Do not drill into mortar joints! Concrete must meet ASTM C-90 specifications. • Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor. • Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard- ware and components. • Never exceed the Maximum Load Capacity of 50 lb (22.7 kg). Installation to Concrete Ceilings ACC 203 (Alligator® concrete anchors) are recommended. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm).
