Nail - In Anchors 1

[PEinVA]

We are looking for catalogs for the nail-in drop in anchors from the mid to late 1980s. We are investigating some ceiling that failed from these items and are trying to determine if these type of anchors were ever acceptable for overhead use. Anyone know where we can get these from?

Thanks for the help guys!

See the note on overhead safety factors. Almost every major and minor manufacture of anchors makes these.

PackerFan,
Thanks for the link. I have found recent catalogs with these and am aware of the note for not using them overhead. I didn't realize Hilti's only had a greater overhead safety factor. Thank you for the information and pointing this oversight out to me.
