How To Install Drop In Anchors

In this video I show you how to install Drop-in-anchors and threaded rod hangers, specially regarding mounting in ceilings, as a ceiling support for piping, false ceilings, HVAC, etc., although it also applies to wall and floor mounting.

I've never seen that double nut technique at the bottom of the rod to make a handle to tighten to rod into the socket, definitely will use that!
What a great video taught by someone who knows his stuff! Thank you.

What is the load bearing capacity if these drop in anchors?

[@RODsDIY]

You have to check with the manufacturer where you live.

what if you over screw the rod into the drop in anchor? would that cancel out the holding power of the anchor ?

[@RODsDIY]

If you overscrew the rod into the drop in anchor the worse thing that can happen, in my opinion, is that you might damage the threads. The holding power would be lost if the setting pin and anchors feet break - something quite improbable - or if the rod gets unscrewed - also quite improbable, unless the thread is damaged (by using excess force).

Is the set-in tool mandatory?

[@TinKadoic]

De dewalt 1/4 in its instruction shows only a hammer...

[@RODsDIY]

If you turn the threaded rod enough it should open the legs to engage, but it surely is harder than using the setting tool.

[@yasirmahmod6832]

But where is the nut that tightened into the drop anchor by the rod ?

[@RODsDIY]

I'm not sure what you mean. Two nuts are used for tightening the rod inside the drop in anchor. The rod is used to hang something, like a steel bar or angle, which usually only needs one nut under it, although sometimes one might prefer a nut over the bar and another one under the bar so there is no movement.

[@RODsDIY]

The nut doesn't enter the drop anchor, two nuts are used only to turn the rod, to screw it into the anchor.

[@yasirmahmod6832]

@@RODsDIY im not mean the nut belong to the rod, im mean the nut belong to the anchor that lie or positioned in the top of the anchor that when you move the rod inside the anchor which in turn move inside the nut making the nut move back ( or down the anchor ) making the four sides of the anchor to expand against cementum ceiling or concrete ♥️🥰

@@yasirmahmod6832 The 2" long thread and the upside-down toadstool type nut I use to hammer in the anchor do not open the feet of the anchor. This bit of thread and nut are used only to push in the anchor when the hole is too tight. Ideally the anchor should go in easier than in the video. After I get the anchor well in, and remove the bit of thread, then I open the feet of the anchor hammering with the setting tool. At that point the anchor is set and it's inner thread is empty, ready to screw in a thread (in this case a long piece of thread).

[@yasirmahmod6832]

@@RODsDIY so that bro , then which type of these anchors used for installating C channel ( The skeletal body or the bridge ) of gypsum boards in the cementum ceiling 😊 ?

[@hangngoaigiare]

Which planet u from? What kind of drop in anchor is that?

[@RODsDIY]

Ha, ha, ha. Search for it in Google, you'll find different designs of drop in anchors, different sizes, but they all have this inner pin that opens the metal that holds the anchors in place. Thanks for your comment Quang Nguyen.

[@FreshAirRules]

Can't hear a thing. Turn it up!

[@RODsDIY]

Thanks, I'll do that. Of course, you can also turn on the subtitles (my own, not UA-cam's stupid autocaptions).

[@acemannotsomeother]

Get the proper size drill or a new one! Inserts should not require that much effort to put in.

[@RODsDIY]

It is the proper size drill bit, but thanks for your comment.
