Nylon and Zinc Nailons are low cost anchors for light duty applications under static loads
SPECIAL FEATURE
Nylon Nailon: The nylon shell acts as an insulator when used in electrical applications.
Zinc Nailon: Available with carbon and stainless steel pins. The pin and head configuration make this anchor tamper-resistant.
MATERIAL
Nylon Body: nylon - Pin - AISI 1018/1021 cold-rolled steel.
Zinc Body - die cast zinc ZAMAC 3 alloy;
Pin - Carbon and stainless steel (Type 304)
CODE REPORTS
Meets Federal Specification A-A-1925A, Type 1 (zinc mushroom),

in Normal-Weight Concrete
- The allowable loads listed are based on a safety factor of 4.0.
- Bulk Nailons come packed in a single carton of 1,000. To order add a "B" onto the end of the model number. Example: ZN25100B. Not available with stainless steel pins.
INSTALLATION
Caution: Oversized holes will make it difficult to set the anchor and will lower the anchor's load capacity.
These anchors are not recommended for eccentric tension (prying) loading. Capacity can be greatly reduced in such applications.
- Drill a hole in the base material using a carbide tipped drill bit the same diameter as the nominal diameter of the anchor to be installed. Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth plus 1/8 " for pin extension and blow it clean using compressed air. Alternatively, drill the hole deep enough to accommodate embedment depth and dust from drilling. Overhead installations need not be blown clean.
- Position fixture, insert Nailon.
- Tap with hammer until flush with fixture; drive pin until flush with top of head.
