Re: Post-Installed Threaded Insert

Can you remove and re-install the threaded rod that the HDI accepts or does it need the bolt to be permanent to create the wedging and bond with the concrete.

The HDI looked like it had smooth walls so it seemed to rely on the threaded rod to be installed to create the holding force.

I need something that can be reinstalled several times while leaving the insert in-place.

Dick,

Can the HDI's be installed into existing concrete? They looked like they were embeds in before the concrete is poured.

Anyone out there know of a post-installed concrete insert that has internal threads that would allow for an all-thread rod to be threaded in?



Similar to a ferrule or burke insert only it's drilled in to existing concrete?

TIA,
