Most concrete structures we are on we start with the limits from the owner. Some dont want any penetrations whatsoever, some have certain areas you can put in some shallow anchors and some dont care if you chisel a hole in the roof. On old grain silos when possible I prefer to use non penetrating mounts, you never know where there are fractures in that old concrete On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 11:38 AM, Tim Reichhart < timreichh...@hometowncable.net> wrote: > Ok what can I use to attach the unstrut? > > > -Original Message----- > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Best way to mount 2 1/2 emt pipe > From: "Chuck McCown" > To: af@afmug.com > Date: 2015/10/12 17:29:34 > > Unistrut > > -Original Message- > From: Tim Reichhart > Sent: Monday, October 12, 2015 9:26 AM > To: af@afmug.com > Subject: [AFMUG] Best way to mount 2 1/2 emt pipe > > What's the best away to mount an 2 1/2 in emt 10ft pipe to concrete grain > silo? > > Tim > > > > > > -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.

I am really fond of these concrete anchors that have a lead/tin alloy shell with a concrete nail in the center.They have a flat round head and a skinny base. Once you pound them in you can't get them out. Very fast to install. They are shaped kind of like a round headed Phillips screw with a nail through the center. Damn I wish I could remember the name. Kind of like the below but bigger and beefier. http://www.confast.com/products/metal-hit-anchor.aspx I always enjoy using the Ramset as well. Probably the fastest but it takes two people on a vertical surface. One to hold and the other to set. Its the closest you can get to being on the firing range and still working.

Re: [AFMUG] Best way to mount 2 1/2 emt pipe
We always called those 'hit pins'. I like them, but it sucks that you can never get them out without drilling them out. I prefer to set expanding anchors and then bolt to them. That way you can always remove the nut if needed.
