All Indicators currently have a profiled plug incorporated into the design of each tactile indicator which suits a pre drilled 8mm hole. The depth of hole is dependant on the substrate material. Typically a 25mm depth hole is sufficient when fixing the tactile indicator to concrete.
Austact can provide a drill template to assist with drilling to the required matrix standard. These templates are available in 300mm x 600mm or 600mm x 600mm for D.I.Y. kits. Location pins are supplied to allow for easy longer matrix applications. Alternately, Austact can supply and install in most areas.
