The post install rebar application is one that has very specific requirements to be completed correctly.
