Value Collection NFC38080 Hammer Drive Concrete Anchor 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NFC38080 is a hammer drive concrete anchor designed for fastening into concrete, masonry, and block without the need for setting tools beyond a standard hammer. The anchor measures 1/2 inch in diameter and 3 inches in overall length, with a minimum embedment depth of 1-1/2 inches. Constructed from steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, it features a hex nut head for positive engagement during installation. This type of anchor is commonly installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors when securing conduit hangers, pipe straps, equipment supports, or other trade fixtures to concrete substrates.

This anchor is well-suited for light- to medium-duty fastening applications in poured concrete, concrete block, and similar masonry materials. Typical use cases include securing junction box supports, conduit clips, pipe hangers, and structural brackets in commercial and residential construction environments. The 1/2 inch diameter and 3 inch length make it appropriate for applications where a compact, reliable anchor point is required in solid base materials.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch diameter body fits standard hammer drive anchor holes
• 3 inch overall length with 1-1/2 inch minimum embedment depth

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drilling a pilot hole of the appropriate diameter and depth into the concrete or masonry substrate, inserting the anchor, and driving it flush with a hammer. Follow applicable building codes and the anchor manufacturer load tables for the specific substrate type before selecting embedment depth. Ensure the base material is free of cracks or spalling at the installation point that could compromise holding strength. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling into concrete or driving anchors.
