Good evening everyone,
I have meanwhile tried to fasten the bracket with the supplied bolt anchors. Of the 6 bolts, unfortunately 2 could not be tightened at all, as first the masonry, and then the thread gave way.
Now I intend to install the bracket with M8 threaded rods and injection mortar. This also brings me to the next problem (?).
As can be seen in the following sketch (/ at the top of the first picture), the bracket has a slight bend. Do the webs of the bracket (with the holes for wall mounting) have to lie flush against the wall after installation, or is a (hand-tight) tightening / putting under tension sufficient? According to the mortar data sheet, the maximum torque when fastening is only 4 Nm (M8 threaded rod). The tensile load is specified in a range from 6.8 kN (C 20/25) to 42.0 kN (C 50/60).
Does anyone perhaps know an alternative heavy-duty fastening for sand-lime brick?
Please, I would appreciate help. Many, many thanks!
