PAT Application Guide — General Notes
- Average pin embedment into concrete is 19–32mm.
- To determine pin length for concrete: add fixture thickness and embedment depths.
- To determine pin length for steel applications: add fixture thickness plus steel thickness plus 3mm. Getting the point to pass through steel 3 mm maximises holding strength.
- When selecting a load power level, it is recommended to make a test fastening with the lowest power level. If the powder load does not set the fastener, try the next highest load, and so on, until the fastener is properly set.
