Value Collection NFC2016 Plastic Concrete Anchor 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NFC2016 is a plastic concrete anchor designed for fastening applications in masonry and concrete substrates. With a 3/8-inch diameter and an overall length of 2.5 inches, this anchor accepts screws ranging from No. 16 to 5/16-inch. Plastic construction makes it suitable for applications where corrosion resistance or electrical isolation is a consideration. Installers drive these anchors into pre-drilled holes in concrete, block, or brick, then thread the compatible screw directly into the anchor body for a secure hold. This style of anchor is a common fastener used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade contractors when securing conduit, brackets, hangers, or straps to concrete surfaces.

This anchor is intended for light- to medium-duty fastening tasks in concrete and masonry. Typical applications include securing electrical conduit straps, pipe hangers, equipment mounting brackets, and similar trade hardware to concrete walls, floors, or ceilings. The plastic body is well suited for interior installations where metal corrosion could be a concern or where a non-conductive anchor is preferred. This anchor is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it practical for stocking in a service van or shop inventory for recurring installation work.

Compatibility

Designed for use with screws ranging from No. 16 to 5/16-inch. Suitable as a standard plastic concrete anchor for light- to medium-duty masonry fastening applications across electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drilling a correctly sized hole in the concrete or masonry substrate, clearing the hole of dust and debris, inserting the anchor flush with the surface, then driving the compatible screw into the anchor body. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling into concrete. Verify that the substrate is sound and free of voids or cracks before anchoring. Follow applicable building codes and fastener manufacturer guidelines for load requirements when securing structural or safety-critical components.
