Value Collection SMBS031CP-050BX Expansion Shield Anchor

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMBS031CP-050BX is an alloy steel expansion shield anchor designed for secure fastening into masonry and concrete substrates. With a 5/16-inch diameter and a minimum embedment depth of 1-5/8 inches, this anchor expands against the base material as the bolt is tightened, creating a firm mechanical hold. It accepts a 5/16-18 threaded fastener and is suited for structural and mechanical attachment tasks in concrete, block, or brick. This box contains 50 anchors, making it a practical choice for contractors and tradespeople who install anchors in volume.

Expansion shield anchors like the SMBS031CP-050BX are commonly used in commercial and residential construction where threaded attachment points must be set into existing concrete or masonry. Typical applications include securing equipment supports, pipe hangers, junction box brackets, electrical conduit straps, and mechanical hardware to poured concrete floors, walls, and block foundations. The 5/16-18 thread size is widely compatible with standard hex bolts and machine screws used across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installation work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use expansion anchor compatible with standard 5/16-18 threaded bolts and screws used in masonry and concrete fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed contractors, HVAC technicians, electricians, or plumbers during rough-in or equipment-mounting phases. Drill the base material to the correct hole diameter and depth before setting the anchor, and clear debris from the hole before insertion. Follow applicable building codes and the fastener manufacturer guidance for minimum edge distance and spacing requirements. Do not overtighten the setting bolt, as this can cause the anchor to spin or crack the surrounding masonry.
