The Upat anchor rod ASTA R is a versatile accessory for chemical fastening. This threaded rod made of stainless steel is particularly suitable for outdoor fastening in various building materials with all injection mortar and cartridge systems from Upat. The most economical use of the anchor rod is in combination with the cartridge UKA 3 Plus. When many fastening points are processed in succession, it is advisable to combine it with the injection mortar cartridges. During installation with the mortar cartridge, the anchor rod is set using a rotary hammer with a hammering action. During the setting process, the mortar cartridge is destroyed, mixed, and activates the mortar mass. When installed with injection mortars, the threaded rod is manually pushed into the drill hole with slight twisting movements. The system with the Upat ASTA R anchor rod is particularly frequently used for securing base plates and steel constructions.
