Dayton Superior B31 Rock Anchor (Coil Thread), 1/2in x 6in

Category: Accessories | Wall Forming Accessories Brand: Dayton Superior

The Dayton Superior B31 Rock Anchor is a pre-assembled unit designed for securing formwork in solid rock or concrete. It comes tapped with standard 1/2", 3/4", or 1" diameter coil threads, with National Coarse (NC) threads available by special order. These rock anchors are specifically engineered to allow for economical and rapid one-sided forming of walls and similar structures, eliminating the need for a second formwork wall.

Key Features:

• Efficient Design: Pre-assembled for quick and easy installation, saving valuable time on the job site.
• Versatile Sizing: Available in multiple standard coil thread diameters to suit various project requirements.
• Cost-Effective: Enables one-sided forming, significantly reducing material and labor costs.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-strength materials to ensure reliable performance in sound rock and concrete.

Installation Guide:

The B31 Rock Anchor is designed for straightforward installation.

1. Preparation: Drill a hole into the rock or concrete base to the appropriate depth and diameter for the anchor size being used.
2. Assembly: Thread the rock anchor onto the corresponding coil rod until the rod makes firm contact with the internal backstop of the anchor.
3. Insertion: Remove the plastic retaining sleeve that holds the wedges in place. Insert the entire anchor and coil rod assembly into the pre-drilled hole. Ensure the assembly is pushed in far enough so that the anchor's backstop "bottoms out" at the base of the hole.
4. Activation: Tighten the coil rod. This action pulls the threaded cone forward, forcing the anchor's wedges outward to expand the shell. This expansion creates a secure friction grip against the walls of the borehole.

Important: Exercise caution to not overtighten the anchor, as this can damage the anchor components or the surrounding concrete/rock. The goal is to achieve a snug, secure fit without excessive force.

Applications and Advantages:

The Dayton B31 Rock Anchor is an invaluable tool for projects requiring one-sided wall forming. Its primary advantage is creating a secure anchor point in a solid substrate, making it ideal for:

• Foundation walls against existing rock faces.
• Retaining walls.
• Dam and bridge construction.
• Any application where forming both sides of a wall is impractical or impossible.

By using the B31 Rock Anchor, construction professionals can streamline their workflow, reduce project timelines, and achieve significant cost savings without compromising structural integrity.

Safety and Best Practices:

Always adhere to industry safety standards when working with concrete forming accessories. The safe working load of the anchor depends on the strength of the rock or concrete it is set in. A test in a sample, non-critical area is recommended to establish safe load capacities for your specific conditions. Regular inspection and proper installation techniques are crucial for ensuring maximum safety and performance.
