TIMco Shield Anchor Projecting - M10 / 30P - Yellow

The TIMco Shield Anchor Projecting M10/30P is designed for use in solid concrete, solid brick, and solid stone applications.

M10 refers to the metric thread diameter of the anchor's stud, which is 10 millimeters. This ensures compatibility with standard M10 nuts and bolts.

The projecting stud allows you to align your fixture (e.g., bracket, frame) onto the stud before you tighten the anchor. This enables precise positioning, ensuring the fixture is level and accurately placed.

The three segments of the anchor expand outwards when the bolt is tightened, creating a strong, secure grip against the walls of the pre-drilled hole in the substrate.

Yes, the zinc and yellow passivated finish provides good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. However, in extremely harsh or coastal environments, its lifespan may be reduced.

You will need a masonry drill bit of the correct size, a drill, and a wrench or socket set to tighten the nut onto the anchor's stud.

The installation is torque-controlled. Tighten the anchor until you feel significant resistance, indicating the anchor has expanded and is securely holding. Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the substrate or the anchor.

The shield length is 60mm and the stud length is 100mm. These dimensions are important for determining the appropriate hole depth and the total thickness of materials that can be fastened.

Ensure the correct drill bit size was used and the hole was drilled to the proper depth. Verify the substrate is solid and not hollow. Check that the anchor is fully seated and has expanded correctly.

The hole may be too small. Re-drill the hole with the specified drill bit size. Ensure the hole is clean and free of obstructions.

Ensure the projecting stud is aligned correctly with the fixture's mounting points before you begin tightening the anchor. The stud provides the positioning point, so alignment is key.

While the anchor has a passivated finish, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can cause some corrosion. For highly corrosive environments, consider specialized anchors. Ensure proper storage when not in use.
