FAQs

Can these be used in hollow bricks?

No, these anchors are designed for solid substrates like concrete and dense masonry to provide proper expansion and grip.

Do I need a special tool to install these?

No, a standard socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate socket size is sufficient.

Are these anchors reusable?

No, these are intended for permanent installation and should not be reused once set.

What is the length of these anchors?

The M16 x 150 model has a total length of 150mm.

Can they be used outdoors?

Yes, they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, provided they are installed in appropriate weather-resistant substrates.

Troubleshooting

Anchor spins without tightening

The drill hole is likely too large or the masonry is too soft. Check your drill bit size or move to a more solid section of the wall.

Difficulty driving the anchor in

Ensure the hole is fully cleared of drilling dust and is drilled to the correct depth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High load-bearing capacity
  • Easy installation with standard hand tools
  • Certified to European safety standards
  • Versatile for diverse masonry materials

Cons

  • Requires precise drill bit sizing for optimal grip
  • Large diameter (M16) is overkill for lightweight applications
  • Cannot be easily removed once fully tightened

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Drilling: Use a masonry drill bit that matches the required diameter for M16 anchors.
  2. Cleaning: Thoroughly clear the drilled hole of dust and debris using a blower or wire brush to ensure the threads can grip the substrate firmly.
  3. Installation: Insert the anchor and use a socket wrench to drive it home until the head is flush against the fixture.
  4. Care: While these anchors are built for toughness, inspect periodically for signs of oxidation if used in harsh coastal or chemically exposed environments. Always ensure the mounting material is structural-grade concrete or solid brick; avoid hollow blocks or loose, crumbling mortar.
