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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine Application: Identify the material (e.g., drywall, wood, concrete) and the load requirements for your project.
  2. Drill Pilot Hole: Select a drill bit appropriate for the anchor's M5 size and the material. Ensure the hole is clean and to the correct depth.
  3. Insert Anchor: Place the anchor into the prepared hole. It should fit snugly.
  4. Fasten Object: Position the item to be secured over the anchor and drive a screw through it into the anchor.

Compatibility:

  • These M5 anchors are designed to work with M5 screws or bolts.
  • Compatible with various common building materials including drywall, wood, plaster, and potentially light-duty concrete or brick (use with appropriate wall plugs if necessary for brick/concrete).

Care:
