Concrete – Drilling depth for 3″ anchor sleeve

anchorconcretedrillfence

Im concrete, How deep does the hole have to be so that a 3" anchor sleeve is most effective?

I'm drilling in very hard concrete, and I've drilled about 2.5" in depth. Is that good enough?

They'll be used to anchor these simpson ez bases.

IMHO full depth = full strength.

If you don’t go full depth, will you add washers to make the anchor fit snug to base?
