Acorn SDIAT12 Drop-in Anchor Setting Tool

Product Description

The ACORN SDIAT12 is a drop-in anchor setting tool designed to properly seat drop-in style concrete anchors during installation. The tool engages the internal expansion mechanism of the anchor when struck with a hammer, ensuring the anchor expands correctly within the drilled hole. Proper setting is critical to achieving rated load capacity in concrete fastening applications. This tool is used by contractors, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who regularly install drop-in anchors in concrete ceilings, floors, and walls.

The SDIAT12 is suited for use in commercial and residential construction where drop-in anchors are fastened into concrete substrates. Typical applications include hanging threaded rod, supporting pipe hangers, mounting electrical conduit supports, and securing mechanical equipment. The tool is a straightforward hand tool that works with a standard hammer and is sized to match the corresponding drop-in anchor diameter for which it is rated.

Installation Notes

Before setting anchors, ensure the drilled hole is clean, dry, and meets the anchor manufacturer's depth specification. Insert the anchor fully into the hole, place the setting tool into the anchor bore, and strike firmly with a hammer until the tool bottoms out.
