Concrete Nylon Nail-It Anchor

Purchase Concrete Nylon Nail-It Anchors

Technical Information:

This Nylon Nail-It is made from injection-molded, thermoplastic-formula polyamide resins. The nylon anchor consists of two parts - a cylindrical nylon shank or body and a steel pin expander. The shank is split from the bottom up for a major portion of its length and has a series of circumferential ribs running for a portion of its length. The anchor body has a concentric cavity, or bore, which runs through the head thickness and into the shank for a depth just beyond the point where the slit terminates in the body. The steel pin expander is similar to a nail except for the specially designed thread in a section of its shank, and the screwdriver slot in the head. It is made of high carbon steel, properly heat treated and heavily plated with bright zinc, for maximum corrosion resistance. The specially designed threads and head on the expander pin lock the assembly.

Nylon Nail-It Anchor concrete anchor/fastener - Applications:

Light-duty into concrete, brick and block.

Nylon Nail-It Anchor concrete anchor/fastener - Installation:

  1. Drill a hole in the base material using a hammer drill and a carbide tipped masonry bit matching the diameter of the Nylon Nail-it being used. Make sure the hole is 1/4" deeper than expected embedment depth.
  2. Clear the hole of all debris.
  3. Insert the Nylon Nail-It through the hole in the fixture and into the hole in the base material until the head of the anchor body is snug up to the fixture.
  4. Using a hammer, drive the expander pin into the nylon shank to complete the installation. To remove the fastener, simply insert a screwdriver into the slot in the head of the expander pin and unscrew.

Nylon Nail-It Anchor concrete anchor/fastener - Anchor Length:

The length of the nylon nail-it required is equal to the thickness of the material to be fastened plus minimum embedment.

Nylon Nail-It Anchor concrete anchor/fastener - Anchor Spacing:

The forces on a Nylon Nail-It are transferred to the base material in which it is installed. If the anchors are installed too close together, it can cause an interaction of the forces, thus reducing the holding power of the anchors. As a rule of thumb, the expansion industry has established a minimum standard of ten (10) anchor diameters for spacing between anchors and five (5) anchor diameters from an unsupported edge. When vibration or sudden impact are part of the load condition anchor spacing should be increased.
