Hi guys,

What determines a "deep embedment" of rebar and when do we need to use the piston plugs?

Hi community members,

In relation to piston plugs and their use for deep embedment, it is referenced in the product’s European Technical Assessment (ETA). Please refer to the below section from the ETA, which states that for embedment depths > 250mm, the piston plug should be used. Also note that a piston plug is always recommended for all overhead applications and I would also encourage referencing the instructions for use (IFU) for clear directions on using the piston plug. 



Cheers
Tony
