Anchors to Existing Masonry
Anchors to Existing Masonry
(OP)
On one of our jobs, we had called out epoxy anchors into existing masonry. The contractor went ahead and used expansion anchors instead. The loads are very small, about 100# at each anchor. It is a short open corridor canopy w/ existing masonry on either side.
Do expansion anchors work in masonry/CMU?
The connection is on the face of masonry.

I was looking at the Hilti Anchor Selection Guide (pages 52-56) in 2011 catalog and it seems expansion anchors cannot be used in masonry. I just trying to be sure.

Most are not acceptable - even into brick.
You can only use ones that have been tested for the specific application.
I thought Hilti or Powers had a couple that could be used....but their tension loads are relatively low.
Check carefully..
