Installation and Available Diameters
| AVAILABLE DIAMETERS | ||
|---|---|---|
| M5 | M8 | M12 |
| M6 | M10 | M16 |
| To achieve maximum loads the installation process needs to be carried out as follows: | |
|---|---|
 | 1. Drill hole in the substrate, using drill of correct diameter, ensuring the hole is deep enough to accommodate dust caused by threading action. Drill hole perpendicular to substrate and ensure bit is not excessively worn. |
 | 2. Remove any loose dust from the hole. |
 | 3. Screw in the Thunderbolt with socket wrench. Apply a slight downward pressure to start the self-tapping action. |
 | 4. Tighten the Thunderbolt until the fixture is in place. If resistance is experienced while tightening, unscrew one turn and re-tighten, ensuring not to overtighten with excessive torque. |
 | 5. For optimum performance, a torque wrench should be utilised. Do not exceed tightening torque shown in the setting detail chart (for max. tightening torque into brick or block, contact the technical advice line). |
