Tapcons are good, but depends on the load. I used a ton of sleeve anchors
to put dumpster gates back on grouted block when the garbage men or the wind
took them off. They have a sliding sleeve for most of their length, not the
wedge type that are meant for hard concrete. They are relatively
inexpensive, particularly when bought at a fastener house, and by the box.

Simpson makes wonderful epoxy. They make a heavy bodied one....
You can install just about anything in concrete with this epoxy.
(threaded rod, anchor bolts, carriage bolts pushed through a bracket and
then into the concrete drilled location........)
It is used for earthquake retrofit.....It is a strong attachment....

Did something like that a decade ago, and it is still in A1 shape.
Bought some stainless steel threaded rod, 5/16" IIRC. Used a 3/8"
carbide masonry bit and carefully drilled the holes about 3" deep.
Filled the holes with1:1 slow cure epoxy and inserted 5" pieces of the
rod. Next day, finished installing flange, trimmed off excess rod and

Hi,
I have similar set up in my back porch steps with Aluminum railing.
I used tapcon screws. I guess it all depends how solid it is.

I need to attach a rail to my 92 year old Mom's front steps. I am using a
1 inch galvanized pipe, 60 inches long, with 90 degree elbows on each end,
and 1 inch floor flanges for attachment at each end.
The pillars that I will attach to are some kind of mortar or concrete. It
is 50 year old construction, but it is something that was obviously formed

Re: Water Heater Thermostat settings ?

There is a lot of miss info in this thread about legionella.
It's mainly a problem for water that is _stored_ at below 60C.
So you can use a wax cart mixer to mix hot water fom the tank at say 65C
with cold water to produce a safe 44C.
I don't know that specific water heater you have but the sealed type that
