Can Wej-it Inject-Tite Epoxy be used with smooth rods?
Yes, under some conditions Inject-Tite can be used under some shear only load conditions. For example, the doweling of a new slab to an existing slab. Wej-it does not recommend the use of adhesives for tension load applications using smooth rod. Where tension loads exist, the embedded anchor material must be all thread rod or deformed bar. Wej-it adhesives as well as nearly all other manufacturers adhesive use mechanical bonding between the anchor body (all thread rod or deformed bar) and the adhesive. Using a smooth rod virtually eliminates the mechanical bond between the anchor body and the adhesive, which greatly reduces the tension load capacity of the anchoring system.
