FAQs
What type of materials can this shield anchor be used in?
This shield anchor is designed for use in solid concrete, solid brick, and solid stone installations.
What is the thread size of the projecting stud?
The projecting stud features an M10 thread diameter.
What is the advantage of the projecting stud design?
The projecting stud allows for precise positioning of the fixture before the anchor is finally secured, improving installation accuracy and ease.
How does the three-segmented expansion work?
As the bolt or nut is tightened, it draws the anchor upwards, causing the three segments of the shield to expand outwards, creating a secure grip against the walls of the drilled hole.
Is this anchor suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the Grade 5.8 steel construction with zinc and yellow passivation provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for many outdoor applications, provided the environment is not excessively corrosive.
What is the recommended torque for fastening?
While specific torque values depend on the base material and load, the anchor is designed for torque-controlled fastening to ensure optimal hold without over-stressing the material or the anchor.
How many anchors are included in a bag?
Each bag contains 16 units of the TIMco Shield Anchor Projecting.
Troubleshooting
Anchor does not expand properly
Ensure the hole diameter and depth are correct. Thoroughly clean the hole of all dust and debris before insertion. Verify that the correct M10 bolt or nut is being used and that it is being tightened adequately.
Fixture is not securely fastened
Check that the base material (concrete, brick, stone) is sound and not crumbling. Re-drill the hole if it is too large. Ensure the anchor has expanded fully by checking the tightening torque.
Anchor spins when tightening the bolt
The hole may be too large or the base material is too soft. Remove the anchor and attempt to use a slightly larger diameter anchor if compatible, or fill the hole and re-drill.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Allows for precise fixture alignment before final tightening.
Offers a secure and stable hold due to the three-segmented expansion.
Durable construction with corrosion-resistant finish.
Suitable for a variety of common building materials.
Cons
Requires proper hole drilling and cleaning for effective expansion.
Over-tightening can damage the anchor or the base material.
Not suitable for dynamic or high-vibration load applications without specific engineering assessment.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Drill a hole in the concrete, brick, or stone substrate to the diameter and depth specified for an M10 anchor of this size.
Clean the drilled hole thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.
Insert the shield anchor into the prepared hole.
Position the fixture over the projecting stud.
Tighten the fixture using an appropriate M10 nut or bolt. The anchor expands as the bolt is tightened.
Compatibility:
Compatible with concrete, solid brick, and solid stone.
Suitable for use with M10 threaded rods, bolts, and machine screws.
Ideal for medium-duty load applications.
Care:
Store in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion, especially in humid conditions.
Inspect anchors before use for any signs of damage or defect.
Ensure tools used for installation are in good working order.
