Overview
Ramset™ released the Ankascrew™ onto the Australian market in February 2000.
Ankascrew™ was originally marketed to the Do It Yourself, home handyperson segment, but because of its simplistic design and ease of use, it has become a popular masonry anchor to all trades.
The Ankascrew™ is an innovative, self tapping screw-in anchor, used to fasten fixtures in the light to medium duty range and will fasten materials to concrete and
other solid masonry as well as hollow concrete block, solid pressed brick and extended wire cut bricks with holes therein.
The RamsetTM Ankascrew™ is a self tapping anchor with multi-use capabilities where the thread cuts into the substrate for a positive and secure anchorage.

Uses
- Pallet racking
- Temporary safety barriers
- Conveyors pipe brackets
- Gate hinges into brickwork
- Temporary hand rails
- Bottom plates
- Used for fast and simple anchoring into solid concrete and masonry or hollow brick and block
To achieve maximum loads the installation process needs to be carried out as follows:
Installation
- Drill a hole to the correct diameter and depth
- Clean hole with a brush and remove debris with vacuum or hand pump
- Using a socket wrench, screw the Ankascrew™ into the hole exerting a slight downward pressure until the “self-tapping” starts
- Tighten the Ankascrew™. If resistance is experienced whilst tightening, unscrew fastener one turn and re-tighten, ensuring not to overtighten
NOTE: Hole depth = bolt length fixture thickness + overdrill depth.
