CE1091002 Rawl Plug Gasket & Bolt Set for Surface Mounted Step Anchor

As a retailer of hot tub spare parts and pool equipment, I supply installation and mounting hardware for pool accessories. This complete fixing set provides all components needed to securely mount surface-fixed step anchors to pool surrounds.

Kit Contents

This set includes rawl plugs, gaskets, and bolts specifically sized for surface mounted step anchor installation. The gasket provides weatherproof sealing between the anchor base and mounting surface, preventing water ingress that could cause corrosion or loosening over time.

Purpose and Function

Step anchors require secure, stable mounting to safely support pool ladders and steps under user loading. This fixing set ensures proper installation on concrete, stone, or other masonry pool surrounds. The rawl plugs expand within drilled holes to create firm anchorage points, while bolts provide the clamping force securing the anchor to the surface.

Installation Requirements

Installation requires drilling appropriately sized holes into the pool surround at the anchor mounting points. Insert rawl plugs into drilled holes, ensuring they sit flush with the surface. Position the step anchor with gasket in place, then insert and tighten bolts through the anchor into the rawl plugs.

Tighten bolts evenly and progressively to compress the gasket uniformly and achieve proper seal. Avoid overtightening which can strip threads or crack the mounting surface. Check bolt tension periodically as part of regular pool safety inspections.

Safety Considerations

Properly secured step anchors are essential for safe pool entry and exit. Loose or inadequately fixed anchors can cause ladder movement, creating fall hazards. Regular inspection and maintenance of anchor fixings helps ensure continued safe operation.

Replace fixings if rawl plugs become loose in mounting holes, bolts show corrosion or thread damage, or gaskets deteriorate and no longer provide effective sealing.
