1. DRILL A HOLE WITH THE RIGHT SIZE.

Select a drill with a diameter that matches the anchor rod in question. Drill to the minimum installation depth, hnom, for the anchor rod in question.

2. CLEAN THE HOLE THOROUGHLY!

If the drill hole is not cleaned properly, the performance of the injection mass can be halved! Primarily use a brush intended for the purpose and an air pump. You can also use a straw, a bottle brush, or blow a few times with compressed air.

3. BRUSH THE HOLE
4. BLOW OUT THE HOLE

5. TEST THE CARTRIDGE

Install the ITH cartridge in the gun and screw the mixing nozzle, which comes with the cartridge, in place. For 165 ml and 300 ml cartridges, a good quality standard silicone gun is sufficient. Try to squeeze out about 10 cm and make sure that the two differently colored components have completely mixed in the nozzle.

6. FILL 2/3 WITH MASS

Fill the hole to 2/3 with mass if it is a solid building material. If you have made several holes, fill at most a couple of holes at a time so that the mass does not harden before you have had time to screw in the anchor rod.

5. INSTALL BY ROTATING!

Always install the anchor rod by rotating it into the mass. The rotation ensures that the mass penetrates everywhere in the threads of the anchor rod and makes the attachment strong. Do not wipe off the protruding mass when it is wet to avoid unnecessary mess on the threads of the anchor rod.

6. WAIT A WHILE

Indoors and at normal room temperature, the mass usually begins to harden within a few minutes. The product-specific details are always on the side of the Sormat ITH cartridge. Wait until the mass has hardened and then remove the excess mass with a hammer and, for example, a flat screwdriver.

7. REPEAT FROM STEP 1.

The entire cartridge does not need to be used at once. By leaving the nozzle in place, you can replace the cap between uses and keep the mass in usable condition. When you, at the next use, put a new nozzle in place, make sure again that the mass mixes, see point 3.
