Concrete anchor bolt for FPA1540, 4 in / 10.16 cm long

Concrete anchor bolt for the FPA1540 anchor

The FPA1540B is the concrete anchor bolt from the mounting hardware used with the 5K Swivel permanent anchor FPA1540. It consists of a hex-head concrete bolt and a concrete plug, and measures 4 in (10.16 cm) long. It is the part that solidly anchors the 5K Swivel into the slab. Sold individually.

The FPA1540 is supplied with its bolt included; this FPA1540B remains available separately when only the mounting hardware is required, for replacement or preparation of a new installation. Hiigard manufacturer code: SWY2CSA-475.

Anchor bolt installation

Use a drill, ideally with an SDS chuck, to drill a ½ in (13 mm) diameter hole with a minimum depth of 4½ in (114 mm). The hole location must be more than 8 in (203 mm) from the edge of the slab. The hole must be perpendicular to the slab and cleaned of all debris before installation. The slab must be at least 7 in (178 mm) thick and the concrete must offer a minimum strength of 3000 psi (20.7 MPa). Finally, tighten the bolt to 40 ft-lb (54.23 N·m), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Recommended operating temperatures are -30 °F to +130 °F (-34 °C to +54 °C).

Anchorage point inspection

Before installation or recommissioning of an anchorage point, check the condition of the bolt, plug, thread and concrete surface. Any deformation, significant corrosion, abnormal wear or damage requires replacement of the part. An anchor that has sustained an impact or arrested a fall must be taken out of service immediately and replaced according to the applicable instructions. Sylprotec offers a fall protection equipment inspection service; see the Services tab.
