Hilti anchors to brick
The lag shield is very versatile because it can be used in very dense base material or in the base material where the holding values are suspect. Lag Shield Anchors – These anchors are available in two different lengths of a short or long version and six diameters. They are available in eight diameters and can be used in brick, block or concrete. Machine Screw Anchors – Often called AJ’s or lead anchors, they require a setting tool that has national coarse threads. These types of brick anchors require that the anchor is placed so that setting tool can set the anchor into the brick properly. Some female brick anchors require a setting tool to be used to set the brick anchor into the base material. If a bolt is used with national coarse threads, then any of the female brick anchors with internal national coarse threads can be used. If a lag screw is used, then you would use the lag shield brick anchor. Many times, the bolt chosen will determine the female anchor that will be used. Each female anchor requires a bolt and washers to be purchased separately. The best one to use depends on preference and the specific application. Several different types of female brick anchors are available. Materials – Depending on the environment, concrete screws come in carbon steel, galvanized, 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, or 410 stainless steel. All the hex washer slotted masonry brick screws lengths are measured from under the head and the flat countersunk Phillips is measured as an overall length. Head Styles – Two head styles are available with the standard masonry brick screw: the hex washer slotted, and the flat countersunk Phillips. The minimum length of masonry brick screw is determined by adding the minimum embedment depth of 1 ” to the thickness of the material being fastened. Masonry Brick Screw Sizes – The standard masonry brick screw comes in two diameters of 3/16", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" with lengths ranging from 1-1/4" to 6-1/4". This will tap threads into the brick and hold the screw securely. Insert the masonry screw anchor into the hole in the brick and turned clockwise. Drill a pilot hole with a hammer drill with the carbide bit.
HILTI ANCHORS TO BRICK INSTALL
Install the masonry screw in brick by selecting a carbide bit with the correct diameter for that screw. The heavy-duty masonry screw has the versatility for use in brick, mortar joints, CMU, block or solid concrete. Self-tapping brick anchors, concrete block or concrete screws are used for fastening items to brick. Self-Tapping Brick Masonry Anchors (Tapcon®/Concrete Screws) Selecting the correct material depends on the environment where the anchors are installed. Materials – Sleeve Anchors come in carbon steel and 304 stainless steel. The flat-head sleeve anchor is measured as an overall length. Sleeve Anchor Lengths – The length of the sleeve anchor is measured from under the head for the acorn, hex head and round sleeve anchors. Select the head style based on the application where the sleeve anchor will be used. The acorn head is hex with a finished acorn head the hex head is the standard hex nut the round head is slotted for use with a straight screwdriver the flat head is a countersunk Phillips or slotted drive. To get the minimum sleeve anchor length, add the item's material thickness to the minimum embedment of the sleeve anchor.Īvailable head styles – Sleeve anchors are available with several head styles: acorn head, hex head, round head and flat head. This gives the sleeve anchor a shear strength of a 5/16" anchor and not of a true 3/8" diameter fastener.Īvailable diameters – The sleeve anchor comes in six diameters and in several lengths for use in a variety of applications. For example, a 3/8" sleeve anchor has a 5/16" stud. The sleeve anchor’s designated size is equal to the outside diameter, and the stud is smaller. There are many applications for sleeve anchors one drawback is the lower shear strength than a similar female anchor. The mortar quality and quantity are most important to determine the sleeve anchor's ultimate holding value. A sleeve anchor also works well in solid mortar joints. This gives the sleeve anchors the ability to expand properly in the hollow or solid sections of brick. By design the sleeve anchor expands over a greater surface area than other types of expansion anchor.
It provides the most consistent holding values. Sleeve anchor is the most common male expansion type anchor for brick walls. Male Expansion Brick Anchors (Sleeve Anchors) Inserting brick anchors requires the use of a hammer drill and a masonry bit. Most brick anchors can also be used in concrete walls as well. The hollow space requires a brick anchor in order to obtain the needed holding values in the hollow areas. Brick anchors are used in place of concrete fasteners because brick contains hollow spaces, unlike concrete that is solid.
Brick anchor fasteners attach an item to bricks or mortar joints in a brick wall.
