Masonmate Loose Bolt Shield Anchor M6 x 25mm, Box of 50

The Masonmate loose bolt shield anchor is a medium-duty masonry fixing designed to provide secure fastening in brick, concrete, and other solid masonry materials. It functions by expanding within a pre-drilled hole when the bolt is tightened, creating a firm mechanical lock that resists pull-out forces. This makes it suitable for applications where reliable, permanent fixing is required, such as attaching brackets, railings, or structural elements to walls and floors. These anchors feature a zinc-plated steel construction, which offers increased durability and corrosion resistance compared to uncoated alternatives. The design includes a hexagon head for easy installation using standard tools. Key specifications include an M6 thread diameter, a 25mm fastening depth, and a requirement for a 12mm diameter hole to be drilled to a minimum depth of 50mm. Each box contains 50 complete anchor assemblies, providing a practical quantity for small to medium projects. This product is best suited for DIY enthusiasts, tradespeople, and builders undertaking light to medium structural fixing work. It is ideal for domestic projects like securing shelving units, TV brackets, or garden structures, as well as for commercial maintenance tasks. The loose bolt design allows for the bolt to be removed and reinserted if necessary, adding to its versatility. When installed correctly in suitable masonry, it provides a strong, reliable fixing point that can handle significant static loads.
