Bolt Projection Shield Anchors
Bolt Projecting Shield Anchors
These bolt projection shield anchors are the original type of anchor bolts. They have impressive strength capabilities and have the advantage that they are a stud projecting anchor which can help when fitting items to a vertical wall as it allows the fixture to be loosely offered over the projecting studs.
Compatible with most types of metric threaded components. A three segmented expansion anchor used in concrete, brick or stone. Bolt sizes above M12 are not recommended for use in brickwork or blockwork. These are supplied in a zinc plated and passivated finish as standard.
Please note the sizing of shield anchors can be a bit confusing! The sizing is the metric thread size i.e a M10 - 15mm M1015BP is a M10 bolt size with a 10mm fixture thickness capacity – e.g a 10mm thick steel bracket. The overall length of the bolt is not how they are measured but includes the shield length, the fixing thickness, bolt head thickness plus a bit more to allow for installing/tightening.
Shield anchors are commonly known as ‘Rawl bolts’, ‘Rawbolts’, or ‘Rawlbolts’.
