    Anchors for Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Anchors. Anchors for Block and Brick.
    Also known as double expansion anchors, these expand from both sides for full contact with your hole’s walls. They’re often used to mount handrails, shelving, and light fixtures. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. You can use these anchors as an alternative to drop-in anchors in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points, but they are not as strong.
    To install, hammer into a drilled hole and position your component. Then, insert a screw or threaded rod and tighten. For maximum expansion, the anchor should protrude slightly above the surface before threading the screw. All create a permanent female-threaded connection that lets you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod. They cannot be used in overhead applications.

    High-Strength Anchors for Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Anchors. High-Strength Anchors for Block and Brick.
    Offering up to twice the strength of double expansion anchors, these US-made anchors expand in four directions for a superior grip in floors, walls, and ceilings. You can even use them to mount heavy machinery with constant motion, such as conveyors and vibrating feeders, because their ridges lock them in place to resist vibration. All of these anchors expand along their full length to distribute the gripping force, so they won’t crack soft materials. You can use them in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points as an alternative to drop-in anchors.
    To install, tap the anchor into a drilled hole. Insert a screw or threaded rod through your machinery and into the anchor. Then, tighten to expand the anchor. All create a permanent female-threaded connection that lets you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod.
