306550 Nylon Drive Anchors - Mush Head

306550 Nylon Drive Anchors - Mush Head

Nylon Drive Anchors are a light duty, general purpose anchor for fixing to concrete, brickwork, concrete block etc., A very economical fastener which is quick, easy and simple to instal. Featuring a Low profile Mushroom head for less obstruction they are available in M5 and M6.5 diameters and a range of lengths from 25mm up to 75mm. Made from nylon the drive pin is hardened steel, Zinc Plated (ZP) with screw thread and slotted head for ease of removal.

Step 1:-
Select the correct size IDEAL Fasteners Carbide drill bit for your chosen diameter and length of Nylon Drive Anchor.

Step 2:-
Using a Rotary Hammer tool or a suitable Impact tool, drill a hole into the concrete or masonry substrate to a depth of at least that of your maximum intended embedment depth of the Nylon Drive Anchor PLUS an additional depth of at least 1 to 1.5 times the diameter of the specific Nylon Drive Anchor being used.
Avoid drilling the hole too close to the edge of the masonry as the expansion action of the anchor during installation may cause splitting of the masonry.

Step 3:-
Ensure the hole is clean of all dust and/or contaminants that may obstruct the insertion of the anchor to the required depth. Using a blow pump or vacuum and/or a wire brush is ideal if the dust cannot be sufficiently removed with the drill bit.

Step 4:-
Ensure the material or fixture being attached has a clearance hole wide enough to allow the shank of the anchor to pass through unobstructed.
When attaching fixtures of softwoods or similar density materials to the substrate it may be quicker to use the carbide drill bit to drill a pilot hole in the timber at the same time as drilling the substrate provided the dust can be sufficiently removed from the hole.

Step 5:-
Position the fixture against the substrate with the clearance hole or pilot hole aligned with the drilled hole in the substrate.
Place or drive the Nylon Drive Anchor through the hole in the fixture and into the hole in the substrate.

Step 6:-
Using a hammer strike the head of the drive pin until the pin is seated in the head of the anchor and the connection is tight and secure, ensure the minimum embedment depth into the substrate is achieved.
• Typical applications include fixing of downpipe brackets, signs, cappings, flashings to concrete, brickwork, block and masonry.
