Value Collection NFC38065 Hammer Drive Concrete Anchor

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NFC38065 is a hammer drive concrete anchor designed for fast, tool-light fastening into concrete, masonry, and block. The anchor measures 1/2 inch in diameter with an overall length of 2-1/4 inches and requires a minimum embedment of 1-1/2 inches for a secure hold. It features an acorn nut head style and is manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. Installation requires only a hammer and a properly sized pilot hole, making this anchor a practical choice for trade professionals and general contractors who need a reliable mechanical anchor without specialty tooling.

This anchor is suited for light-to-medium duty fastening applications in poured concrete, concrete block, and similar masonry substrates. Typical uses include securing conduit straps, junction box brackets, equipment bases, and framing members to concrete floors, walls, and ceilings. The hammer drive design allows single-step setting after drilling, which speeds up repetitive anchoring tasks on commercial and residential job sites. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly use this anchor type when securing service equipment and supports to masonry structures.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch diameter body for a firm mechanical grip in concrete and masonry
• 2-1/4 inch overall length with 1-1/2 inch minimum embedment requirement
• Acorn nut head style provides a finished appearance and prevents thread exposure
• Zinc-plated steel construction offers base-level corrosion resistance for dry and semi-protected environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use anchor for standard 1/2 inch hammer drive anchor applications in concrete and masonry substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable building codes and anchor manufacturer guidelines. Drill a pilot hole to the specified diameter and depth before inserting the anchor, then drive with a hammer until fully seated to the minimum embedment depth of 1-1/2 inches. Always verify the concrete substrate is sound and free of cracks or voids at the anchor location. Power down or de-energize any adjacent electrical or mechanical systems before drilling into walls, floors, or ceilings.
