Value Collection NFC4015 Expansion Shield Anchor Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NFC4015 is a zinc expansion shield anchor designed for securing fasteners into concrete, masonry, or block substrates. The anchor accepts a 1/4-20 threaded bolt and requires a minimum embedment depth of 1-1/4 inches to achieve a reliable mechanical hold. The body measures 1 inch in anchor length and 1/4 inch in diameter. Zinc construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior and light-duty applications. Licensed tradespeople and experienced installers working in structural or mechanical attachment applications will find this anchor appropriate for standard load-bearing fastening tasks in solid base materials.

This expansion shield anchor is used in residential and light commercial construction and service work where a threaded fastener must be anchored into concrete, brick, or CMU block. Typical applications include mounting mechanical equipment supports, strut channels, pipe hangers, electrical boxes, and similar trade hardware to masonry surfaces. The 1/4-20 thread size is a common standard size compatible with a wide range of hex bolts and machine screws used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work.

Key Features

• Zinc construction for corrosion resistance in interior and light-duty environments
• 1/4-20 thread size accepts standard hex bolts and machine screws
• 1-1/4 inch minimum embedment depth for secure mechanical expansion hold
• 1 inch anchor length suits shallow-to-mid depth masonry fastening applications
• 1/4 inch diameter fits standard masonry drill bit sizing for straightforward installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use expansion anchor compatible with standard 1/4-20 threaded fasteners installed into concrete, brick, or masonry block substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or electricians during equipment or conduit mounting. Drill the base material to the correct diameter and depth using a hammer drill and carbide-tipped masonry bit before inserting the anchor. Ensure the hole is free of debris before seating the anchor to achieve full embedment. Follow applicable building codes and fastener manufacturer load ratings when determining anchor placement and spacing.
