Per the manufacturer's requirements for post-installed anchors, the 1/2" x5" drilled holes in concrete must be within 6 degrees of plumb. As a Special Inspector, I must verify a few hundred holes based on Chapter 17 of the IBC. Is there a device that I can quickly measure the accuracy of the drilled hole to confirm if it's within six degrees of plumbness? These anchors support life safety piping and must meet this criterion.
The only way I can think of is to place a 10" drill bit into the opening, let it hang down 5", and use a framing square, but this will take forever.
I hope someone knows of a different way I can verify the degree of plumbness.
