Certifix CFTBII4-8x80/15 A4 stainless steel through bolt

The Certifix CFTB II Through Bolt Anchor combines variable anchorage depths with the highest approved tensile and shear loads to set new standards in performance and flexibility for mechanical expansion anchors. Ideal for anchoring medium to heavy loads in facades, cracked and non-cracked concrete, steel beams, cable and pipe routes and wooden constructions, the Certifix CFTB II allows higher loads in the same depth settings as before, which can be further increased by a deeper setting. This can also mean savings on fixing points or fastenings and reduced drilling and setting. Through the combination of the highest approved tensile and shear loads with variable anchorage depths, the newly developed Certifix CFTB II Through Bolt Anchor with European Technical Assessment, sets standards in performance and flexibility of mechanical Expansion anchors. In many cases, with the same setting depth as before, the CFTB II allows higher loads, which can be further increased by deeper setting. This can save fixing points or fastenings can be realised, that have not been possible with a through bolt anchor. However, setting with a reduced anchorage depth reduces drilling and setting effort and reduces the risk of reinforcement hits. The innovative calculation method in dependence of anchorage depth and concrete thickness, enables smallest center and edge distances for the respective application. This flexibility allows a perfect adaptation to the installation situation and allows more economical fastenings. By optimization of the material, the geometry and the manufacturing process, performance under the influence of earthquakes was significantly increased. This performance and flexibility allows an optimal adaptation to the installation situation and for example enables railing fastenings with less mounting points, smaller anchor plates and larger post spacing, as has been possible with wedge anchors so far. Fewer turns until the tightening torque is reached and a coloured marking of the minimum anchorage depth enable shorter processing times with higher installation safety.
