fasten stainless steel plates into cement floor

Aug 03, 2006 3 Replies

I am installing a stainless steel (SS) cable shelving system in a retail space.



I have multiple circular SS plates which i need to inset flush and fasten to an existing concrete floor. What is the best way to affix these plates in a secure way? The research i've done thus far suggested that when using masonary screws, a minimum distance of 5 times the diameter of the screw should be maintained between screws to conserve the integrity of the concrete floor, however the plate is only 2" in diameter.



thanks



There are powder actuated fastening tools which are designed for this purpose. It uses the equivalent of a .22 cartridge to shoot masonry nails.

Drill a 2" hole, fill it with epoxy, and set the screws in that?
