Product Details and Installation

This product is a female-threaded, deformation-controlled expansion anchor, commonly known as a drop-in anchor. Its design is simple yet highly effective for creating a permanent and reliable threaded socket in a concrete ceiling.

• Mechanism: The anchor consists of a cylindrical expansion sleeve with an internally threaded body and a pre-inserted, solid expander plug at its base.
• Installation Process:
  1. A hole is drilled into the concrete ceiling to the specified diameter and depth.
  2. The anchor is “dropped in” to the hole until it is flush with the concrete surface.
  3. A dedicated setting tool is inserted into the anchor, and a hammer is used to strike the tool. This action drives the internal expander plug downwards, flaring out the base of the anchor sleeve.
  4. This expansion creates a powerful frictional lock against the walls of the hole, securely setting the anchor.
• Final Use: Once set, the anchor provides a permanent, internally threaded point ready to accept a metric bolt or threaded rod for suspending objects. The Yellow Zinc Plating not only protects the carbon steel from rust and corrosion but also offers a visually identifiable finish.

Product Features

• Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: The Yellow Zinc Plating offers superior protection against rust and corrosion compared to standard white/blue zinc, extending the anchor’s service life.
• Flush-Mount Design: When installed, the anchor sits flush with the concrete surface, allowing for a clean and unobtrusive finish.
• Internally Threaded Versatility: The female thread allows for the use of various bolt lengths or threaded rods, making it adaptable to different fixture thicknesses and suspension heights.
• High-Strength Performance: Made from durable, heat-treated carbon steel to ensure high load-bearing capacity for secure overhead suspension.
• Reliable Setting: The use of a setting tool ensures the anchor is expanded correctly and consistently, providing dependable holding power.

Product Applications

The Ceiling Anchor is the industry standard for suspending items from concrete ceilings. Key applications include:

• Suspended Ceilings: Installing grid systems for acoustical and drop ceilings.
• HVAC and Mechanical Systems: Hanging ductwork, air handlers, and ventilation equipment.
• Electrical Systems: Suspending cable trays, conduits, and electrical junction boxes.
• Plumbing and Fire Protection: Securing overhead piping and sprinkler systems.
• Lighting and Fixtures: Mounting heavy industrial or commercial lighting fixtures.
