APPLICATION

Reference must be made to further documentation where applicable, such as relevant method statement, application manual and installation or working instructions. The dimensions of the drill holes for the Sika® FerroGard® anodes depend on type of anode and its size. Please refer to the relevant PDS of the anode for details. Prepare the end of the cartridge, insert into a standard sealant gun and fit the nozzle. Extrude Sika® FerroGard®-500 Crete into the pre-drilled holes ensuring that it comes into full contact with the sides of the hole and avoiding any air entrapment. Immediately insert a Sika® FerroGard® anode into the mortar ensuring the mortar encapsulates the complete anode. Once the embedding mortar has hardened sufficiently to prevent any anode movement. Proceed with connecting feeder wire and eventually a temporary power supply.
