3/8″ x 6″ Flat Sleeve Anchor Zinc Plated by CONFAST 25 per Box

Description

Product Overview

The CONFAST 3/8″ x 6″ flat sleeve anchor is engineered for demanding fastening applications where strength, durability, and corrosion resistance are essential. Constructed entirely from high‑grade steel, each anchor undergoes a zinc‑plating process that creates a protective barrier against moisture, chemicals, and environmental wear, extending the service life of the fastener in harsh conditions. The design features a pre‑assembled configuration, eliminating the need for separate components such as washers or nuts, which streamlines the installation process and reduces the chance of assembly errors. With a package of 25 anchors per box, the product offers a convenient quantity for both small‑scale projects and larger commercial jobs. The anchor’s dimensions—3/8 inch diameter and 6 inch length—are matched to a corresponding hole size, ensuring a snug fit that maximizes load transfer and minimizes movement under load. Technical specifications include a package weight of 4.06 pounds, a compact box measuring 6.61 x 4.53 x 3.11 inches, and compliance with industry standards for sleeve anchors. The product’s best‑seller rank of #18 in the Sleeve Anchors category reflects its popularity among professionals who trust CONFAST for reliable fastening solutions.

Usage

This flat sleeve anchor excels in a wide variety of masonry substrates, including solid concrete, brick, concrete block, and stone. Its 360‑degree expansion capability allows it to generate consistent holding power regardless of the direction of applied forces, making it suitable for anchoring heavy equipment, electrical panels, handrails, and structural supports. The zinc‑plated finish is particularly advantageous in outdoor or marine environments where exposure to salt spray or de‑icing salts could accelerate corrosion on untreated steel fasteners. Installers appreciate the pre‑assembled nature of the anchor, which reduces the number of steps required on site: drill the correctly sized hole, insert the anchor, and tighten the bolt to the recommended torque. This simplicity translates into faster project timelines and lower labor costs. The anchor’s size is ideal for medium‑to‑large diameter holes, providing a secure grip in both new construction and retrofit applications. Whether you are a contractor outfitting a commercial building, a maintenance technician securing equipment in an industrial plant, or a DIY enthusiast installing a heavy-duty shelving system in a garage, this product delivers the confidence of a proven, load‑bearing solution.

FAQ

What type of masonry can this anchor be used in?

The anchor is suitable for solid concrete, brick, concrete block, and stone. Its 360° expansion capability ensures consistent holding power across these substrates, making it a versatile choice for many construction and retrofit projects.

Do I need any additional components to install the anchor?

No additional components are required. The anchor comes pre‑assembled, so you only need the appropriate drill bit to create the hole, the anchor itself, and a compatible bolt or screw to tighten to the specified torque.

How does the zinc plating affect the anchor’s performance?

Zinc plating creates a protective barrier that resists corrosion from moisture, chemicals, and salt exposure. This extends the anchor’s service life, especially in outdoor, marine, or industrial environments where untreated steel would degrade more quickly.

Can this anchor be used for heavy equipment mounting?

Yes. The 3/8″ diameter and 6″ length provide a strong load‑bearing capacity suitable for anchoring heavy equipment, electrical panels, handrails, and structural supports in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.

What is the recommended torque for tightening the bolt?

We recommend tightening the bolt to the torque value specified in the product’s technical data sheet, typically between 30‑45 ft‑lb for this size anchor. Following the correct torque ensures optimal expansion and holding strength.
