Internal threaded sleeve with building authority approval
Internal thread sleeve M 10 x 80 mm
The internally threaded sleeve has building authority approval. The internally threaded sleeve has an outer diameter of 14 mm.
Application: When attaching climbing holds to masonry, the following distinction must be made:
Is it hollow block masonry/perforated brick or solid brick? Please test the masonry where the climbing wall is to be built with a small test drilling before purchasing.
Variant 1) Hollow block masonry/perforated bricks
For mounting in hollow block masonry/perforated bricks, you will need a mesh sleeve in addition to the threaded sleeve. You will also need a tube of injection adhesive, naturally with building code approval. One bottle of injection adhesive is sufficient for approximately 5-7 holes, i.e., mounting points for climbing holds, in this type of masonry.
Detailed assembly instructions are included with the injection adhesive.
Variant 2) Solid brick
Solid bricks are bricks without air holes. In this case, you don't need mesh sleeves, but only the internally threaded sleeve and the injection adhesive, naturally with building authority approval. One bottle of injection adhesive is sufficient for approximately 10 to 12 holes in this type of masonry, i.e., fixing points for climbing holds.
Detailed assembly instructions are included with the injection adhesive.
Features and assembly
Characteristics:

properties of the chipboard screws:
- Fully threaded screw with an attractive pan head for universal
fastening of metal fittings or plastic brackets in wood
in dry indoor or damp areas. - Ideal power transmission thanks to RW drive
- More power due to a larger contact area on the bit
- Increased stability, one-handed operation, precise positioning thanks to
the plug-in effect and perfect bit fit - ASSY 4 PH Steel galvanized Full thread Pan Head RW

Conclusion:
The "PROFESSIONAL" special T-nut offers a
high-quality alternative to the standard T-nut. It also has advantages
over other special T-nuts that
are mounted with four chipboard screws. This is due not only to the halved
installation effort of the
"PROFESSIONAL" special T-nut, but also to its increased load-bearing capacity. The two holes
for the chipboard screws have a significantly larger diameter than
the four holes in a conventional special T-nut. This allows for
the use of thicker screws when installing the "PROFESSIONAL
," providing optimal stability for your climbing holds.
Installation:
As a first step, create a grid and mark all the locations where the T-nuts will later be installed. For bouldering walls, a 10 cm hole spacing is recommended (95 T-nuts required per square meter) or a 15 cm spacing (45 T-nuts required per square meter), with the second row offset from the row above. Alternatively, you can use exactly as many T-nuts as you have climbing holds. The disadvantage of this method is that you have limited options for repositioning the holds on the wall. Furthermore, if you extend the climbing wall to add more T-nuts, the entire panels would have to be removed. After marking the locations for the T-nuts, drill 12 mm holes at these points. The T-nut is then inserted into the panel from the back through these holes. For a better hold, apply a special wood-to-metal adhesive to the T-nut.
