 Plastic Screw Anchors are used in telephone and CATV drop installations to anchor sheet metal or wood screws into concrete, masonry, cinder block, sheet rock and brick.
Features
• Made of high quality, weather resistant, impact resistant plastic.
• Six effective anti-turning ribs prevent rotation of the anchor during tightening.
• Flat concentric ribs give greater bearing surface for maximum holding strength.
• Large open throat permits easy insertion of sheet metal or wood screws.
• Oversized flange prevents anchor from pushing too far into hole or through sheet rock.
• Engineered to minimize torque required to tighten screw.
• Holding power varies with screw size and surrounding material. Average holding power in masonry is 203 lbs. using a #8 screw and 451 lbs. using a #14 screw.
• Available in convenient kits or in bulk packaging.
• Used as a standard by all major telephone companies and throughout the telecommunications industry.
• R.E.A. accepted.
Plastic-Screw Anchors can be installed easily by tapping the anchor into a drilled hole and torquing the specified size screw until it is fully seated against the item being secured. For best results, the screw must protrude 1/4"through the bottom of the anchor. To determine proper screw length, add the thickness of the item being fastened, plus the length of the anchor, plus 1/4". |
