Storm Panel Anchoring System
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PanelMate is a family of screw anchors available in both internally and externally theaded variations.
Originally designed for installing hurricane panels, these versatile anchors can be used wherever
1/4"-20 threaded hardware needs to be attached to concrete, masonry or wood.
PanelMate anchors are available in seven different designs:
Pro, Female ID, TVAS Pro, TVAS Female ID, TVAS Hex, S Insert and L Insert.
GENERAL APPLICATIONS AND USES
• Storm Shutters • Storm Panels
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
+Accepts standard 1/4"-20 threaded hardware
+Available in multiple styles : Externally-threaded heads, internally-threaded heads or inserts
+Fasteners coated with Stalgard® typically show no red rust or other base metal corrosion on
significant surfaces after 1000 hours of salt spray exposure in accordance with ASTM B117
+Stalgard® coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared with fasteners with
standard zinc plating

1. Pre-drilling is not required in wood but can help prevent splitting.
2. Sizes are for Wood/Steel drill bit. An ANSI masonry bit is not suitable for wood base materials and therefore not recommended.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PanelMate Pro in Concrete and Masonry
Step 1
Using the proper drill bit size, drill
a hole into the base material to
the required depth, which is a
1/4-inch deeper than the minimum
embedment depth.
Step 2
Remove dust and debris from
the hole during drilling (e.g. dust
extractor) or following drilling
(e.g. suction, forced air) to
extract loose particles created
by drilling.
Step 3
Place the ENY156 PanelMate drive
socket onto the external hex of the
PanelMate Pro.
Step 4
Drive the PanelMate fastener in until
the washer face is seated snug tight
against the base material.
PanelMate Pro in Wood
Step 1
Place the ENY156 PanelMate
drive socket onto the external hex
of the PanelMate Pro.
Step 2
Drive the PanelMate fastener in
until the washer face is seated
against the base material. Pre-
drilling is not necessary in wood,
however, drilling a pilot hole
using a 3/16" wood/steel drill
bit will minimize the possibility of
splitting the wood.
PanelMate Female ID in Concrete and Masonry
Step 1
Using the proper drill bit size,
drill a hole into the base material
to the required depth, which
is a 1/4-inch deeper than the
minimum embedment depth.
Step 2
Remove dust and debris from the hole
during drilling (e.g. dust extractor) or
following drilling (e.g. suction, forced
air) to extract loose particles created
by drilling.
Step 3
Place the ENY192 PanelMate drive
socket into the hex opening of the
PanelMate Female ID.
Step 4
Drive the PanelMate fastener in until
the head of the fastener is flush with
the base material.
Using a 1/2" ANSI masonry bit, drill
a 7/8" deep counter-sinking hole.
PanelMate Female ID in Wood
Step 1
With 1/2" spade/paddle bit, drill a
7/8" deep counter-sinking hole in
the wood base material.
Step 2
Place the ENY192 PanelMate
drive socket into the hex
opening of the PanelMate
Female ID.
Step 3
Drive the PanelMate fastener in until the
washer face is seated against the base
material. Pre-drilling is not necessary
in wood, however, drilling a pilot hole
using a 3/16" wood/steel drill bit will
minimize the possibility of splitting the
wood.

PanelMate TVAS
Then continue with the Following Steps (depending on TVAS selected):
TVAS Pro: Continue with steps from PanelMate Pro anchors on previous page.
TVAS Female ID: Using a 1/2" ANSI masonry bit, drill a 7/8" deep counter-sinking hole in the brick. Continue with steps
from PanelMate Female ID anchors on previous page, except that no additional counter-sinking hole is required to be drilled in
the base material.
TVAS Hex: Continue with steps from PanelMate Pro anchors on previous page, except for using standard 5/16" nutsetter to
drive the anchor instead of the ENY156 PanelMate drive socket.
Step 1
Using a 1/4" ANSI masonry bit, drill
a hole through the brick veneer.
PanelMate Inserts in Concrete and Masonry
Step 1
Using the proper drill bit size, drill
a hole into the base material to
the required depth, which is a
1/4-inch deeper than the minimum
embedment depth.
Step 2
Remove dust and debris from
the hole during drilling (e.g. dust
extractor) or following drilling
(e.g. suction, forced air) to
extract loose particles created
by drilling.
Step 3
Place the ENY192 PanelMate drive
socket into the hex opening of the
PanelMate Insert.
Step 4
Drive the PanelMate fastener in until
the head of the fastener is flush against
the base material.
Note: L inserts are typically used in
applications with a stucco exterior while
S inserts are typically installed flush in
concrete and masonry base materials.
PanelMate Inserts in Wood
Step 1
With 7/16" wood/steel bit, drill a
hole in the wood base material.
Step 2
Place the ENY192 PanelMate
drive socket into the hex
opening of the PanelMate
Insert.
Step 3
Drive the PanelMate fastener in until the
head of the fastener is flush against the
base material.
Note: L inserts are typically used in
applications with a stucco exterior while
S inserts are typically installed flush in
the wood base material.

DeWalt PANELMATE is a family of versatile screw anchors designed for attaching 1/4"-20 threaded hardware to concrete, masonry, or wood. It excels in various applications, including installing storm shutters, panels, hurricane panels, and more. The PANELMATE comes in seven designs, each with unique features:
- Pro: Externally threaded heads for direct attachment to the base material.
- Female ID: Internally threaded heads for use with bolts or threaded rods.
- TVAS Pro and Female ID: Through-Veneer Anchoring System for applications with brick veneer.
- TVAS Hex: Similar to TVAS Pro, but with a hex head for driving with a standard 5/16" nutsetter.
