Metallics LCSX1280 Anchors 1/2 x 8 Hx Hd Lg Dia CS St-Gv (Box 20)

At 8 inches overall, the 1/2 inch anchor is meant for anchoring through thick material, grout beds, or stacked channel into concrete below. You lose length to whatever you are clamping, so the embedment left in the concrete equals 8 inches minus the thickness of the fixture plus washer and nut. If you are only fastening a thin bracket flat to a slab, a shorter 1/2 inch anchor is the better buy.

It is galvanized carbon steel, so it is suited to exterior and damp work like outdoor equipment pads, loading docks and parking structures. Galvanized is not stainless, so for coastal salt spray, pool chemistry or wastewater exposure specify a stainless anchor instead.

The LCSX1280 is a hex head anchor, so it is driven and tightened with a socket or wrench on the head, not a screwdriver bit. You drill the hole in the concrete, drop the anchor through the fixture into the hole, and torque the hex head to expand it.

This is a masonry anchor. The Metallics LCSX1280 is a 1/2 inch large diameter anchor for concrete, block and brick, typically used by electrical and mechanical trades to hang strut, conduit racks, panels and equipment. It is not a wood or sheet metal fastener.

Order it as Metallics LCSX1280. That single part number covers the 1/2 x 8 galvanized carbon steel hex head large diameter anchor in the 20 piece box; there are no separate finish or length options under it.
