Anchor Plug Baks GSO 6x40 mm E-90 – metal expansion fixing, MPN 803929

Baks GSO 6x40 mm E-90 is a metal expansion fixing designed for secure mechanical anchoring in solid substrates. With a 6 mm diameter and 40 mm length, the anchor plug expands inside drilled holes to hold rails, brackets and other fixtures in concrete, brick and natural stone. The component is intended for load-bearing attachments where a compact metal solution is required for construction and installation tasks.

Advantages

The metal expansion design provides a reliable clamp effect in solid masonry and concrete without relying on adhesives. Its compact 6×40 mm dimensions make it suitable for constrained installation spaces while delivering consistent expansion and holding power. The all-metal construction increases durability and temperature resistance compared with plastic alternatives, and the simple geometry enables fast installation with standard drill bits and screws.

Suitable for

• Fixing rails and mounting brackets to concrete and brick
• Securing fixtures and hardware in stone and masonry
• General construction anchors for load-bearing connections

Key specifications

• Anchor type: metal expansion fixing
• Nominal diameter: 6 mm
• Length: 40 mm
• Installation method: mechanical expansion in drilled hole
• Intended substrates: concrete, solid brick, natural stone
• Use case: load-bearing fixtures and hardware mounting

How to use

Drill a through or blind hole in the substrate using the recommended drill diameter for a 6 mm anchor. Clean the hole of dust and debris before insertion. Insert the metal expansion plug flush with the surface, position the fixture, and drive the appropriate screw into the anchor to activate the expansion. Tighten the screw to the required torque to achieve secure clamping without over-torquing, which could deform the anchor or substrate.

Usage recommendations

Verify substrate suitability and load requirements before selection. Use correct drill diameter and hole depth, and remove drilling dust to ensure full expansion. For edge distances, spacing and exact load values consult relevant standards or a structural engineer when anchoring critical or safety-related connections.
