What size hole do I need to drill for this fixing?

Yes. This floor fixing is designed for use with metal feet, especially on rivet racking systems. It should be installed through the pre-drilled holes in the feet for maximum stability.

Is this fixing compatible with all racking systems?

What materials can this anchor bolt be used in?

It’s engineered for use in:

  • Concrete

  • Brickwork

  • Blockwork

Avoid using it in hollow or soft materials where the anchor cannot properly expand.

Do I need to use more than one fixing per bay or upright?

The number of M8 bolts needed for racking depends on the specific racking system and its application. Check your racking manufacturer's guidelines or safety compliance requirements

Can I install this myself?

Yes - the installation is straightforward for competent DIYers or professionals:

  1. Drill the hole
