Brass Anchor

A brass anchor is a fastening element designed for installation in solid or hollow construction materials: it can be mounted in concrete, natural stone, brickwork and more.

Structurally, the anchor (collet) is a metal cylinder with a tapered internal thread and an expansion zone formed by four segments. The outer surface of the collet is knurled to prevent rotation in the hole.

Purpose and features

A brass anchor is an expansion fastener, a more reliable alternative to a plastic wall plug. It is installed into a pre-drilled hole of the appropriate diameter, and the collet is driven in with an impact tool. A bolt with metric thread is screwed into it, which wedges and secures the expansion element in the material. The anchor is protected against rotation, resistant to pull-out and dynamic loads, and suitable for fastening various structures.

Brass is used for manufacturing — a non-ferrous alloy that is not subject to corrosion. The product is resistant to high humidity and other adverse environmental factors, suitable for indoor and outdoor installation as well as damp areas. Over time it does not degrade or lose strength, which keeps the connection reliable. The anchor is used together with brass fasteners with metric thread.

Anchor technical specifications

Products made from brass alloy with the following specifications are available:

• Nominal thread diameter — from M4 to M16, the anchor is suitable for installing standard bolts with metric thread.
• Drilling diameter — from 5 to 20 mm. The drill diameter must be selected precisely to reliably install the anchor in the hole and avoid rotation during fastener installation.
• Overall product length — from 20 to 45 mm.

The product is selected by length and diameter to match the material, while allowing extra hole depth for drilling dust. Installing the anchor does not take much time and is suitable for quick installation of various structures.

Application possibilities for the fastener

Brass anchor fasteners are widely used in construction and finishing work. Such products are used as an embedded element in walls and floor slabs before installing lightweight suspended structures. The most common uses are:

• Fastening built-in and suspended furniture elements, including cabinets, kitchen units and more.
• Installing furring of various types for subsequent attachment of finishing materials and plasterboard, including for the purpose of leveling surfaces.
• Installing joists and wooden battens to concrete walls and floor slabs, fastened with metric fasteners.
• Mounting lightweight suspended structures.

Brass anchors are suitable for installation in various types of materials. They are used for mounting in concrete and brickwork, as well as in natural stone and other solid substrates — installation into a pre-drilled hole of the specified diameter ensures reliable fixing. They are also used for mounting in hollow substrates: foam concrete and aerated concrete blocks, hollow brick and more.

The knurling prevents rotation, which makes the connection reliable. Anchors are used together with bolts and studs of the corresponding diameter: when screwed into the tapered thread, they provide wedging.
