NYLON ANCHORSTM


OVERVIEW

The NYLON AnchorTM range of masonry anchors can be best described as light duty fasteners. They come in many different shapes and sizes and are used extensively by the finishing trades, i.e. ELECTRICIANS, CARPENTERS, JOINERS, CEILING CONTRACTORS, PLUMBERS, AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ENGINEERS, SIGN WRITERS. In fact, there is not a trade in the construction industry that would not have a need at some stage to use NYLON ANCHORSTM.

They are also ideally suited to the DIY market and are sold extensively throughout the Retail Hardware Outlets.

The nylon sleeve is formed under high pressure by injection moulding, giving a tough resilient finish. Annular rings formed on the outside of the sleeve give a positive grip against the sides of the hole once expanded. The NYLON AnchorTM comes in varying head profiles to suit the desired application.

One must always remember that the NYLON AnchorTM is a light duty anchor, be careful not to over-specify its use for heavier duty applications.

USES

  • The NYLON AnchorTM does not pull up tight behind the material being fastened through, it merely opens the legs of the anchor causing a jamming effect.

  • A hand hammer is used to drive the expansion nail home, in the case of plaster sheet this could cause fracturing of the surrounding material if one is too heavy handed.

  • The profile of the NYLON AnchorTM head will not allow the article being installed to sit neatly against the surface, it will always stand off (stand proud) of the surface.

  • When fastening light sockets (batten holders) to a plaster sheet ceiling the anchor is only as strong as the surrounding surface. Batten holders are subject to twisting action and are often used to support heavy decorative light shades. The anchors will loosen off or pull out in plaster.


INSTALLATION

  1. Drill a hole the same size as the Nylon AnchorTM body. Insert the Anchor through the material being fastened and push to its full depth in the hole.

  2. Insert the screw nail and tap with a hammer to expand the Anchor for secure fixing.
