FAQs
What materials can this anchor be used in?
The TIMco Shield Anchor Projecting M10/30P is designed for use in solid concrete, solid brick, and solid stone applications.
What is the M10 designation?
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.
How does the 'projecting stud' feature help?
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.
What is the purpose of the three-segmented expansion?
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.
Can this anchor be used outdoors?
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.
What tools are needed for installation?
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.
How do I know when the anchor is tightened properly?
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.
What is the shield length and stud length?
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.
Troubleshooting
Anchor does not feel secure after tightening.
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.
Difficulty inserting the anchor into the hole.
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.
Fixture cannot be positioned accurately before tightening.
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.
Corrosion observed on the anchor.
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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Drill a hole in the concrete, brick, or stone substrate using a masonry drill bit of the appropriate diameter (consult product specifications for exact size).
Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris.
Insert the TIMco Shield Anchor into the pre-drilled hole.
Position the fixture over the projecting stud.
Tighten the fixture onto the anchor using a nut or appropriate threaded component. Apply torque until the anchor is securely set, as indicated by resistance.
Compatibility:
Suitable for use in solid concrete, solid brick, and solid stone.
Compatible with standard M10 metric threaded components (nuts, bolts, rods, etc.).
Not recommended for hollow materials such as hollow block, plasterboard, or timber.
Care:
Store in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion.
Inspect anchors periodically for signs of wear or damage, especially in corrosive environments.
Clean any visible dirt or debris from the anchor and surrounding area using a dry cloth.
