Pin Type Anchor Fastener

Pin Type Anchor Fastener – Product Details

JMIKS Fasteners supplies pin type anchor fasteners for fixing to concrete, in mild steel and stainless steel. A pin type anchor is a hammer-driven expansion anchor: it is quick to install and suits light to medium loads.

How It Works

Hammer-driven pin type anchor for push-through installation.
The anchor shell is driven into the drilled hole without the expansion pin.
The expansion pin is then hammered into the shell, which expands the shell against the concrete.
Suitable for concrete grade C12/15 and above.

Mild steel for dry indoor areas, stainless steel for damp and outdoor areas
For solid concrete; not suitable for hollow blocks

Applications

False ceilings and suspended ceilings
Cable trays, conduits and pipe clamps
Ducting and HVAC supports
Brackets, railings and light fixtures

Pin Type Anchor FAQs

How do I install a pin type anchor fastener?

Drill a hole of the anchor diameter through the fixture into the concrete and clean out the dust. Tap the anchor in until the head sits on the fixture, then hammer the pin in flush to expand the anchor.

Pin type or wedge type: which anchor should I use?

Pin type anchors are faster to fit and suit light to medium loads. Wedge type anchors are tightened with a nut and suit heavier loads such as machines and structural brackets.

Can pin type anchors be removed?

No. Once the pin is driven, the anchor is permanent. If the fixture must come off later, use an internally threaded bullet anchor or a bolt-type rawl bolt.
