Skill Builder Guides & reviews for building and construction
In this video Roger Bisby takes a look at the new Atlas Bolt from Samac, designed to be a one piece, fast, efficient and cost effective solution for any concrete fixing job.
Atlas Bolts are an alternative to traditional concrete fixings with high tensile self-tapping technology, offering quick and easy “drill and screw” installation in a variety of construction substrates, including concrete, block, brick, timber, marble, and stone. The Atlas Bolt is suitable for a variety of construction fixings tasks across any number of trades from plumbers and electricians to fencing and roofing contractors.
The Samac Atlas Bolt is said to provide market leading load performance with low expansion forces, making it an efficient and effective alternative to chemical anchors. This is particularly pertinent for temporary structures as the Atlas Bolt is completely removable.
Unlike mechanical expansion anchors, the Atlas Bolt keys into the base material for the entire depth and diameter of the hole, not just at the base, thanks to ten sharp thread-forming teeth that ensure the most secure connection in the substrate.
This reduces high energy forces within the concrete allowing close anchor spacing and near-to edge anchor locations. The Samac Atlas Bolt is manufactured from carbon, hardened steel with Boron.
