Value Collection C50000102 Drop-in Concrete Anchor 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000102 is a drop-in concrete anchor designed for flush-mount fastening applications in solid concrete. The anchor accepts a threaded rod or bolt after installation, creating a secure, load-bearing connection within the base material. Constructed from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this anchor measures 1/4 inch in diameter with a 1 inch overall length and requires a minimum embedment depth of 1 inch. The 1/2 inch thread length accommodates standard fastener engagement. Sold in a pack of 100, this anchor suits high-volume commercial and residential concrete fastening work performed by licensed contractors and trade professionals.

Drop-in concrete anchors are used in poured concrete ceilings, walls, and floors where a flush or recessed fastener is required. Typical applications include hanging threaded rod for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) support systems, HVAC equipment hangers, conduit supports, and unistrut channel mounting. The 1/4 inch size is commonly used for lighter suspended loads and close-clearance anchor patterns. These anchors are compatible with the NFCDT14 setting tool as specified by the manufacturer, ensuring proper expansion and seating during installation.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction provides reliable tensile and shear strength for concrete fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers baseline corrosion resistance in dry and semi-exposed environments
• 1/4 inch diameter with 1 inch overall length suits tight spacing and shallow embedment applications
• 1/2 inch thread length ensures adequate fastener engagement after setting
• Requires only 1 inch minimum embedment depth, suitable for thinner concrete sections
• Pack of 100 supports production-volume installation workflows

Compatibility

Designed for use with the NFCDT14 setting tool. Intended for installation in solid poured concrete applications requiring a 1/4 inch drop-in anchor.

Installation Notes

Drop-in concrete anchors are installed by drilling a hole to the specified diameter and depth, clearing debris, inserting the anchor flush with the surface, and using the correct setting tool to expand the anchor body against the concrete walls. Power down or de-energize any nearby systems before drilling into structural concrete in active mechanical or electrical spaces. Always verify concrete thickness and condition before installation to ensure minimum embedment requirements are met. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer load-rating tables when sizing anchors for suspended MEP systems.
