Mechanical Driven Anchor Walraven M8x30mm, hot-dip galvanized (DWZ)

Walraven Mechanical Driven Anchor M8x30mm is a compact mechanical (wedge) anchor designed for reliable fastening in solid base materials. The anchor features an M8 thread and a 30 mm overall length, with hot-dip galvanised (DWZ) corrosion protection that provides a metallic barrier suitable for general construction and installation tasks. This driven anchor is intended for securing fixtures, brackets and light equipment where a durable, metallic fastener is required.

Advantages

The driven wedge design ensures quick, repeatable installation with a secure hold in concrete and other solid substrates. Hot-dip galvanisation (DWZ) enhances corrosion resistance for indoor and certain outdoor applications, extending service life compared with untreated steel anchors. Its compact M8 thread and short overall length make it suitable for tight mounting conditions while keeping a low profile after installation.

Suitable for

• Fixing light equipment and brackets to concrete and solid masonry
• General mechanical fastening in construction and renovation work
• Situations requiring a compact M8 fastener with metallic corrosion protection
• Applications where a driven (wedge) anchor provides faster installation than chemical anchors

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8
• Overall length: 30 mm
• Anchor type: mechanical driven (wedge) anchor
• Material finish: hot-dip galvanised (DWZ) for corrosion protection
• Intended base materials: solid concrete and solid masonry

How to use

Drill a hole in the base material to the specified diameter and depth for an M8 driven anchor, clean the hole of dust and debris, insert the anchor and drive it flush with the surface using an appropriate hammer or setting tool. Tighten the fastening screw or bolt to the required torque so the wedge engages and expands against the hole walls, creating mechanical interlock. Follow standard installation practices and applicable building codes for spacing, edge distances and load directions.

Usage recommendations

Use in solid base materials only; do not use in hollow or perforated blocks unless approved sleeves or backing measures are applied. For outdoor or corrosive environments beyond typical DWZ performance, consider stainless steel or specially coated anchors. Verify required drill diameter, embedment depth and torque values from technical tables and perform test installations where load criticality is high.
