The Simpson HDIASTS62 5/8" Setting Tool for HDIA62 is a purpose-built installation tool from Simpson designed to properly drive and expand the Hollow Drop-In Internally Threaded Anchor in solid base materials. Sized specifically at 5/8" to match the HDIA62 anchor, this setting tool ensures the anchor is seated and reinforced correctly within the drilled hole, delivering the secure mechanical hold that overhead and structural installations demand.

Key Features

• Dedicated compatibility with the HDIA62 anchor - engineered exclusively for the Simpson Hollow Drop-In model HDIA62, so installers can be confident the tool fits and functions as intended without guesswork.
• Drives and expands hollow drop-in anchors in solid materials - strongly reinforces the anchor within brick, normal-weight concrete, and lightweight concrete, producing a reliable mechanical hold that meets the demands of professional installations.
• Supports a wide range of overhead applications - anchors set with this tool are suited for suspending electrical cable trays, supporting HVAC ductwork, and installing fire sprinkler pipe and sprinkler head hangers, making it a versatile part of any mechanical or structural toolkit.
• 5/8" sizing matched to anchor requirements - the precise size match eliminates the risk of improper setting that can occur with non-dedicated tools, protecting both installation integrity and long-term performance.

Why This Product

• Correct setting is non-negotiable - using a setting tool matched exactly to the HDIA62 anchor ensures the anchor expands fully and locks in place, which is critical to achieving the anchor's intended holding strength in solid substrates.
• Broad substrate versatility in one tool - approved for use in brick, normal-weight concrete, and lightweight concrete, this single setting tool covers the solid base materials most commonly encountered on commercial and industrial job sites.
• Built for demanding overhead systems - from fire sprinkler hangers to HVAC ductwork and electrical cable tray suspension, anchors set with this tool are trusted across the overhead trades, reflecting a product designed with real-world application requirements in mind.
• A trusted Simpson-engineered solution - as a Simpson product designed to pair directly with their own HDIA62 anchor, the HDIASTS62 reflects the same engineering intent as the anchor itself, reducing compatibility risk and simplifying specification for contractors and engineers alike.
