View Full Version : FIxing rawl bolts
How is this done? :roll:
The sleeve is in 3 or 4 parts so I can't see how drilling a hole and then inserting it (like a normal rawl plug) would work?
Any gen? I feel like a right 'tard for asking this!
These felllas BTW

Drill a perfect hole and bang it in or is more gen than that needed?
the fecker on the back there will pull up rawl plug style and make the first bits splay outwards, rawl plug style. Chuck the fecker in and wind her up lol
the plastic or metal one?
the metal one works by moving the taper up the bore as you do the bolt up, jamming it in place.
the plastic one grips the hole, and as you do the screw up it expands, jamming itself in the hole
Drill hole
bang in plug
do up
Simplez

Anchor bolt FTW Limp :)
If you can get some, use chemical bolts/glass bolts (i dont know the technical term for them) but only use them if you never EVER need to get them back out again, as quite simply, you will never ever get them back out without removing a 2ft sq section of whatever there stuck in!
Aye the anchor bolts. (Lesser places refer to them as rawl bolts too lol) I already have some M12's for gratis so will be using those. It's for securing a tyre changer/bead breaker btw.
So I insert it into the hole (LOL :/) with the bolt threaded into the nut, otherwise it will fall apart surely?
Just seemed to me that it wouldnt grip very well, I'm aware that the nut winds up and spreads out the sleeve though. Massive fail it would seem on my part!
Mike, I'll pass on that plan mate but they sound immense!
Chemical fixings seems to bring them up, I was intrigued, basically a bolt epoxy resin'd into whatever you want to bolt it to... brutal lol
Bolt needs to be on the nut or they are epic fail yes... also an ass to get back together right lol (work in Wickes :p)
What is it your fixing with them? Whats the weight of it? What is it your fixing it to?
Cheers lads. Just seemed that the hole would be too small. I see now though that the taper will move up the bore and grip the surrounding area around the hole. I knew this, it just seemed it wouldn't get the Iron Man like grip that these things claim.
I shall blame the fact that I have had four seperate injections of local anethsetic earlier and I may not be 100% lol
It's to secure down a manual tyre changer/bead breaker. I think it weighs around 70kg. Will be fixing it into the concrete base of my garage.

I used these bolts for my ramp and it ain't moved yet :thumb:
^ Yeah I have heard of people using them to secure ramps mate. Good to hear they're up to the job. Ah one day.... lol

Yea them ones, ive got millions here my old man stole from a place called E.D.Roses where they used to press the panels for Rover cars, they hold 70tonne presses to the floor so im sure they fix a 70kg bead braker lol
My manual tyre machine goes well with the whole tramp drift life style lol.
I want to replace the inhex bolts with some hex jobs though. Ghey.
Ideal for when I want to just drag it out and anchor it down, then move so I can get the car in/out the garage. I want some of the other bolts being discussed!
The Rover press sounds a lot like the one in Nissan, *boom!* door *boom!* bonnet *boom!* boot. Awesome machine to watch lol.
Pointless tools/fixings FTW.
Wondering if you can get a chemical fixing that's threaded then just run the bolts into that?
you have to dismantle the rawl bolt & put the tapering bit into the hole, then position the object (tyre changer thingy) over it & wind the bolt in until it feels very tight. do not think, 'oh i'll just give it 1/2 turn more just to make sure' becuase you could crack the concrete.
a good alternative is the sleeve anchor.

you just get the same size ones as the mounting hole on the tyre changing thingy, put it where you want it to go, drill the holes & hammer them in, followed by pinching it up tight. there is less chance of cracking the floor.

get a nice bit of 1/2" metal plate. get it drilled & tapped with enough mountings for the tyre thingy, and also some extra holes to bolt it down to the floor. then you can bolt said tyre thingy on & off as often as pleases you. just remember to drill some holes out in the floor under the tapped holes so any spare crap has somewhere to go.
Cheers for that boss.
Did consider the steel plate but though this would be less hasssle in the long run.
/\/\ no. trying to refix rawlbolts is a right pain. if there is some crap that has fallen into a hole, it knackers up.
if a baseplate is made & fixed, then it will be way easier to mount onto, unless it is under 6" of puddle of course.
lol @ the puddle! Hopefully my gulley has sorted that issue! The weather hasn't taken a turb for the worse since I dug it though, so still a waiting game for now.
I see what you mean about the crap in the holes. I will keep them covered up somehow when not in use and see how I get on. Was avoiding the plate so I didn't create a trip hazard tbh!
easy fix for the trip hazard.. either get the plate angle cut or get a small jackhammer & carve a recess into the floor to take the plate, or simply knock up a bit of strong mortar and lay a bit round it...
Stop coming up with solutions! lol Yeah, sinking it into the ground would be FTW, can't be arsed with more angle gridning and concrete dust though!
Angled/mortar could be a way to go.
Have a blob if i can matey. :)

no need to rep. i'm just doing my day job..
Yeah, but I appreciate it. Rep is the cornerstone of PNG. We all know this. lol
that's what you need, a cornerstone!!
