Value Collection R50000104 Expansion Shield Anchor 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000104 is a zinc expansion shield anchor designed for secure fastening into concrete, masonry, and similar base materials. With a 5/16-inch diameter and a minimum embedment depth of 1-1/2 inches, this anchor provides a reliable mechanical hold for threaded fastener applications. The 5/16-18 thread size is a common unified coarse standard, making it compatible with widely available bolts and hardware. Zinc construction offers moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected applications. Tradespeople and contractors use this type of anchor when attaching equipment, conduit supports, brackets, or fixtures to hard base materials.

This expansion shield anchor is suited for light- to medium-duty applications in residential and commercial construction settings. Typical uses include securing electrical conduit straps, mechanical equipment mounts, plumbing hangers, and similar hardware to concrete or block walls. The 5/16-inch diameter and 1-1/2-inch minimum embedment make it appropriate for applications where the base material thickness and load requirements align with these specifications. Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople including electricians, plumbers, and general contractors as part of standard fastening work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician, plumber, or contractor using a hammer drill and a correctly sized carbide-tipped masonry bit. Always power down or de-energize any nearby equipment before drilling into walls or structural surfaces. Drill to the required embedment depth, clear the hole of debris, and set the anchor before threading the fastener. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer torque guidance for the paired fastener.
