B-LINE APC-8K – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a B-Line APC-8K plastic anchor hold in concrete block or brick?
Yes. The APC-8K is a plastic conical anchor from Eaton's B-Line series, and it is recommended for use in concrete, block and brick. Drill the masonry, seat the anchor in the hole, then drive the screw so the cone expands against the wall of the hole. It is intended for lightweight fixtures, not structural or heavy overhead loads.
2) Can I use the APC-8K conical anchor to hang a light fixture or electrical box?
It is sold for lightweight fixture mounting, so small surface boxes, strap-mounted fixtures, conduit clips and similar light loads in masonry are what it's for. Anything heavy, vibrating, or life-safety supported should go on a mechanical masonry anchor such as a wedge or sleeve anchor instead. The APC-8K is UL Listed and catalogued for electrical work.
3) Will a plastic conical anchor work in drywall or hollow block?
Conical plastic anchors need solid material around them to grip, which is why the APC-8K is called out for concrete, block and brick. In hollow-core block, hit the solid web or the mortar joint; in plain drywall with no masonry behind it, use a toggle or self-drilling drywall anchor instead, because the cone has nothing to bear against.
4) Is the B-Line APC-8K UL Listed for electrical installations?
Yes, UL Listed. That matters on institutional and commercial jobs where an inspector wants listed components in the support path for electrical fixtures.
5) What is the APC-8K anchor made of, and will it corrode in a damp location?
The body is plastic, so there is nothing in the anchor itself to rust. The screw you drive into it is a separate item and is what will govern corrosion resistance in a damp or exterior location, so pick a plated or stainless screw for those spots.
6) Do screws come with the B-Line APC-8K anchors?
The APC-8K is the anchor only, a plastic conical anchor. You supply the screw and the masonry bit. Match the screw diameter to the anchor so the cone expands fully in the hole rather than spinning.
