Sleeve Anchors

Sleeve Anchors are a thin-walled expandable metal sleeve style fixing that works on the principle of expansion. They are suitable for most types of concrete and masonry.

Sleeve anchors are available in either a nut or bolt type format and there is one size which has a countersunk head.

The drill hole size required is the same diameter as the sleeve.

How to install a sleeve anchor

To install a sleeve anchor, do not remove the nut or bolt from the sleeve. Instead pass the entire sleeve through the item being secured and fasten it directly into the hole, first by tapping into position with a hammer and then by tightening the nut or bolt three to four full turns from hand tight. This tightening action draws the cone shaped end of the anchor up into the sleeve, expanding the anchor and gripping the substrate.
