TX-CON Hex Slot Masonry Screw Anchor M6.5: Performance Data

Key things to remember

The essentials from this document in plain words. Check the full document before you rely on a figure.

• ✓Light to medium duty, no plug needed. For concrete, aerated concrete, brick, hollow concrete block and timber (self drilling).
• ✓Listed uses: electrical conduit and pipe saddles, lighting, signage, downpipes and guttering, brackets and handrails.
• ✓Sizes: M6.5 x 32, 45, 58, 70, 83 and 100 (MTXTRHL65032 to MTXTRHL65100), hex slot head, 5/16 inch drive, packs of 100. HEC carbon steel, silver grey R1000 hours protective coat, minimum 15 microns.
• ✓Drill a 5mm hole. Example: M6.5 x 70 at 45mm embedment, minimum spacing 135mm and edge distance 68mm: working load 4.2kN in tension and 2.8kN in shear. Working loads are for concrete with f'c = 32MPa and include factors of safety of 2.5 for steel and 3.0 for concrete.
• ✓The shortest, M6.5 x 32 at 25mm embedment, has a working load of 1.2kN in tension and 2.3kN in shear under the same conditions.
• ✓There are no torque values: drive the anchor until the head is in firm, snug contact with the fixture and the fixture is firm against the base material. Over-tightening can damage the fixture.

Who it helps: Electricians, plumbers and builders fixing light to medium loads into concrete and masonry.
