M6, 6mm Diameter Threaded, Hex Head, Loose Bolt with Masonry Shield, Heavy Duty Masonry Anchor Fixing, High Tensile (8,8), Zinc, ZYP.

Fixaball sells all lengths of M6 Loose Hex Bolt, Heavy Duty Masonry Anchors.

Installation of Shield Anchors

When drilling holes you must respect the specified minimum depth and diameters shown in the table below. Holes must be square to the surface of the base material (e.g concrete) for safety during installation and to optimise holding capacity. Use the material/ fixture as a template to dill accurate locations

If drilling through concrete that has rebar reinforcements, special care must be taken to avoid damaging them. If some rebar is encountered, abort the hole, repair with high quality mortar and create a new hole, no less than twice the diameter of the shield anchor, away.

Optimising your fixings holding capacity.

  • Clean the hole using an appropriate sized brush
  • Installation Temp is 0°: make sure water does not seep into the hole. The expansion water to ice could crack the concrete. Under wet conditions, use a specified injection resin.
  • Introduce the anchor through the material to be fixed into the hole up to the embedment depth, according to the values on the table. Use a hammer to ensure the required depth. Do not apply any intermediate layer between the material to be fixed and the washer, such as sealing products.
  • Apply the specified torque with a torque wrench.
  • In the case the holes on the material to be fixed have a bigger diameter than required, it is necessary to insert a thicker washer and of a bigger diameter. But please, note that this procedure does not ensure a correct distribution of shear loads amongst all the anchors of a same group, and this shear load is applied only to the anchors with a correct diameter on the material to be fixed.

NOTE: the 1st dimension refers to the thread diameter and not the hole diameter. Please see the table below for further information on what masonry drill bit to use. The 2nd dimension refers to the maximum fixture thickness (space between the underside of the head and the shield +/- 5mm). The 3rd dimension is the actual length of the hex-bolt/ hex-set that goes into the sheild (in brackets).

My item is shown as delivered but it hasn't been?

What can I do if my item is shown as delivered, but it hasn’t been received?
If you’re the recipient:

Check whether the item was sent using a service that obtains a signature on delivery. If it was, do you recognise the name of the person who accepted the item? The name will be provided by the person who accepted the delivery and not always the person on the address label.
If the item was sent to your home, ask anyone else living there if they accepted the delivery. Please also check if the item has been left with a neighbour, or in your designated Safeplace if you have one.
If the item was sent to your work address, check with the post room and your colleagues to see if someone accepted the delivery.
If you bought the item online, check the shipping address was correct.

UPS - Packages over 2 kgs

We use UPS as our preferred courier. Please make sure all details of the address are included as courier drivers will not fill in the gaps, leading to long delays or even loss

 

Fixaball, International Orders.

Offshore and International Shipping

We use Royal Mail, Airmail, Tracked & Signed for international orders.  However, if the order exceeds the maximum weight (2kg) we will use UPS. Often, discounts can be offered on light weight/ high value goods if you email or call. Also, faster delivery can be arranged on your request.  The dispatch window for all of our offshore sales is 1 working day (most likely same day dispatch if ordered before 2pm).

Our delivery services are reliable; however, occasionally there may be a delay due to various unforeseen circumstances (weather, industrial action, holiday seasons). With this in mind, please consider feedback based on what we can control, which is our quick, dispatch time (same day if ordered before 2pm). Our aim is to do everything we can to support you.
