FISCHER Thermax 8/100 M6 Steel Galvanized Nylon 8 mm insulated anchor with metal screw

FISCHER Thermax 8/100 M6 Steel Galvanized Nylon 8 mm insulated anchor with metal screw combines a galvanized steel screw and an 8 mm nylon sleeve to secure insulation boards and façade components to masonry and concrete. Designed specifically for thermal insulation systems, the anchor reduces thermal bridging while providing a mechanical connection that resists corrosion. The FISCHER Thermax 8/100 M6 supports reliable fixing of external insulation in new build and renovation projects where long-term stability and compatibility with insulation materials are required.

Advantages

The galvanized steel screw provides enhanced corrosion resistance while the nylon sleeve minimises thermal conductivity between the fixture and the substrate. The 8 mm sleeve diameter and 100 mm length ensure appropriate embedment depth for common insulation thicknesses, and the M6 thread size fits standard metal screws used in façade applications. The combined steel and nylon construction delivers stable load transfer and reduces the risk of damage to insulation boards during installation.

Suitable for

• Fixing external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) to masonry and concrete
• Securing polystyrene, mineral wool and similar insulation boards
• Renovation and new construction façades requiring corrosion-resistant anchors
• Applications where reduction of thermal bridging is important

How to use

Drill a hole in the substrate with a drill bit sized to the 8 mm sleeve diameter and to the required depth for the 100 mm anchor. Clean the hole of dust and debris. Insert the nylon sleeve into the drilled hole until flush with the insulation surface. Position the insulation board and drive the galvanized steel M6 screw through the board and into the sleeve, ensuring the screw head compresses the insulation evenly without over-torquing. Verify correct embedment and tightness according to the insulation system manufacturer's recommendations and local building regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use the FISCHER Thermax 8/100 M6 anchors in accordance with the thermal insulation system technical data and installation guides. Select anchor lengths and spacing based on insulation thickness, wind loads and substrate condition. For environments with aggressive corrosion risks, consider additional corrosion protection or alternative stainless steel options if specified in project requirements.
