1. Insert slotted bolt into
anchor head, attach loosely.
Pull strap past bolt head and
cut strap so that 12-15 inches
of strap are available to wrap
onto the slotted bolt. 2. Insert the strap end into
the slot in bolt until flush with
opposite side of bolt.
3. Using 15/16” wrench or
socket, turn the bolt, winding
the strap so that a minimum
of four to five complete turns
are made, and the strap is
adequately tensioned. 4. Hold the bolt under ten-
sion while tightening the nut,
drawing the head of the bolt
into the recess. After the bolt
is within the recess, continue
to tighten the nut until securely
fastened.
Tip: TIE DOWN’S SPEED WRENCH cuts time required to ten-
sion strap in half!

2 Seals - 2 Crimps per seal
Strap Attachment
To lengthen strap in the field, a double crimp
seal splice is required. Overlap strap approxi-
mately 12 inches and use two crimp seals
evenly spaced, with 2 crimps per seal.
One crimp seal is used when
strap is attached to a sidewall
bracket or a strap connec-
tor. If the bracket does not
have a radius edge, a radius
clip (short “U” shaped piece
of strap) must be placed between the strap and contact point to
protect the strap from sharp edges. Verify state requirements for
number of crimp seals required.

Strap Tensioning - Speed Wrench
Tie Down’s SPEED WRENCH simplifies anchor installation with a
design that allows for one handed operation for installing slot-
ted bolts and tensioning strap. The SPEED WRENCH has a 15/16”
impact socket on one side and a 15/16” “nut” on the other.
Combine this with your own ratchet and 15/16” socket and you
have the fastest way to tighten slotted bolts!
