Fixaball M8 Throughbolt Anchor Heavy Duty Masonry Concrete ZYP

For secure fixing into non-cracked concrete, masonry and non-porous stone, this Fixaball M8 throughbolt anchor is supplied in a zinc finish and offered in a choice of lengths. It suits applications where the fixing is passed through the fixture once positioned, with the hole matching the anchor diameter.

The expansion anchor is suitable for reduced embedment where contact with rebars or reinforcement cages needs to be avoided. A cold formed body provides consistent dimensional accuracy and material stability.

Safety information

• Check the concrete strength before installation to ensure the class or standard is suitable.
• The concrete base must be compact with insignificant porosity.
• 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.
• If drilling is aborted after encountering reinforcement, drill a new hole at a minimum distance of at least twice the aborted drill hole diameter, unless the aborted hole is filled with high-resistant mortar.
• 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.
• Insert the anchor through the material to be fixed into the hole up to the embedment depth according to the table values.
• Do not apply any intermediate layer between the material to be fixed and the washer, including sealing products.
• Apply the specified torque with a torque wrench.
• If the holes on the material to be fixed have a bigger diameter than required, a thicker washer of bigger diameter is necessary, though this does not ensure correct distribution of shear loads amongst all anchors in the same group.
