Securing Scotgrip® anti-slip material to open grating/grille using Type 'S' fixings
  1. Place the anti-slip material in the position required.
  2. Put the bolt through the pre-drilled hole in the anti-slip material and through the grating/grille.
  3. Place the u-clamp on the underside of the grating/grille and through the bolt.
  4. Screw the nyloc nut onto the bolt and hand tighten it. Repeat this process with the remaining fixings on the piece of material you are working on to ensure all bolts have a proper seating.
  5. Place a socket wrench or spanner onto the nyloc nut and at the same time place a variable speed drill with appropriate screwdriver bit onto the dome head of the bolt, slowly tighten the nyloc nut ensuring that the u-clamp remains fitted to the underside of the grating/grille.
  6. Tighten the type 'S' fixing until the anti-slip material is securely fixed to the grating/grille.
Type 'S' fixings are available ex-stock from Scotgrip (UK) Ltd.

    50mm (2") (HPS-1 6/15 x40)
  3. Use a 6mm Ø (1/4" Ø) drill bit to drill holes in the concrete to the required depth.
  4. Insert the concrete hammer screw through the pre-drilled holes in the anti-slip and into the drilled hole in the concrete.
  5. Use a hammer to drive the fixings through, taking care not to damage the anti-slip surface.
  6. The anti-slip material should now be secure.
