Abbsocket 150 – Unique Anchor System

The Abbsocket used in conjunction with Abbfix resin anchor grout has been tested by a NAMAS accredited laboratory and the copy of results of testing to BS 5080 part 1 are available as evidence of test results.

Designed to meet a serviceable life of not less than 20 years. The Abbsocket is a unique design solely marketed by Abbot Fixings Systems Ltd and covered by a patent.

The Abbsocket is made from stainless steel (grade 316 to BS 970 Part 1), and comes complete with a 20mm stainless steel hexagon set bolt (grade A4/80 to BS 6105), and a stainless steel washer (grade 316 to BS 1449 Part 2). Abbsockets are installed into the concrete so that each socket is flush with the concrete surface. The post baseplate unit is then secured with hexagon headed bolts. Abbsockets are designed for applications where a removable fixing head is required and because of the short length of drilled hole, Bridgedeck waterproofing systems are protected and the Sealing of voids in the anchorage’s is a result of using the Abbfix resin system.

The sleeve length of the Abbsocket is 60mm with an internal thread length of 40mm, which allows for the adjustment of the hexagon set bolt. Base plates with a bedding mortar gap of 10-25mm can be fixed with the standard fixing. On request longer hexagon set bolts can be fitted prior to delivery and Galvanised packing washers supplied as accessories if required. Other accessories in the form of Nylon 6.6 tophat washers are available as insulators between the stainless and galvanised components.

Special long anchors can be made to meet below ground applications.

  • Stress free fixing allows minimum edge distances and anchor spacing.
  • No close edging between fixing and hole sides ensures good resin bond and vibration resistant anchorage.

Drilling 32mm x 150mm
Drilling should be carried out by using rotary hammer (SDS) equipment or diamond drilled if required due to steel reinforcement present. If the hole is drilled using a diamond drill it must be under-reamed or roughened.

All holes should be clear of dust and debris, by using a compressed air lance or blow-out bulb in addition to wire brushing.

The ABBSOCKET should be used in conjunction with ABBFIX Resin Anchor Grout, mixed according to the instructions on the pack.

To ensure complete encapsulation, it is recommended that the resin is poured into the hole prior to the installation of the ABBSOCKET. Push the ABBSOCKET down into the resin with a twisting action.
