Inject-TITE™ FS (Fast-Set) Adhesive

Drilling and Cleaning

1. Using a rotary hammer drill, and a bit which conforms to ANSI B212.15 and is the appropriate size for the anchor diameter to be installed, drill the hole to the specified embedment depth. CAUTION: Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE) for eyes, ears & skin and avoid inhalation of dust during the drilling and cleaning process. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for details prior to proceeding.
2. NOTE: Remove any standing water from hole prior to beginning the cleaning process. If removal of standing water is not possible, please contact Wej-It for application specific installation instructions. Using oil free compressed air with a minimum pressure of 80 psi (5.5 bar), insert the air wand to the bottom of the drilled hole and blow out the debris with an up/down motion for a minimum of 4 seconds/cycles (4X).
3. Select the correct wire brush size for the drilled hole diameter (see Table 2), making sure that the brush is long enough to reach the bottom of the drilled hole. Reaching the bottom of the hole, brush in an up/down and twisting motion for 4 cycles (4X). CAUTION: The brush should contact the walls of the hole. If it does not, the brush is either too worn or small and should be replaced with a new brush of the correct diameter.
4. Blow the hole out once more to remove brush debris using oil free compressed air with a minimum pressure of 80 psi (5.5 bar). Insert the air wand to the bottom of the drilled hole and blow out the debris with an up/down motion for a minimum of 4 seconds/cycles (4X). Visually inspect the hole to confirm it is clean. NOTE: If installation will be delayed for any reason, cover cleaned holes to prevent contamination.

Cartridge Preparation

1. CAUTION: Check the expiration date on the cartridge to ensure it is not expired. Do not use expired product! Remove the protective cap from the adhesive cartridge and insert the cartridge into the recommended dispensing tool. Before attaching mixing nozzle, balance the cartridge by dispensing a small amount of material until both components are flowing evenly. For a cleaner environment, hand mix the two components and let cure prior to disposal in accordance with local regulations.
2. Only after the cartridge has been balanced, screw on the proper Wej-It mixing nozzle to the cartridge (see Table 1). Do not modify mixing nozzle and confirm that internal mixing element is in place prior to dispensing adhesive. Take note of the air and base material temperatures and review the working/full cure time chart (see Table 4) prior to starting the injection process.
3. Dispense the initial amount of material from the mixing nozzle onto a disposable surface until the product is a uniform gray color with no streaks, as adhesive must be properly mixed in order to perform as published. Dis- pose of the initial amount of adhesive according to local regulations prior to injection into the drill hole. CAUTION: When changing cartridges, never re-use nozzles. A new nozzle should be used with each new cartridge and steps 5-7 should be repeated accordingly.

Installation and Curing (Vertical Down and Horizontal)

1. NOTE: The engineering drawings must be followed. For any applications not covered by this document, or if there are any installation questions, please contact Wej-It. Insert the mixing nozzle to the bottom of the hole and fill from the bottom to the top approximately two-thirds full, being careful not to withdraw the nozzle too quickly as this may trap air in the adhesive. NOTE: When using a pneumatic dispensing tool, ensure that pressure is set at 90 psi (6.2 bar) maximum.
2. Do not disturb, torque or apply any load to the installed anchor until the specified full cure time has passed. The amount of time needed to reach full cure is base material temperature dependent - refer to Table 4 for appropriate full cure time.
3. Prior to inserting the threaded rod or rebar into the hole, make sure it is clean and free of oil and dirt and that the necessary embedment depth is marked on the anchor element. Insert the anchor element into the hole while turning 1-2 rotations prior to the anchor reaching the bottom of the hole. Excess adhesive should be visible on all sides of the fully installed anchor. For horizontal installations, wedges should be used to center and support the anchor while the adhesive is curing. CAUTION: Use extra care with deep embedment or high temperature installations to ensure that the working time has not elapsed prior to the anchor being fully installed.
