Anchor bolt FISCHER Thermax 10/160 M6 Steel Zinc/Nylon 10 mm

FISCHER Thermax 10/160 M6 Steel Zinc/Nylon 10 mm is a mechanical anchor bolt designed for reliable fastening in solid base materials such as concrete and masonry. The 10 mm diameter anchor combines a steel body with a zinc coating and a nylon sleeve to create a controlled expansion when tightened, transferring load into the substrate. It is intended for medium-duty applications where a robust, corrosion-resistant fastening is required.

Advantages

The anchor bolt uses a mechanical expansion principle that provides predictable load transfer and consistent performance in approved base materials. The steel body with zinc plating improves corrosion resistance in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments, while the nylon component facilitates clean expansion and reduces friction during installation. The combination of materials and geometry makes the anchor suitable for installations where medium tensile and shear loads are expected.

Suitable for

• Mounting brackets and rails on concrete or brick
• Fixing fixtures, supports and metal profiles
• Anchoring medium-duty installations such as handrails and signage
• Applications requiring a compact anchor with controlled expansion

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 10 mm
• Embedment/anchor length: 160 mm (total length)
• Thread size: M6
• Materials: steel body with zinc plating and nylon expansion sleeve
• Expansion type: mechanical expansion (sleeve and cone)
• Typical base materials: concrete, solid masonry

How to use

Drill a clearance hole in the base material with the recommended 10 mm drill bit to the required depth, ensuring the hole is clean and free of dust. Insert the anchor so the nylon sleeve sits flush with the substrate surface or to the specified embedment depth. Fit the fixture and tighten the M6 nut or bolt to the torque value appropriate for the base material and load conditions; this pulls the cone into the sleeve and causes controlled expansion against the hole walls. Do not overtighten beyond recommended torque to avoid damage to the anchor or substrate.

Usage recommendations

Use only in base materials listed in relevant technical guidance and follow manufacturer torque tables or engineering specifications for load requirements. Ensure drill holes are clean and correct diameter, and avoid using the anchor in cracked or hollow substrates unless specific tests or approvals allow it. For outdoor or highly corrosive environments, consider stainless options or additional corrosion protection.
