Thunderbolt
Thunderbolt™ Anchors: The original and Bestselling General Purpose All-Metal Anchor
The one and only Thunderbolt™ is the original self-tapping anchor with the power to be used on a whole range of construction materials including concrete, brick and stone.
It is a one-piece, non-expansion anchor, meaning that it does not require a wall plug or resin, and therefore makes it ideal for close to edge fixing applications. The threaded anchor and self-tapping action allow for safe anchorage, with the substrate becoming the nut to the bolt.
Installation is quick and easy, making it the ideal general-purpose anchor, even on temporary jobs as it's completely removable. Using standard size drill bits it is a reliable fix for any job.
Truly versatile, Thunderbolt™ is available in a zinc & yellow finish in diameters M5-M16 and lengths 30mm-200mm.
A galvanised finish is also available, giving it the added power to last longer in environments with a corrosive atmosphere, such as coastal, marine and industrial locations.
Also available:
ETA certified and CE marked Thunderbolt™ - for use when there is a legal requirement for safety-critical applications.
Users have peace of mind that ETA certified Thunderbolts™ have undergone independent rigorous testing, and will perform to the level claimed for it. CE marking proves that the Thunderbolt™ has been tested according to European standards, offering traceability and accountability.
HOW IT WORKS
- Simply drill a hole the same size as the Thunderbolt™ into the material. Ensure the hole is a little deeper than the bolt to allow for dust – see technical info.
- Remove any loose dust from the hole.
- Screw in the Thunderbolt™ with a suitable impact driver. Apply a slight downward pressure to start the self-tapping action, as you would with a woodscrew.
- Tighten the Thunderbolt™ to secure the fixture in place.
- JOB DONE!
