Value Collection NFC4030 Expansion Shield Anchor 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NFC4030 is a zinc expansion shield anchor designed for secure mechanical fastening into concrete, masonry, or block substrates. With a 1/2-inch diameter and a minimum embedment depth of 2-1/4 inches, this anchor accepts a 1/2-13 threaded bolt or rod, making it suitable for a wide range of structural and utility attachment tasks. The zinc construction provides basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid indoor environments. Installation is straightforward and requires a hammer drill and appropriately sized carbide-tipped masonry bit. This type of anchor is commonly installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors when securing equipment, conduit hangers, pipe supports, or similar hardware to concrete or masonry surfaces.

The NFC4030 expansion shield anchor is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded anchor point is needed in poured concrete, concrete block, or brick. Typical use cases include securing pipe hangers, equipment mounting brackets, electrical panel supports, and HVAC equipment bases. The 1/2-13 thread size accommodates standard machine bolts and all-thread rod commonly used in mechanical and electrical trade work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use expansion shield anchor for applications requiring a 1/2-inch diameter, 1/2-13 threaded anchor point in concrete or masonry substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drilling a clean hole to the specified diameter and depth using a carbide-tipped masonry bit and hammer drill. The hole should be cleared of dust and debris before driving the anchor to ensure proper expansion. Turn off or de-energize any nearby electrical systems before drilling into walls or slabs where concealed utilities may be present. Refer to applicable building codes and the fastener manufacturer load tables for structural applications.
