Value Collection SMBS038CP-050BX Expansion Shield Anchor

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMBS038CP-050BX is an alloy steel expansion shield anchor designed for secure fastening into masonry, concrete, and similar base materials. At 3/8 inch in diameter with a 3/8-16 thread size and a minimum embedment depth of 1-5/8 inches, this anchor provides reliable holding strength in structural and mechanical installations. The 5/8 inch drill size requirement makes it compatible with standard masonry drill bits. This product is sold in multiples of 50 units, making it well suited for contractors and trades professionals completing installations that require consistent, repeatable fastener performance across multiple points.

Expansion shield anchors of this type are commonly used in commercial and residential construction, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support bracket installation, conduit hangers, and electrical panel or equipment anchorage to concrete or masonry surfaces. The 3/8-16 thread accepts standard hex bolts and machine screws, allowing integration with common hardware used across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. This anchor is appropriate for overhead and vertical surface applications where a flush or near-flush installation is required after embedment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed contractors, electricians, plumbers, or HVAC mechanics as part of equipment mounting or structural support work. Drill the pilot hole to 5/8 inch diameter and clean debris from the hole before setting the anchor. Follow applicable building codes, including IBC and local amendments, for minimum edge distance and spacing requirements. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off fluid systems before anchoring support hardware in proximity to live circuits or pressurized lines.
