CONFAST Nylon Nail-It Anchor Now Available

Nylon Nail-It Anchors can be installed into concrete, brick or block base material. The nail creates the expansion of the nylon nail-it anchor into concrete, brick or block.

These anchors are pre-assembled and ready to use, ensuring quick and accurate installation. This is a light duty fastener that is tamper and corrosion resistant.

Before installing Nylon Nail-it Anchors, certain technical specifications should be considered to ensure a safe and proper installation. These anchors are available in 3/16” and 1/4” diameters. Three head styles are offered - round, flat and mushroom - allowing the nylon-nail to meet a variety of fastening needs. The hole diameter is equal to the anchor diameter and only a hammer is required for installation.

Lengths:

To determine the required Anchor length, simply add the thickness of the material to be fastened to the minimum embedment.

Spacing:

The forces on these anchors are transferred to the base material in which it is installed. If the anchors are installed to close together, it can cause an interaction of the forces, thus reducing the holding power of the anchor.

As a rule of thumb, the expansion anchor 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 impacts are part of the load conditions, the spacing between anchors should be increased.

Nail-It Installation Tips & Tricks

1. Using a hammer drill and a properly sized carbide tipped drill bit, drill a hole in the base material 1/4” deeper than the expected embedment.

2. Clean out the hole of all debris.

3. Insert the anchor through the hole in the fixture and into the hole in the base material.

4. Using a hammer, hit the nail into the anchor until the head of the nail is flush with the top of the anchor.
