Installing The Brophy D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor With Backing Plate
Updated 06/10/2021 | Published 06/01/2021
Question:
Will you please list the bolt sizing. If you took it the wrong way youd think the 4 bolts are 9/16th on the plate. I believe they are 3/8. Then the video shows carriage bolts as to not get hung up on things and yet i just had 4 of these delivered with round holes so I bought 16 carriage bolts for nothing as I wanted the carriage bolts with the round heads. If bolts etc. are not included please update the bolts, and diameter etc. why do i have 4 round holes in each of my four plates.

I attached the demonstration video for the Brophy D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor with Backing Plate - Bolt On - 1/2" Diameter - 2,000 lbs # DR1S that you were looking at. In the video you can see that the bracket does indeed have round holes, not square. We do demonstrate the installation with carriage bolts (not included) that sink into the wood floor, however, we also mention that you should use hex bolts if using the bracket on metal floor since carriage bolts wouldn't work well for metal flooring.
You are correct in saying that the round bolt holes are 3/8". Feel free to check out the attached demonstration video for more insight on installation.
