With a considerably greater evaluated (ETA) tensile load-bearing capacity and material strength than its predecessor, the Fischer FAZ II Plus bolt anchor stands out. Cleaning the drill hole is no longer necessary because the setting procedure has been simplified to be faster and easier for sizes ranging from M8 to M24. A wide variety of building materials, such as concrete, sand-lime brick, and steel-fiber-reinforced concrete are allowed for use with this adaptable anchor.

The fischer FAZ II Plus bolt anchors increase tensile load-bearing capacity and material strength

Notably, the FAZ II Plus is assessed (ETA) for suitability in dynamic applications and boasts an impressive service life of 120 years, making it ideal for projects with stringent requirements. According to Mr. Mayank Kalra, Managing Director of fischer India, “this powerful anchor is designed to meet the highest standards in various demanding applications, perfectly suited to the diverse climatic conditions of the Indian market.”

Ideal for “moving” applications: FAZ II Plus M16-M24 for dynamic loads

FAZ II Plus, the latest generation of fischer bolt anchors, was made for transferring high static and medium dynamic loads in cracked and non-cracked concrete. The anchors are also suitable for use in sand-lime brick (except for dynamic applications). A European Technical Assessment (ETA) provides added safety. A general design approval allows anchorages in steel fibre-reinforced concrete with the FAZ II, FAZ II R and FAZ II HCR variants (M6-M24 diameter). Railings, steel beams, pipeline suspensions, cable runs, consoles, facade substructures, wood structures, lifts, conveyor belts, hoists, and many more can permanently and safely be fastened in various construction materials with the powerful anchor.

The new ETA confirms the suitability of diameter versions M16- M24 in galvanized and stainless-steel materials for dynamic loads. Compared to the previous generation, the tensile load- bearing capacity has increased, and a higher strength material is processed. This requires fewer fastening points and anchors per application and project, reducing the time and cost involved. An external assessment confirms that the FAZ II Plus service life of 120 years is ideal for infrastructure projects and structures designed for a long-life span. Regarding applications in seismic regions, the assessment (ETA) covers seismic performance categories C1 and C2, both with and without the FFD filling disc for filling annular gaps, depending on the diameter.

Compliant installation (ETA) can be completed in addition to abandoned holes. According to the RWS fire curve, the evaluation also includes nuts in compliance with ISO and confirms that they have greater fire resistance characteristics than the previous product, with temperatures reaching 1,350 °C and fire durations reaching up to 180 minutes.

Users can use pre-positioned, push-through, or stand-off installation to process the FAZ II Plus bolt anchor in holes made with a hollow, hammer, or diamond drill, depending on the circumstances. Because there is no need to clean the drill hole, installation is quicker and simpler. By tightening the nut, the cone bolt is drawn into the expansion clip and expands securely against the drill hole wall. At that point, the anchor can start carrying weight right away. Installing dynamic programs safely is made easier with an extra Dynamic Set. Therefore, with minimal load variations, FAZ II Plus M16-24 is an effective fastening solution under dynamic loads.
