ETA-approved through-bolt for Option 7 concrete launched in the UK

EJOT has developed a new high-performance ETA (European Technical Assessment) approved through-bolt – also known as an anchor bolt – to provide installers with dependable anchoring into the full range of Option 7 non-cracked concrete applications.

EJOT’s BA-C NC through-bolt is engineered to the same exacting standards as our technical range of BA-Plus Option 1 anchors. BA-C NC is manufactured in zinc-plated carbon steel to provide a high-performance anchor for heavy-duty dry applications into non-cracked concrete. This range offers thread diameters from M8 up to M16 in length options that range from 75mm up to 175mm.

The EJOT BA-C NC is a torque-controlled expansion anchor which transfers the load into the base material via friction grip between the anchor’s expansion sleeve and the sidewalls of a drilled hole. In doing so, the through-bolt provides a reliable and economical fixing system for non-cracked concrete applications such as warehouse racking, stadium seating, columns, guard rails, facades, staircases and machinery installation.

Thanks to the ETA-approved, installers can have total assurance of the performance capabilities of BA-C NC. This independent stamp of approval for anchors demonstrates that the through-bolts are safe and versatile to use for the wide range of Option 7 applications. For installer this means great results and peace of mind.

The BA-C NC through-bolt also benefits from a quick and simple installation, in just four easy steps…

1. Drill the hole to the correct diameter and corresponding depth
2. Clean the hole by blowing to remove debris
3. Insert the anchor through the fixture
4. Apply the recommended installation torque with a calibrated torque wrench and you’re done!
    

EJOT’s BA-C NC anchor complements its recently upgraded range of technical through-bolts for Option 1 cracked and non-cracked concrete, BA Plus. These precision-engineered through-bolts provide high strength and equally reliable performance in the most demanding concrete applications up to seismic standards, including in tight spots where the anchor spacing is limited and edge proximity is close.

Richard Bowhay, Sales Manager for Building Fasteners at EJOT UK said: “The launch of the BA-C NC range gives installers a reliable new option for Option 7 concrete applications, providing the quality and performance assurances that underpin every product in the EJOT range. Alongside our newly updated BA Plus range for Option 1 cracked and non-cracked concrete, the BA-C NC’s introduction means customers now have access to class-leading EJOT through-bolts for every application.”
