Tech Tips: Deepening an Existing Anchor Prep On a Jobsite

It is fairly simple to increase the depth of your EMA prep in the field. Here are the tools you will need:

• Ball Pin Hammer
• A 2nd Hammer of almost any design
• Ear Plugs or other Hearing Protection

1.  Place the rounded end of your ball pin hammer in the punch and dimpled prep.
2.  While holding the ball pin hammer in the punch and dimple prep, strike the other end of the ball pin hammer with your 2^nd hammer. A few swings of the 2^nd hammer should do the trick. 

Note: Do not attempt this in the field if your frame does not have a pipe sleeve type support.
