The AA405 can be installed using either chemical anchors or through-bolts depending on site conditions.
Option 1 – Chemical Fix (recommended for waterproofed or pebble-topped roofs)
- 1 × Hilti RE 500 or ICCONS Hybrid GEN2 (Ø 18 mm hole)
- Chemical anchoring seals the penetration — no extra sealant required.
- Ensure proper hole cleaning (3× air + 3× brush) before injecting chemical.
Option 2 – Through Bolt Fix
- 1 × M16 through bolt (Ø 18 mm hole) with backing plate (BP1 or BP2), washer, and lock nut.
- Torque to 40 Nm ensuring at least 3 threads visible past the nut.
Edge Distance:Â Maintain a minimum of 200 mm from slab edges or between anchors unless verified by a structural engineer.
Installation & Maintenance
Maintenance & Certification
- Proof load test: 7.5 kN for 2 minutes (for chemical or friction fixes)
- Visual inspection only for through-bolt fixes
- Annual recertification required under AS/NZS 1891.4 and 4488.2
All anchors must be inspected and re-certified at intervals not exceeding 12 months.
Tips for Use
- Always confirm structural adequacy of the substrate before installation.
- Use Hilti RE 500 in waterproofed applications — excess resin forms a waterproof seal.
- Avoid installation near slab edges without engineering approval.
- Combine with static line systems or Allfits anchor ranges for complete roof safety coverage.
- Record the anchor serial number and proof load certificate for compliance tracking.
Where to Use
The AA405 is designed for:
- Commercial and residential rooftops with toppings or waterproofing layers
- Facade maintenance and rope access cleaning works
- Fall protection systems on concrete or structural steel
- Solar array maintenance, plant platforms, and multi-level rooftops
- Retrofit applications where surface build-up prevents flush anchor installations
Its raised profile makes it the perfect choice for roofs where a low-profile anchor would be buried or obstructed by gravel, tiles, or protective coatings.
Tools Required
- Rebar detector (e.g. Hilti ReoScan)
- Rotary hammer drill + 18 mm masonry bit
- Air pump and cleaning brush
- Chemset gun for adhesive injection
- Two spanners (for through-bolt installation)
