Product Information

Full details

The Timco Shield Anchor Projecting Bolt is an ideal solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking for reliable, heavy-duty fastening in masonry and concrete environments. Its primary benefit lies in the projecting stud design, which facilitates easy alignment and accurate fixture placement before tightening, ensuring a high-performance, stable hold. However, users should note that this anchor is specifically engineered for masonry substrates and may not be suitable for softer materials like hollow brick or lightweight block without additional considerations.

FAQs

What substrate is the Timco Shield Anchor designed for?

It is specifically designed for solid masonry, hard stone, and high-density concrete.

Can I reuse the anchor after it has been tightened?

No, these are intended for permanent installation. Removing the anchor will compromise the structural integrity of the surrounding masonry.

What does the M8 designation mean?

M8 refers to the metric diameter of the bolt stud, which is 8mm.

Is the gold finish intended for outdoor use?

It provides basic corrosion resistance, but for coastal or highly exposed outdoor areas, stainless steel alternatives are recommended.

How close to the edge of a wall can I place this?

To prevent breakout, maintain a distance of at least 10 times the anchor diameter from any free edge.

Troubleshooting

Bolt spins in the hole without tightening

The hole is likely too large or the masonry is too soft. Ensure the drill bit size matches the anchor specification.

Unable to insert the bolt into the hole

The hole may be too shallow or obstructed by drill dust. Clean the hole thoroughly and verify the drilling depth.

Nut does not stay tight

Use a spring washer or thread-locking fluid if the assembly is subject to high levels of vibration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Projecting design simplifies fixture alignment
  • Excellent grip in solid concrete and masonry
  • High pull-out resistance for heavy-duty loads
  • Simple, traditional installation process
  • Durable gold-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance

Cons

  • Not suitable for use in hollow or lightweight blocks
  • Requires precise drill hole depth for optimal expansion
  • Permanent installation can be difficult to remove
  • Must be used with a torque wrench for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Drilling: Use a masonry drill bit of the exact diameter specified for the M8 bolt. Ensure the hole is cleared of all dust and debris using a brush or compressed air.
  2. Insertion: Tap the anchor into the hole until the shield is flush with or slightly below the surface of the substrate.
  3. Tightening: Place your fixture over the projecting stud and secure it by tightening the nut with a calibrated torque wrench to ensure even distribution of stress.
  4. Compatibility: Only use these bolts in solid masonry, stone, or high-density concrete. Avoid installation near the edge of concrete slabs to prevent cracking (maintain at least 10x the bolt diameter from the edge).
  5. Care: While the gold finish offers protection, avoid using these in high-salinity or chemically aggressive environments to prevent long-term material degradation.
