Klimas dowel anchor with conical cross-head 10 x 60 mm KRX-10X60 is a mechanical fastening element designed for secure installation of fixtures in both solid and hollow base materials. The anchor has a 10 mm diameter and 60 mm length and features a conical head shaped for a cross (Phillips) screwdriver, enabling straightforward insertion and tightening. When the screw is driven, the sleeve expands to form a reliable grip in concrete, brick, or hollow blocks, providing support for light to medium loads encountered in construction and renovation.
Advantages
The dowel anchor provides dependable expansion anchoring that adapts to different substrate types. Its conical cross-head allows easy engagement with standard Phillips drivers, speeding up installation. The 10 x 60 mm size offers a balance between penetration depth and holding capacity, making it suitable for mounting items such as brackets, rails, and fittings. The design minimizes the risk of pull-out in solid masonry while also functioning in hollow materials by expanding to fill cavities.
Suitable for
- Fixing wall brackets and shelves to concrete or brick
- Mounting rails, handrails, and light structural supports
- Attaching fittings, conduit clips, and cable trays
- Applications in renovation where mixed substrate types are present
Key specifications
- Nominal diameter: 10 mm
- Length: 60 mm
- Head type: conical cross (Phillips) head
- Anchor type: mechanical expansion sleeve
- Suitable substrates: solid masonry and hollow blocks
- Load suitability: light to medium loads (brackets, fittings, rails)
How to use
Drill a hole in the base material using a drill bit that matches the anchor diameter, ensuring correct hole depth for the 60 mm length. Clean the hole from dust and debris before insertion. Insert the dowel anchor into the drilled hole until the conical head sits flush with the surface. Place the fixture over the anchor and drive an appropriate screw with a Phillips screwdriver or bit. As the screw is tightened, the sleeve expands to secure the anchor in the substrate. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the anchor or base material.
Usage recommendations
Use the dowel anchor in drilled holes that match the anchor diameter and recommended depth. For hollow materials, ensure the sleeve can expand freely to form a proper hold. Choose screws of appropriate length to account for fixture thickness plus the full embedment depth. For critical or heavy-duty installations, consult specific load tables or a structural specialist to confirm suitability.
