Lag Shield Anchor

Lag Shield Anchors

Lag Shield Description

This two-part expansion shield is preassembled into a self-contained single unit. The shell-like unit has tapered internal threads for a portion of its length. The outside of the anchor has a series of circumferential ribs starting at the bottom and running for a major portion of its length. The back end of the anchor has two equally spaced ribs that protrude beyond its diameter and run for a portion of its length. Precision internal threads permit easy turning of the lag screw without lubrication. Once fastened, an object may be easily unbolted and removed. All parts of the completed unit are made of zinc alloy commonly known as Zamak 5, a rustproof material. The anchor comes in two lengths, short or long. The short lag shield is for anchoring in high grade concrete or where thickness of base material prohibits the use of a longer length shield. The long Lag shield is for use in lower grade base material or where extra anchoring strength is required.

Lag Shield Anchor Features

  • Light to Medium duty anchor used in concrete, tile, brick cinder block, mortar and stone.
  • Used with lag screws.
  • Rustproof.
  • Unique four-way expansion assures a tight grip in the base material.
  • Available in a short length or long length. The short lag shield my be used to minimize drilling time in hard masonry. The long lag shied will develop excellent holding values in a softer base material.

Lag Shield Anchor Approvals

Meets G.S.A. Specification FF-S-325, Group II, Type 1, Class 1 & 2. Zamak #5 Zinc Alloy meets the A.S.T.M. specification XXV (AC41A) and S.A.E. 925.

Determining Length of Screw

Purchase Lag Shield Anchors OnlineThickness of material to be fastened plus Lag Shield length plus 1/2" equals Lag Screw length. The screw tip of the screw must protrude out from the bottom of the anchor to insure proper expansion

Lag Shield Anchor Spacing Requirements

The forces on a Lag Shield anchor are transferred to the material that it is installed in. If the anchors are installed too close together, it can cause an interaction of the forces, thus reducing the holding power of the anchor. As a rule of thumb, the expansion industry has established a minimum standard of ten (10) anchor diameters for spacing between anchors and five (5) anchor diameters from an unsupported edge. When vibration or sudden impact is part of the load condition anchor spacing should be increased.
