Does Ultrabond EPX-3CC have an NSF drinking-water listing?
Yes. Ultrabond EPX-3CC has an NSF/ANSI 61 drinking-water listing on the current EPX sheet.
When should a crew pick Ultrabond EPX-3CC instead of Ultrabond HYB-2CC for install temperature?
Use Ultrabond EPX-3CC when the base is in the 48 to 108 F window on the EPX sheet. Ultrabond HYB-2CC is the hybrid that can go down to 23 F. Temperature decides the grade, not cartridge size.
Is Ultrabond EPX-3CC approved in lightweight concrete?
Yes. Ultrabond EPX-3CC is listed for lightweight concrete on the current sheet. Confirm the design in ATC Pro Anchor Design.
Does ATC Pro Anchor Design cover Ultrabond EPX-3CC?
Yes. ATC Pro Anchor Design covers Ultrabond EPX-3CC against ESR-4533.
Can Ultrabond EPX-3CC go in a water-filled hole?
Yes. Ultrabond EPX-3CC is suitable for dry, water-saturated, and water-filled holes with threaded rod or rebar. Hole condition is a listed use on the EPX sheet.
Does Ultrabond EPX-3CC have an ICC-ES report for cracked concrete?
Yes. ESR-4533 covers Ultrabond EPX-3CC for cracked and uncracked concrete. Use that report in ATC Pro Anchor Design rather than a code-year list.
