Brass Plain Anchors

Product Description

Brass plain anchors (often referred to simply as brass expansion anchors) are internally threaded fasteners with a smooth or lightly textured body rather than heavy knurling. They are designed for clean, precise installations in solid base materials like concrete, natural stone, and dense timber.

While they function similarly to knurled anchors, plain-bodied anchors are often preferred for aesthetic architectural applications or when the anchor needs to be fitted into a very precisely drilled hole with tight tolerances.

Technical Specifications

These are typically manufactured from high-quality Free Cutting Brass (IS 319 / CDA 360).

Key Features

• Flush Installation: The anchor sits flush with the surface, making it ideal for removable fixtures like safety railings or decorative panels.

• Corrosion Resistance: Solid brass construction ensures the anchor won't rust or seize, which is vital for outdoor or marine environments.

• Internal Taper: A conical internal shape ensures that as the bolt is tightened, the anchor body expands uniformly to provide a 360-degree grip.

• Non-Magnetic: Ideal for use around sensitive electronic equipment or MRI rooms where ferrous metals cannot be used.

Common Applications

• Electrical Fixtures: Mounting switchgear, conduit clips, and lighting to masonry walls.

• Sanitary Fittings: Securing bathroom accessories and plumbing brackets.

• Furniture Assembly: Providing a reusable threaded socket in hardwoods or composite materials.

• Architectural Hardware: Fixing handrails, signs, and decorative metalwork where a clean, brass finish is required.
