Powers Fasteners, Inc. Fast Set Epoxy Advisory:
Powers no longer sells Fast Set Epoxy. Fast Set has been sold under and identified by multiple part numbers and names. They are listed below by Powers' part number and/or by various names under which the product may have been marketed.^1,2 Despite the multiple designations, they all refer to the same Power-Fast Fast Set product. Fast Set has failed all creep tests conducted pursuant to AC58 and is not recommended for sustained tensile load applications, including without limitation sustained dead load or live load applications. Fast Set received ICBO approval for "short term loads, such as those resulting from wind or earthquake forces only" and only with an increased factor of safety. As with all adhesive anchors, Powers recommends that the design professional determine whether Fast Set has been used appropriately. Ongoing inspection of an installed adhesive anchor is highly recommended, and any slippage may be a sign of failure. For the Federal Highway Administration technical advisory regarding Use and Inspection of Adhesive Anchors in Federal-Aid Projects (T 5140.30), please refer to:
