FAQs

What does ETA-certified mean for these anchors?

ETA-certified means the anchors have been assessed and approved by the European Technical Assessment, signifying they meet stringent European standards for safety and performance in concrete fixings.

What is the ZYP finish?

ZYP stands for Zinc Yellow Passivated. This is a surface treatment applied to steel to provide enhanced protection against corrosion and rust.

Can these anchors be used in brickwork?

These anchors are specifically designed and certified for use in solid concrete. Their performance in brick or other masonry materials is not guaranteed and may require testing or a different type of anchor.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a hammer drill with a masonry bit of the correct diameter for the hole, a cleaning brush or vacuum for the hole, and a specific setting tool designed for drop-in anchors to expand them correctly.

How do I choose the correct size anchor?

The anchors are M16/20 x 65, meaning they are suitable for M16 or M20 threaded rods and have a length of 65mm. Ensure your application's load requirements and material thickness are compatible with this size.

Can I reuse a drop-in anchor once it has been set?

Once a drop-in anchor has been set and expanded, it is generally not recommended for removal and reuse, as the expansion process can deform the anchor, compromising its holding power.

Troubleshooting

Anchor does not set properly.

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct diameter and depth, and that it is completely clean of dust and debris before inserting the anchor. Verify the correct setting tool is being used and struck with sufficient force.

Bolt or rod will not thread into the anchor.

Check that the correct size bolt/rod (M16 or M20) is being used. Ensure the anchor is fully expanded and the internal threads are not damaged. Make sure debris has not entered the anchor's internal thread.

Poor holding power after installation.

Confirm the anchor was installed in solid concrete. Re-check hole preparation and setting procedure. If the concrete is compromised, a different anchoring solution may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • ETA-certified for verified safety in concrete applications.
  • ZYP finish offers superior corrosion resistance for durability.
  • Simple drop-in installation reduces labor time and complexity.
  • Made from robust steel for dependable load-bearing capacity.
  • Versatile for securing fixtures, supports, and heavy fittings.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for solid concrete; performance in other materials may vary.
  • Requires a specific hole size for correct engagement.
  • Not suitable for dynamic or vibrating loads without further engineering assessment.
  • Requires appropriate tools for installation (e.g., setting tool).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drill a hole in the concrete of the specified diameter (refer to manufacturer's instructions for M16/20 anchors).
  2. Clean the drilled hole thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.
  3. Insert the drop-in anchor into the hole, ensuring it is flush with the surface.
  4. Using the appropriate setting tool, strike the anchor firmly to expand it within the concrete.
  5. Insert the M16 or M20 bolt or threaded rod and tighten securely.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use in solid concrete. Performance in aerated concrete, brick, or other masonry may vary and is not guaranteed without specific testing.
  • Compatible with M16 or M20 threaded bolts or rods.

Care:

  • While the ZYP finish offers corrosion resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to highly aggressive chemical environments.
  • Ensure anchors are installed correctly and not overtightened, which could damage the concrete or the anchor.
  • Periodically inspect fixings in critical applications for any signs of stress or corrosion.
