Anchor Installation: Core-drill Retro-t
(Typical Concrete Pool Deck Installation)
Your deck MUST have:
• Minimum footing size: 3’ - 6” x 3’ - 6” x 10” thick.• Minimum concrete strength: 2500 psi• Reinforcement: #5 rebar EW top & bottom1. Mark the center of the anchor location on your deck using the guidelines on page 4. Also
mark the center for the xing anchor 3 1/2” from the center anchor.
2. Using a 3” diameter core-drill bit, drill a 3” diameter hole at the anchor location. Make sure
to keep the bit square to the deck. Drill straight down to a depth of at least 6”. Then use a 1
1/2” drill bit for the xing anchor, drilling down at least 4”
NOTE: Create a depth marker on the drill bit with black electrical tape to make sure you drill to the right depth.
If you drill through the deck you may need to use the saw-cut installation instructions.
3. Remove plug and clean out the holes with a wire brush. Insert an air nozzle to the bottom
of the hole. Use a pump or compressed air to blow out the hole. A heat-gun may be helpful
in drying out the hole.

EPOXY (ANCHOR ADHESIVE)* MASKING TAPE
*Use HILTI RE-500-SD adhesive anchor or SIMPSON SET-XP
anchor adhesive or equivalant.
NOTE: Your local codes may require one or more permits. Check with your local building codes for the proper
permit requirements.

Anchor Installation: Core-drill Retro- t (CONTINUED)
4.Place the anchor in the hole and ‘dry-t’ it rst to make sure the anchor will be ush and
plumb with the nished deck surface when installed. Adjust the hole as needed.
NOTE: Pool decks with pavers or thick tiles may require other anchor options. Contact Aqua Creek Products.
5. Inject epoxy adhesive into each hole starting at the bottom until the hole is 1/3 to 1/2 full.
NOTE: We recommend using masking tape around the top of the anchors so that no epoxy gets inside the anchors.
7.Let the epoxy cure for at least 24 hours before installing the lift (or where applicable
according to the epoxy manufacturers’ instructions).
6. Install the anchor into the epoxy lled hole by pushing down and twisting back and
forth to evenly distribute the epoxy around the anchor. Push down until it is ush with the
nished deck surface. Clean off any excess epoxy. Adjust the anchor as needed to make
sure it is ush and plumb with the deck surface. This should be done during the adhesives’
specied ‘gel time’ (see epoxy manufacturers’instructions).

2. Install rebar in the 3’-6” x 3’-6” section of the deck that will be thickened to 10”. SEE
FIGURES B & C.
3. Set the bronze anchor sleeve in place. Make sure the center of the anchor sleeve
is no more than 44”from the pool’s edge. Set the xing anchor insert 3 1/2” from the
center of the anchor sleeve. Fixing anchor may be located anywhere on the deck, as
long as it is 3 1/2” from the center of the anchor sleeve. SEE FIGURE B.
4.Bond the anchor sleeve according to your local code requirements by using the
bonding lug and bonding screw on the side of the anchor sleeve.
5.Pour your concrete and nish the pool deck surface.
6.Once the concrete has cured, your lift is ready to be mounted into the anchor sleeve.
