TIMco Metal Cavity Anchors - Silver - M5 x 37 (45mm Screw)

The maximum load capacity depends on various factors including the wall material, the specific board thickness, and the type of load (shear vs. pull-out). Always refer to TIMco's technical specifications for precise load ratings, which are typically found on product packaging or their website. For general applications, it is designed for medium to heavy loads when installed correctly in suitable cavity walls.

No, these are specifically designed as cavity fixings for hollow walls like plasterboard. They will not function correctly or provide adequate support in solid materials.

A screw length of 45mm is recommended to ensure the anchor expands properly behind the cavity wall for a secure hold.

You will need to drill a 10.0mm diameter hole for this anchor.

The TIMCO Setting Tool is designed to make the installation of multiple cavity anchors faster and more efficient by automatically expanding the anchor legs.

This anchor is suitable for board thicknesses ranging from 6mm to 13mm.

The anchor is designed to work with M5 screws, and the head type is Pan with a CombiGrip recess, allowing for compatibility with various screwdrivers.

Ensure the drill hole diameter is correct (10.0mm) and the board thickness is within the 6-13mm range. Verify that the M5 screw is long enough (45mm recommended) to engage the expanding legs of the anchor fully.

The anchor may not be fully seated against the wall, or the cavity behind the board is too small for the anchor to expand. Ensure the anchor flange is flush with the wall before tightening. If the cavity is very shallow, consider an alternative fixing.

Re-tighten the screw to ensure the anchor is fully expanded. If the issue persists, the wall material may be compromised, or the load is exceeding the anchor's capacity. Remove the fixture and consider a heavier-duty anchor or a different mounting location.

Check that the drilled hole is clean and free of debris. Ensure the drill bit used was precisely 10.0mm. You may need to slightly ream the hole if it's too tight.
