Bang-It Concrete Inserts Spec Sheet
This Bang-It concrete insert from Powers Fasteners is designed for installation in and through composite steel deck (i.e. pan-deck) used to support newly poured concrete floors or roof slabs.
After installation, the protective sleeve of the insert protrudes below the surface of the deck. The sleeves are color coded by size and allow overhead attachment of steel threaded rod in sizes ranging from 1/4" to 3/4" in diameter. The sleeve prevents sprayed fireproofing material and acoustical dampening products from clogging the internal threads of the insert. It also prevents burying, masking or losing the insert location. A hex impact plate offers resistance to rotation within the concrete as a steel threaded rod is being installed.
