When most people think of Rockefeller Plaza in the winter, they picture people skating on the ice rink and the holiday tree shining bright across the plaza. This year they may think of Allfasteners conducting pull tests of the new VF200PRO!
Recently, Allfasteners was asked to come to site to conduct pull tests on cinder-ash concrete ceilings in different plaza buildings. An opportunity Matthew Walker, one of our sales representatives, was excited about saying, “another awesome day of pull-testing at Rockefeller Plaza.”
When asked about the job and the cinder-ash concrete ceilings, Matthew replied saying, “I used the Allfasteners VF200PRO epoxy into a ½” x 3” hole then twisted in an Allfasteners 3/8” x 4” threaded stud and waited 30 minutes. That’s it. Yes, it’s that easy!”
When the epoxy was set properly, the pull test per anchor came out at 3100 – 3500lbs. across four anchors! Happy with the results Matthew was excited about another positive pull test conducted using Allfasteners products that helped the customer get the approvals they needed and saved them money.
