Q: What is the difference between A7+ and C6+?

C6+: Best-in-class performance adhesive for your most heavy duty and specialty applications .
Q: Can I install Red Head adhesives in wet conditions?
A: Red Head Adhesives are approved for installation in all water conditions.
IMPORTANT: Most adhesives in the marketplace would not work or are not approved for installation in all water conditions. You should always confirm with manufacturer before use.
Q: Is a different product needed to install anchors into Hollow masonry?
A: A7+ and C6+ have been designed and approved for installation into hollow-masonry.
The ITW Screens and umbrellas are design for hollow connections. Note that the screens should not be interchangeable between manufactures. Please only use Red head accessories for hollow masonry connections.
Q: What are the advantages of using adhesives vs. mechanical anchors?
A: Adhesives have better spacing, the anchors can be installed closer together and closer to the edge of a slab. Adhesives are stronger in some case and be a preferred option if the load is vibratory, or if you need higher resistance.
