Anchor head
Installation:
A joint is placed on the anchor. Then the plate, whose trumpet tube is filled with wax, is fitted. The
nut is fitted, and tensioning is performed. After cutting off the extra over-length, the cap is fixed
onto the plate, with a seal, and filled with wax. If a long cap is used, the over-length behind the nut
enables the tension in the anchor to be measured or adjusted.
