2. Perform the following substeps for each hole associated with each frame to be installed on the
raised floor:
Note: The threaded rod must be absolutely perpendicular to the floor. Using a level is
recommended.
a) Insert the threaded rod into the anchor holes in the tiles, making sure that the threaded rod
is perpendicular to the hole.
b) Strike the top of the threaded rod with a hammer using enough force to mark the concrete
floor.
3. Remove the floor tiles for access to the concrete floor.
4. Use a HEPA vacuum cleaner to collect the dust while drilling.
Drill an 18 mm diameter hole in the concrete floor to a depth of 3 inches (7.7 cm).
Note: The hole must be drilled perpendicular to the floor so the anchor and frame will come
together properly.
5. Ensure that each hole is clean after the drilling is complete.
6. For each threaded rod, thread the following components in the order shown onto one end of
the rod (these components are threaded on the rod while the rod is upside down; see
37: Anchor Assembly for Raised Floor Over Concrete
their orientation):
a) Torque nut
b) Small steel washer
c) Metal sleeve
d) Nylon collar
e) Expansion sleeve
f) Cone nut (thread onto the rod until the end of the threaded rod is flush with the bottom of
the cone nut)
Note: These components should be in contact with each other, but do not tighten the assembly
because doing so could prematurely expand the expansion sleeve.
7. Insert each threaded rod/anchor assembly into its hole, with the cone nut at the bottom, and
tighten with a 3/4 inch (19mm) wrench until the top nut of the torque nut breaks free (this nut
is called the twist-off nut in
60).
