L H Dottie Co DAS50 Stainless Steel Drop-in Anchor

Product Description

The L H DOTTIE CO DAS50 is a 1/2-13 stainless steel drop-in anchor designed for setting threaded fastener connections in concrete and masonry substrates. Drop-in anchors are internally threaded inserts that accept a matching bolt or threaded rod once the anchor is set flush with the base material using a setting tool. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making this anchor suitable for wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments where carbon steel would degrade. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use drop-in anchors to secure equipment hangers, conduit supports, pipe straps, and structural attachments directly to concrete.

The DAS50 is suited for residential and commercial construction and mechanical trade applications where a clean, flush-mount threaded connection to concrete is required. Typical uses include suspending pipe hangers, securing equipment pads, anchoring strut channel, and attaching threaded rod for overhead support systems. The 1/2-13 thread size is a common UNC thread designation compatible with standard 1/2-inch threaded rod and hardware. This anchor is sold individually, one piece per unit.

Designed as a direct-set drop-in anchor for use with 1/2-13 threaded rod and standard 1/2-inch UNC bolts in concrete and solid masonry. No specific model or system compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Installation requires drilling a properly sized hole in concrete to the manufacturer-specified depth, then inserting and setting the anchor using a compatible drop-in anchor setting tool. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical systems before drilling into concrete in occupied mechanical spaces. Hole diameter and embedment depth must match the anchor specification to achieve rated holding values. Follow applicable building codes and fastener manufacturer guidelines for load-bearing applications.
