FAQs

What size screw does an M5 anchor use?

An M5 anchor is designed to be used with an M5 screw or bolt.

Can these anchors be used in concrete?

While primarily designed for drywall and wood, they can be used in light-duty concrete or brick with the appropriate wall plug for added support.

How many anchors are in a box?

Each box contains 200 Thunderbolts All-Purpose Anchors.

What is the ZYP coating?

The ZYP coating is a protective finish applied to enhance the anchor's durability and resistance to corrosion.

What tools are needed for installation?

Standard tools such as a drill and screwdriver or wrench/socket set are typically required for installation.

Are these anchors suitable for heavy-duty applications?

These are general-purpose anchors and are best suited for moderate load-bearing applications. For heavy-duty requirements, specialized anchors should be considered.

Troubleshooting

Anchor does not grip firmly

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size for an M5 anchor and the material is solid. If using in brittle material, consider using a wall plug. Check that the screw is compatible and properly tightened.

Screw is difficult to drive

Verify the pilot hole is clean and free of debris. Ensure the screw is correctly aligned with the anchor and not cross-threaded.

Anchor appears to be rusting

While the ZYP coating offers protection, extreme or prolonged exposure to harsh corrosive environments may affect it. Store anchors properly when not in use.
