What is an anchor?

Drop-in anchor is part of the family of fasteners, which used to attach various decorative, service or building elements to concrete or masonry surfaces. It consists of a hollow sleeve that has a slot at one end, an expandable skirt at one end, an inner plug of the expander and the other end. For the use of an anchor with a drop, a suitable hole in the concrete surface is first drilled and the anchor is first inserted into the anchor into the end of the opening. The specially designed expansion tool extends the slot to grasp the sides of the hole firmly. A number of fasteners can then be screwed into the anchor to connect the appropriate accessories.

Drop anchor is one of the simplest and simplest available concrete and masonry connecting systems. The only necessary structural intervention is a suitably large hole drilled into bricks or concrete. Drop-in anchors have a relatively high level of structural integrity and can carry considerable loads, especially when Applied to vertical surfaces. INHome applications can be used to attach troughs, pipes, pots, hangers for hangers and window boxes to walls and concrete ceilings. The industrial use of anchor includes attachments for spraying pipes, cable tanks, marking and suspended ceiling grids.

Drop-in anchors consist of a hollow carbon steel tube that has a number of slots that have been cut off longitudinally from one end and formed an expandable skirt. The tube is cut by the length of the thread at the other end to accept the screw. Inside the tube above the slots there is a movable, tapering expanding plug, which is used to enforce the cards between the slots out to lock the anchor in place. The tube can have a lip on the end thread to support the anchor on the edge of the mounting hole. The tubes are generally zinc to discourage corrosion.

Installing anchy drop-in is an apome simple and fast process that only requires an anchor suitable forous masonry, impact capable drill and expansion tool anchor. Once the anchor space is established and marked, the hole is drilled slightly deeper than the length of the anchor. It is important to ensure that the drill bit is the correct diameter because the excess hole threatens the load -bearing capacity of the anchor load. Once the hole is thoroughly cleaned from drilling residues, the anchor simply "falls" into a hole with a thread towards the mouth of the hole. If the anchor adaptation is a little cozy, it can be used in a place using a mallet or hammer.

Once settled, the tool for expanding or setting to drive the expansion plugs to the bottom of the tube is used. This forces the cards on the slot skirt to expand and grasp the walls of the hole. The friction keeps the plug in place and keeps the anchor lock in the hole. A suitable screw is screwed to Into anchor that connects the required accessories. Drop-in anchors are available in various samples, including standard Hex head screws, annular screws, pipes and hooks.
