Back to Concrete Nylon Nail-It Anchor
Technical Information:
This
Nylon Nail-It is 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
a major portion of its length from the bottom up 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.

Installation:
(1) Drill hole in base material using a carbide tipped bit
matching the diameter of the Nylon Nail-it being used. Make
sure hole is 1/4" deeper than expected embedment. (2)
Clean out the hole of all dust and cuttings. (3) Push Nylon
Nail-It through the material to be fastened and base material
until head of anchor body is snug up to the fixture. (4) Drive
the expander pin home to complete the fastening. To remove
the fastener, simply insert a screwdriver into the slot in
the head of the expander pin an unscrew.

Anchor Length:
Thickness of material to be fastened plus minimum
embedment equals anchor length.

Anchor Spacing:
The forces on a Nylon Nail-It are transferred
to the material that it is installed in. If the anchors are
installed too close together, it can cause an interaction
of the forces, thus reducing the holding power of the anchor.
When anchoring into low-density materials, the holding power
will no be greater than that of the material. As a rule of
thumb, anchors should be spaced 18 to 24 inches from center
to center to get maximum holding power in low-density materials.
Depending on the type of high density material, spacing may
be closer. When vibration or sudden impact are part of the
load condition, the spacing should be increased.

Values shown are average ultimate values and are offered only
as a guide and are not guaranteed A safety factor of 4:1 or
25% is generally accepted as a safe working load. Reference
should be made to applicable codes for the specific working
ratio. Minimum embedment for satisfactory anchor performance
is 4-1/2 bolt diameters. Deeper embedments will yield higher
tension and shear capacity.
