Installation Guidelines

The AA401 Eye Nut should be installed by trained and certified personnel in accordance with relevant standards such as AS/NZS 4488.2:1997, AS/NZS 1891.4:2009, ISO 22846 (2003), and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Tools Required

  • Rotary hammer drill
  • 14 mm masonry drill bit
  • Air pump
  • Cleaning brush

 

Important Considerations

  • When installing through a waterproofing membrane, apply a full gasket of compatible sealant between the eye nut and the membrane to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing.
  • All chemical and friction anchorages must be proof loaded before their initial use and subsequently on a regular basis to meet the requirements set out in AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 and AS/NZS 4488.2:1997.
    • Proof load the eye to 7.5 kN for fall arrest applications.
    • Proof load the eye to 6 kN for rope access applications.
  • Through bolts must be visually inspected; do not proof load.
