Expander Golden Anchor M16x272mm Hot-Dip Galvanized C3 10pcs Essve

Description

The Essve Expander Golden Anchor M16 (hot-dip galvanized C3) is an extremely powerful wedge anchor designed for heavy and demanding fastenings in concrete and natural stone outdoors. With a total length of 272 mm and a maximum fixture thickness of 133 mm, this anchor is the perfect choice for the secure installation of wooden and steel studs, facade framing, ironwork structures, and heavier fittings where high load requirements are demanded. Thanks to its hot-dip galvanized surface treatment (corrosivity category C3) and a stainless steel expansion clip, Golden Anchor offers excellent protection against the elements in outdoor environments.

Why Essve Golden Anchor is the Professional's Obvious Choice

• Maximum Safety: CE-marked and ETA-approved (ETA-12/0257) for installation at the deepest setting depth.
• Environmental Assessment: Approved by Byggvarubedömningen (Swedish Building Product Assessment) with the rating "Totally Accepted" – ideal for projects with strict environmental and material requirements.
• Smart Design: Equipped with a practical drive head that protects the threads when the anchor is hammered into the borehole.
• Time-Saving Installation: Requires no advanced blow-cleaning of the borehole – a rough cleaning with the drill bit before hammering it in is sufficient.

Installation Instructions – Step by Step

Installing the Golden Anchor is simple, but requires precision with the tightening torque to achieve full load-bearing capacity:

• Position and Drill: Place the fixture in its intended position. Drill directly through the fixture into the concrete using a 16 mm drill bit to a drilling depth of at least 130 mm.
• Clean the Hole: No advanced blow-cleaning is required. Move the drill bit back and forth in the hole a couple of times to roughly clean out the drilling dust.
• Drive in the Anchor: Drive the anchor bolt in with a hammer to the correct installation depth (117 mm). The drive head protects the threads from being damaged.
• Torque the Nut: Use a 24 mm socket and a torque wrench. Tighten the flange nut to exactly 120 Nm. As the nut is tightened, the bolt is forced outward, causing the stainless steel clip to expand forcefully against the wall of the hole.
