What is a projecting bolt and where are they most commonly applied?

Projecting Bolt, Masonry Shield Anchor is a heavy duty, builder’s masonry, expansion anchor, for fixing heavy materials and fixtures.

It can be used in concrete, brick/ block and non-porous stone.

It comprises of a 3 part shield, threaded bar (high tensile - grade 8.8), nut and washer. It is an expansion anchor that pushes outwards at 3 points as the nut is tightened.

Application

• Projecting bolts are used when material/ fixtures need to be held in place during installation.
• The projecting threaded bar is used as a locator.
• Care must be taken not to damage the thread during installation.
• Shield anchors have an added advantage of being able to function with holes that vary in size/ quality.
• A shield anchor will only ever be as good as the grade of material that it’s being fixed to.

Installation

Drill the correct sized hole, clear/ clean the hole (brush and air pump), place the anchor in the hole, set the fixture/ material in place, fix by tightening the nut.
