The AnkaScrew™ Screw-In Anchor is a totally removable, medium duty, rotation setting, thread forming anchor, ideal for either temporary or permanent anchoring into substrates such as concrete, brick, hollow brick or block. The AnkaScrew™ is particularly well suited to close-to- edge or close-to-anchor fixing as it does not expand and burst the surrounding substrate

Features and Benefits
Substrates
Installation
Typical Applications
- New WERCS thread allows fast and easy to install as it simply screws into a pre-drilled hole
- Screw out leaving an empty hole without protruding metal part to grind off
- Does not expand and burst concrete which allows close to edge installation
- Concrete
- Solid brick / block
- Hollow brick / block
- Hollow slab
- Drill hole to correct diameter and Clean thoroughly with brush. Remove debris by way of vacuum or hand pump, compress air etc.
- Using a socket wrench, screw the AnkaScrew™ into the hole using slight pressure until the self tapping action
- Tighten the AnkaScrew™ until the fixture is held If resistance is experienced when tightening, unscrew the anchor one turn and re- tighten. Ensure that you do not over tighten.
- For optimum performance, a torque wrench should be
- Pallet racking
- Temporary safety barriers
- Conveyors
- Pipe brackets
- Gate hinges into brickwork
- Temporary hand rails
- Bottom plates
