Anchor Self-Tapping Screw

An anchor self-tapping screw (also called an anchor screw) is a type of fastener for installation in hard base materials: concrete, stone, brick.

The main advantage of an anchor self-tapping screw is that installing it does not require driving a wall plug into the hole. Such fasteners are used for installing windows, doors, stairs and similar structures.

An anchor self-tapping screw is a metal rod, typically 6–12 mm in diameter, with thread along its full length. The tip can be pointed or blunt. The head is round (button), countersunk or hexagon.

How to use

To install an anchor self-tapping screw, a hole slightly smaller in diameter than the fastener is drilled. The anchor is then screwed into the wall using a screwdriver or impact wrench. Because the thread cuts into the walls of the hole, the connection is secure.

Anchor self-tapping screws of various kinds and sizes can be bought from FLOK.
