Zinc Plated Steel Hammer Drive Anchors

When to use zinc plated hammer drive anchors

Zinc plated hammer drive anchors are the economical, everyday choice for light-duty fixtures in dry and indoor masonry. The one-piece split base drives flush with a hammer so the halves expand against the hole wall for a permanent grip, with no setting tool needed, which makes them fast for long runs of nameplates, straps, and lightweight fittings. The zinc plating adds corrosion resistance over bare steel for indoor and general use. For outdoor, damp, or coastal exposure where the zinc would eventually corrode, step up to 18-8 stainless.

Why choose zinc plated steel hammer drive anchors

• Economical: cost-effective for light-duty masonry fastening.
• Fast install: hammer the pin, no setting tool needed.
• Corrosion resistant: zinc plating protects better than bare steel.
• Continuous grip: split base pushes against the hole wall.

Zinc Plated Steel Hammer Drive Anchors FAQ

Are zinc plated hammer drive anchors good outdoors?

The zinc plating suits indoor and dry use. For outdoor, damp, or coastal exposure, choose 18-8 stainless.

How are they installed?

Drill a hole the same diameter as the anchor, insert it through the fixture, and hammer the pin flush so the split base expands against the hole wall.

What loads are they good for?

Light-duty loads such as nameplates, signs, straps, and lightweight fixtures. For heavier holds, choose a strike, sleeve, or wedge anchor.
