Clarification on Anchor Type and Design

It is critical to note that the “roduction to products” and “Instructions for Use” sections on the provided webpage are incorrect, as they describe a Hex Bolt Sleeve Anchor, not the L-Hook Bolt Sleeve Anchor. The following description is based on the actual product name, parameters, and general mechanical principles of an L-Hook sleeve anchor.

• Anchor Type: This is a sleeve anchor, a pre-assembled fastener that includes a threaded bolt (in this case, an L-Hook bolt), an expansion sleeve, a washer, and a nut.
• L-Hook Bolt Head: The defining feature is the bolt head, which is bent at a 90-degree angle to form an “L” shape. This design is specifically intended for applications where items need to be hung or supported at a distance from the anchor’s surface, such as securing timber battens, brackets, or conduit.
• “YZP” (Yellow Zinc Plated): This refers to the anchor’s surface finish. The carbon steel is electro-plated with zinc and then passivated with a yellow chromate conversion coating. This process provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard white zinc plating, making it suitable for indoor environments where humidity or occasional moisture may be a factor.

Product Mechanism and Installation

The anchor achieves its holding power through the expansion of its sleeve within the base material.

• Mechanism: The anchor consists of an L-Hook bolt with a tapered cone at its threaded end, an expansion sleeve, a flat washer, and a hex nut. When the hex nut is tightened, it pulls the bolt’s shaft upwards. This action draws the tapered cone into the expansion sleeve, forcing the sleeve to expand outwards and press firmly against the inner walls of the drilled hole, creating a secure frictional lock.
• Correct Installation Process:
  1. Drill the Hole: Using a carbide-tipped drill bit that matches the anchor’s diameter, drill a hole into the base material (e.g., concrete). The hole depth must be sufficient to accommodate the full length of the anchor sleeve.
  2. Clean the Hole: Thoroughly remove all dust and debris from the drilled hole using a wire brush and compressed air or a hand pump. A clean hole is essential for achieving maximum load capacity.
  3. Insert the Anchor: Insert the complete L-Hook sleeve anchor assembly into the hole until the washer and nut are flush with the surface of the base material.
  4. Orient and Set the Anchor: Before fully tightening, position the L-Hook to the desired orientation (e.g., pointing upwards to support a shelf bracket). Using a wrench, turn the hex nut clockwise. This will expand the sleeve and securely set the anchor. Continue to tighten until the anchor is firm and does not turn in the hole.
