What size anchor do I need/ How heavy is the material/ part to be fastened?
Small/ Light Recommendations: M6 diameter fasteners.
Medium Size/ Weight Recommendations: M8, M10 diameter fasteners.
Heavy/ Large Items, Recommendations: M12, M16, M20 diameter fasteners.
What material should the anchor be/ What types of fasteners work best in each environmental condition?
Indoors: dry applications = zinc plated
Outdoors: Intermittent Wet = Zinc, effective for 5-10 years (rusts/ corrodes). 303/304, 410 stainless steel and hot-dipped galvanized masonry fasteners resist natural, external environments indefinitely.
Submerged Water: A2 or 303/304 stainless steel (same thing) should be used in applications where the concrete fastener will be submerged in water, and will provide the highest rust resistance.
Marine/ Submerged Chemicals: A4 or 316 stainless steel (same thing) anchors offer the best protection against corrosion when being used around chemicals, such as salt water or chlorine around a pool.
