- Corrosion Resistance: Brass construction offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making these anchors suitable for damp or outdoor environments.
- High Strength: Designed to provide strong, secure anchoring in solid materials like concrete or masonry.
- Thermal and Electrical Resistance: Brass is non-magnetic and resistant to temperature extremes, making these anchors suitable for specialized environments.
- Ease of Installation: Simple to install with a pre-drilled hole and standard tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches.
- Vibration Resistance: The expansion mechanism provides a secure hold, reducing the risk of loosening due to vibration.
- Reusability: Brass expansion anchors can often be reused if removed carefully.
- Versatile Sizes: Available in various lengths and diameters to suit different load capacities and materials.
Applications of Expansion Anchors:
- Construction: Securing fixtures like railings, brackets, or heavy equipment to walls, floors, or ceilings.
- Electrical Installations: Anchoring electrical boxes, conduits, or panels to concrete or masonry walls.
- HVAC Systems: Fixing ductwork, vents, or other HVAC components in place.
- Plumbing: Fastening pipes, valves, or fittings securely to walls or floors.
- Signage: Installing signs, banners, or display boards on solid surfaces.
- Furniture Assembly: Securing heavy furniture or shelving units to walls for stability and safety.
- Marine Applications: Ideal for fastening components in marine environments due to their resistance to saltwater corrosion.
Different Types of Expansion Anchors:
- Standard Brass Expansion Anchors:General-purpose anchors with a split design that expands as the screw or bolt is tightened.Suitable for most applications in concrete, brick, or stone.
- Knurled Brass Expansion Anchors:Feature a knurled surface to provide additional grip and prevent rotation in the drilled hole.Used in high-vibration environments or for added stability.
- Threaded Brass Expansion Anchors:Have internal threads for screws or bolts, allowing for easy installation and removal of fixtures.Common in applications where components may need periodic adjustment or replacement.
- Flush-Fitting Anchors:Designed to sit flush with the surface of the material for a neat, clean finish.Often used in aesthetic applications or where protrusion is not desirable.
- Long Brass Expansion Anchors:Designed for deep holes, offering additional grip and holding power for heavy-duty applications.Suitable for thicker materials or installations requiring higher load capacities.
- Flanged Brass Expansion Anchors:Feature a flange at the top to prevent the anchor from slipping into the hole during installation.Useful for lightweight applications or thin materials.
- Slotted Brass Anchors:Contain multiple slots that expand outward when a screw is inserted, providing a strong mechanical grip.Ideal for applications requiring a secure hold in soft or brittle masonry.
