Pin Type Anchor Fasteners
What is Pin Type Anchor Fasteners?
Pin type anchor fasteners are high-strength mechanical anchors used to securely fix structural and non-structural elements to concrete, brick, or masonry surfaces. They consist of a hollow cylindrical body and a separate metal pin or nail. When the pin is driven into the anchor body, it expands against the drilled hole’s walls, creating a firm and vibration-resistant hold.
These anchors are widely used in construction, infrastructure, and heavy-duty mounting applications where reliability and load-bearing capacity are critical.

Do you have questions?
What are Pin Type Anchor Fasteners used for?
Pin type anchors are used to fasten heavy items to concrete or masonry, such as railings, equipment bases, and structural supports.
How do you install a Pin Type Anchor?
Drill a hole in the base material, insert the anchor, and drive the pin using a hammer. The pin expands the anchor body to grip the walls securely.
Are Pin Type Anchors reusable?
No, these are single-use fasteners. Removing them typically damages the anchor, so a new one must be used for reinstallation.
Are stainless steel versions available for outdoor use?
Yes, stainless steel Pin Type Anchors are rust-resistant and ideal for outdoor or humid environments.
