- 2:13–3:24 Drill Anchor Holes in Concrete
From Install Outdoor Handrail, Step 4: Drill Pilot Holes in Concrete
Using a hammer drill with a 3/8-inch SDS bit, drill the four marked holes into the concrete. To ensure correct depth, wrap tape around the drill bit a quarter-inch (0.25 inches) further than the length of the wedge anchor. This allows space for the anchor to expand. While drilling, use a vacuum cleaner nozzle near the drill bit to immediately suck up concrete dust, which helps keep the holes clean and clear. Once drilled, remove the tape and thoroughly clean out any remaining debris from the holes using the vacuum.
- 3:24–4:36 Install Wedge Anchors
From Install Outdoor Handrail, Step 5: Install Concrete Anchors
Insert the wedge anchors into the cleaned holes. The expansion mechanism should be on the bottom. Lightly tap each anchor with a hammer until it is mostly seated, leaving some threads exposed above the concrete surface. Ensure the anchors are straight and aligned, not tilted, to allow the post to sit flat. While the design allows for some wiggle room, aim for precise placement.
