Simpson Strong-Tie DIAB50 1/2" Drop-In Anchor 

Simpson Strong-Tie introduces a redesigned Drop-In anchor that provides easier installation into base materials. Improved geometry in the preassembled expansion plug improves the setting capability so the anchor installs with 40% less hammer strikes than previous Drop-In anchors. The displacement-controlled expansion anchors are easily set by driving the plug toward the bottom of the anchor using either the hand or power setting tools. DIAB anchors feature a positive-set marking indicator at the top of the anchor, Helping you to see more clearly when proper installation has taken place. 

**CAUTION**

CONSULT THE CURRENT CODE REPORTS FOR APPLICABLE LOAD VALUES 

OVERSIZED HOLE WILL REDUCE THE ANCHORS LOAD CAPACITY 

Features

• New design offers easy installation than previous drop-in anchor design. 
• Positive-set marking system indicates when anchor is properly set

DIAB Manual Installation

1. Drill a hole in the base material using the appropriate diameter carbide drill but or fixed-depth. Drill the hole to the specified embedment. For fixed-depth bits drill the hole until the shoulder of the bit contacts the surface of the base material. Then blow the hole clean of dust and debris using compressed air. Overhead installations do not need to be blown clean. 
2. Insert the anchor into the hole. Tap with hammer until flush against the surface. 
3. Using the designated Drop-in setting tool, drive expander plug towards the bottom of the anchor until the shoulder of the setting tool makes contact with top of the anchor. When properly set, four indentation will be visible on the top of the anchor indicating full expansion
4. Insert bolt of threaded rod. Minimum thread engagement should be equal to the nominal diameter of the threaded insert. 

DIAB SDS Installation

1. Drill a hole in the base material using the appropriate diameter carbide drill bit of fixed-depth bit. Drill the hole to the specified embedment For fixed-depth bits drill the hole until the shoulder of the bit contacts the surface of the base material. Then blow the hole clean of dust and debris with compressed air. Overhead installations do not need to be blown clean.
