Frequently Asked Questions:

• What's the advantage of the Zinc Yellow passivation process?
  This electroplating process combines the corrosion resistance of traditional galvanised finishes with an aesthetically pleasing yellow coating, offering excellent protection for your anchors.
• Can I remove and reuse these anchors?
  While the bolt can be removed for fixture adjustment, we recommend using new anchors for critical applications to ensure maximum holding strength.
• What materials can I fix these anchors into?
  You can use these anchors in concrete, brick, blockwork, and stone. Always ensure the base material is solid and in good condition.
• Do I need special tools for installation?
  You'll need a hammer drill with a 16mm masonry bit and the appropriate spanner or socket for the 18mm hex head.
• What's the maximum weight these anchors can support?
  The load capacity depends on various factors, including base material strength and installation quality. Always follow local building codes and consult structural guidelines for your specific application.
• Why is the sleeve diameter smaller than the thread size?
  This design feature reduces stress on the base material while maintaining maximum holding power, resulting in better long-term performance and easier installation.
• Can they be used for close to edge applications?
  No for close to edge use you must use a chemical anchor fixing as this method does not put pressure on the surrounding area it becomes one.
