Product Details
Rubber ankernuts (or rawlnuts) are synthetic rubber sleeves with brass inserts, used for creating secure, vibration-resistant, and watertight anchor points in hollow, thin, or brittle materials like plasterboard, plastic, and metal sheet. They work by expanding behind the cavity to provide a high-expansion anchor.
Key Uses and Applications
- Vibration Resistance: Ideal for fastening components that experience vibration, such as automotive parts, fan coils, and light machinery.
- Hollow/Thin Materials: Commonly used to fix items to plasterboard, hollow concrete blocks, steel sections, and metal sheeting.
- Watertight and Sealed Fixings: Used in marine fittings, windshields, and fish finders, as the rubber provides a waterproof seal.
- Brittle Substrates: Suitable for mounting items in materials where rigid fasteners might cause cracks, including glass and plastics.
- Irregular Holes: The flexible rubber allows for secure fastening even in misshapen, oversized, or awkward holes.
- Common Applications: Attaching electrical fittings, piping, signage, curtain rods, and skirting boards.
Advantages of Rubber Ankernuts
- High Expansion: Provides exceptional grip in cavities.
- Damping: Absorbs vibrations to prevent loosening.
- Corrosion Resistance: The EPDM rubber is resistant to weather and UV rays.
- Versatility: Works in both hollow and, with longer versions, some solid materials.
