    Installation Instructions

    TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED
    Tools Needed Materials
    • 10mm & 13 mm drill bits • Floor Anchors
    • (included in the starter kits)
    • 5 minute epoxy
    • Large countersink
    • Q-tips
    • Pencil
    • Masking tape
    • Tape measure
    • Thin hatch tape
    • Electric drill
    • Wrench
    • Screwdriver

    INSTALLATION STEPS

    1
    The starter pack contains four Floor
    Anchors, a couple of drill bits, a tap and
    countersink (taper cutter), which you
    need to make a neat job of the project. Once
    you have these tools in hand, you can buy
    additional anchors as you need them.

    2
    Mark out the center of the spot where
    you want the finished Floor Anchor to
    sit. Don’t put it too close to the edge
    of the sole panel, and make sure it is not
    closer than about ½” from the edge of the
    underlying support structure. A piece of soft
    plywood is shown for example here.

    3
    With the floor panel held or clamped
    firmly onto the support, drill through the
    panel until you reach the predetermined
    depth you have marked on the drill bit
    with masking tape. Ensure that the drill is
    perpendicular to the panel.
    4
    Remove the floor panel and set it aside,
    then tap the hole in the floor timber or
    support. If you do not have the correct
    tap wrench you can use a small socket and
    ratched handle.

    5
    The next step is to open out the holes
    in the floor panel with the 13mm drill.
    A drill press is advised if you have the
    option. A handheld drill works fine, but make
    sure to keep the drill upright.

    6
    Using a countersink ensures that the
    anchor sits flush with the top surface of
    the floor panel. You will need to apply
    a fair amount of pressure, as this cuts with a
    reaming action. You can’t drill too far, though,
    because the collar keeps the bit from going
    any deeper than is necessary.

    7
    Apply thin hatch tape as required to the
    underlying surface of the floor panel. It
    provides cushioning and silences any
    creaks and groans.

    8
    After blowing out any dust from the
    tapped hole, smear in a little epoxy
    with the end of a Q-tip or other small
    stick. Don’t use too much, this is simply to
    make sure that the bottom half of the anchor
    stays put. If you use too much epoxy, it could
    squeeze out and glue the floor panel in place.
    The epoxy used here is a 5 minute epoxy to
    speed things up, if you use regular epoxy, let
    it cure overnight.
    9
    Spread a little epoxy on the countersunk
    ridges on the top anchor section.

    10
    While the epoxy is still wet, use
    a large screwdriver to thread the
    complete anchor through the
    top panel and screw it into the tapped hole
    beneath.

    11
    Screw the anchor down until
    countersink is flush with the surface
    of the floor panel, as shown. Wipe up
    any epoxy that squeezes out, and allow it to
    cure. The job is now complete.

    12
    You can now release the panel with
    a half-turn of the screw. You can see
    here how the Floor Anchor works:
    a bayonet-type connector engages into the
    permanently fitted female receptacle.

    13
    You should now be free of creaks
    and moans from the floor.
    TOP TIP
    When you tape the drill bit to mark the
    hole depth, leave a tag of tape sticking out
    from the side like a small flag. This will whirl
    around, sweeping away the sawdust when it
    reaches the correct depth.
