Recommended Install Base Materials
Solid concrete is the best base material for installation. Ask your Dero Rack representative which anchor is appropriate for your application to ensure the proper anchors are shipped with your rack. Be sure nothing is underneath the base material that could be damaged by drilling.
Installation
3/8” anchors are shipped with the rack. Place the rack in the desired location. Use a marker or pencil to outline the holes of the flange onto the base material. (TIP: If installing more than one 3V Rack, mark holes for each rack individually, as there may be slight differences between each rack). Drill the holes in accordance with the specifications shipped with the anchors. Make sure the holes are at least 6” away from any cracks in the base material. Tap in anchors and follow your specific anchor instructions provided with the rack.
Tamper Resistant Fasteners
The concrete spike is a permanent anchor. The top of the wedge anchor can also be pounded sideways after installation so that it cannot be removed. Other tamper resistant fasteners can also be purchased. When using the special tamper resistant nuts, always set and first tighten the anchors using the standard nuts included with the anchors. Once the rack is installed, replace two nuts from the bracket (opposite sides from each other) with the tamper resistant fastener. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN the tamper resistant nut.
