INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR FIBERGLASS STRUT! INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR FIBERGLASS STRUT!
Fiberglas will not support screws drilled and tapped into
it. The sheering force of a line cut is too great; therefore,
the screws
that hold the holding block will pull out.
We
recommend when installing the holding block onto fiberglass that a metal
plate, approximately 1/4" thick,
be embedded into the fiberglass. The
plate can be stainless steel or aluminum.
- The installation is achieved by first measuring to determine the
depth required, then routing away the glass to receive the plate. Using
stainless steel flat head screws and epoxy, mount the plate into the
routed area.
- Drill and tap into the plate and mount the holding block.
- Bond the plate and holding block by screwing a small zinc anode onto
the plate.
