Are Tapcons better than wedge anchors?
Wedge anchors are pretty reliable & easy to install, if you stay well above the manufacturers’ edge distances. Tapcons are also easy to install & reliable. If the hole size is right, I doubt that you will overdrive many because the shaft will fail before the threads will strip.
How much deeper than the anchor being installed should the hole be drilled?
Drill a hole 1/2″ deeper than the anchor will penetrate into the concrete making sure that the minimum embedment requirements are met. The hole can be drilled while the fixture is in place. It is important to make sure that the bit diameter being used will fit through the hole in the fixture.
