RawlPlug Carbon Steel Shield Anchor M12 x 170 mm, 75 mm Max Fixing, Zinc Plated RBP2-M12/75W

The RawlPlug RBP2-M12/75W Carbon Steel Shield Anchor is a robust mechanical expanding bolt, engineered for reliable and high-performance anchoring in demanding construction and industrial environments. This shield anchor is specifically designed for use in cracked and non-cracked concrete, hollow core slabs, flooring blocks, and ceramics, providing secure and lasting fixation for structural and heavy-duty installations.

The RBP2-M12/75W model features a projecting bolt design, utilizing a three-piece expanding steel shield sleeve that guarantees maximum holding power and safety. Its carbon steel construction is finished with a zinc plating, giving superior resistance to corrosion and extending the product’s service life, even in harsh operating environments. The anchor accommodates an M12 thread size, has a total length of 170 mm, and supports maximum fixing thicknesses up to 75 mm.

Installation is straightforward: after drilling a hole with the correct diameter and depth (from 6 mm up to 24 mm as needed for various substrates), cleaning out debris thoroughly, and inserting the anchor, the fixture is positioned and tightened using the projecting bolt. The expanding action of the sleeve provides secure retention in a range of solid and hollow substrates.

Engineers and builders favor this RawlPlug shield anchor for its versatility - it is approved for cracked and non-cracked concrete (ETA option 1), reinforced and unreinforced solid clay brick, hollow lightweight and sand-lime blocks, concrete hollow floor blocks, and hollow-core slabs. Notably, the RBP2-M12/75W is not suitable for cavity wall or plasterboard fixing. Common applications include installing roller shutter doors, fire doors, heavy machinery, structural steelwork, security grilles, as well as pipework and ductwork supports.

The anchor meets ETA-11/0479 certification requirements for safety and is recommended where fire resistance and optimal load characteristics are crucial. The bolt’s zinc-plated finish ensures durability and longevity, making it an excellent choice for industrial, construction, manufacturing, and commercial use cases.
