3.2.1.10 DX KWIK SYSTEM
3.2.1.10.1 Product description
DX KWIK is a method of fastening into concrete that combines the speed and portability of powder-actuated fastenings with the performance and consistency of anchors .
The DX KWIK system requires a shallow , small diameter hole to be drilled into the concrete , then a powder-actuated fastener is driven through the hole into the concrete .
Product features :
Two very important fastening principles are achieved by using the DX KWIK system :
• The fastener obtains its holding power in the concrete deeper than standard powder-actuated fastenings without pre-drilling
• Concrete stresses are distributed deeper below the concrete surface
DX KWIK System advantages
• Higher allowable loads
• Ability to fasten into high-strength concrete
• Virtually eliminates concrete surface spalls
• More consistent fastening

23 mm
5 mm Ø
1 . Drill a hole into the concrete using a TX-C 5 / 23 special DX KWIK bit .
2 . Insert the special high strength fastener into the DX tool leaving the fastener point protruding out .
Note :
• Typically , DX KWIK fasteners are 47 mm minimum in length .
• As of publication date , only X-U series fasteners have been tested . Reference Section 3.2.6.3 for allowable load capacity table .
3 . Using the required cartridge power drive the fastener into the concrete .
* These are abbreviated instructions which may vary by application . ALWAYS review / follow the instructions accompanying the product .
