Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMBS050CP-025BX is an alloy steel expansion shield anchor designed for secure fastening into concrete, masonry, and similar base materials. With a 1/2-inch diameter and a minimum embedment depth of 2-1/2 inches, this anchor provides reliable holding strength in structural and mechanical attachment applications. The 1/2-13 thread size accepts standard bolts and threaded rod, making it compatible with common hardware used across construction and mechanical trades. This anchor is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 units and is suited for contractors and tradespeople who need consistent, high-volume fastening solutions on job sites.

Expansion shield anchors of this type are commonly used in residential and commercial construction to secure equipment, pipe hangers, conduit supports, ductwork brackets, and structural connections to concrete or block substrates. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians rely on this style of anchor when attaching mechanical system supports to poured concrete slabs, walls, or ceilings. The 7/8-inch drill size required for installation is standard and compatible with common rotary hammer bits available in most trade tool sets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable building codes and anchor manufacturer guidelines. Before installation, drill a clean 7/8-inch hole to the required depth using a rotary hammer and carbide-tipped bit, then clear the hole of dust and debris. Ensure the base material is structurally sound and free of cracks or voids near the anchor location. Do not over-torque the setting bolt, as this can damage the anchor or fracture the surrounding substrate.
