For heavy-duty anchoring in concrete, masonry and non-porous stone, the Fixaball M16 Through Bolt is a zinc throughbolt suitable for non-cracked substrates. It is used for fixing materials to concrete, brick, blocks and stone, with the fixing passed through the fixture once positioned.
The cold formed body provides consistent dimensional accuracy and material stability. Reduced embedment is suitable where contact with rebars or reinforcement cages needs to be avoided. Available in a range of lengths, this ETA approved anchor is suited to applications requiring a high load-bearing capacity and cost-effective expansion fixing.

Safety information
- Check the concrete strength before installation to ensure its class or standard is suitable.
- The concrete base must be compact and porosity insignificant.
- Minimum installation depth values must always be respected for anchor depth, anchor-to-anchor distances and anchor-to-edge distances.
- Drill to the specified minimum depth and diameter, perpendicular to the base material surface.
- Take special care when drilling near reinforcement areas to avoid damage.
- Clean holes thoroughly to remove dust and debris with a suitably sized brush.
- When temperature is below 0ºC, ensure water does not seep into the hole, as this could cause subsequent cracks in the concrete due to ice pressure.
- Do not apply any intermediate layer between the material to be fixed and the washer, including sealing products.
- If holes in the material to be fixed are larger than required, a thicker washer of bigger diameter is necessary, but this does not ensure correct distribution of shear loads amongst all anchors in the same group.
