Any of you guys ever drill and use epoxy anchors for conduits supports? I'd imagine it's time consuming.

We used glass capsule chem anchors years ago but I see little advantage for regular concrete. What's the application and who wants to use them?

I like them for outside installations as it keeps the water out of the anchor. Have seen the concrete cracked from water in with a standard anchor and it freezing.
Don't see an advantage for inside applications, or outside applications in areas that don't get hard freezes.
There is a time issue as they have to set before you can put any load on them, and you need to be careful how tight you make the nut...did some with a maximum permitted torque of 15 pound feet.
