Drop-in anchor HE-CL | Zinc plated
Drop-in anchor HE-CL FZB with lip, Option 7 / Part 6, is a robust and reliable anchoring solution made of zinc-plated steel. It consists of an expansion sleeve, an internal expansion cone, and an integrated lip that provides extra stability. The design allows for simple and secure installation in hard materials such as concrete and stone, ensuring a long-lasting and durable fastening. Approved for non-cracked concrete in structural systems and for multiple anchorages in non-structural systems in cracked and non-cracked concrete. Drop-in anchor with internal thread, whose high expansion capacity allows for a small drill hole and shallow anchorage depth. A setting tool is necessary for proper installation. The lip keeps the drop-in anchor in place during installation, which facilitates the assembly.
AREA OF USE
The HE-CL FZB drop-in anchor with lip is used for fastening heavy objects in concrete and stone. The installation is simple: drill a hole, insert the anchor, and drive it in with a hammer. Advantages include increased stability thanks to the lip, quick installation, and high strength, making the product ideal for construction and industrial applications.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What characterizes a drop-in anchor with a lip (HE-CL) and how does it work?
HE-CL is an internally threaded expansion anchor equipped with an integrated lip at the top of the sleeve:
-
Integrated lip for perfect placement: The lip stops the anchor from sliding too deep into the drill hole during insertion and activation. This significantly facilitates installation, especially for serial installations and overhead mounting in ceilings.
-
Small drill depth and gentle expansion: The high expansion capacity allows the anchor to reach full load-bearing capacity with a shallow anchorage depth and smaller drill hole diameter. This saves drilling time and reduces wear on the hammer drill.
-
Flexible fastening: The internal thread allows for the use of any screw length, threaded rod, or bolt (M6–M16) depending on what is to be mounted.
What building approvals does the drop-in anchor (Option 7 / Part 6) have?
The HE-CL drop-in anchor is certified according to European Technical Assessments (ETA) for versatile use in structural and non-structural constructions:
-
Option 7 (Structural systems): Approved for structural and safety-critical single anchorages in non-cracked concrete and solid natural stone.
-
Part 6 (Multiple anchorages): Approved for repeated fastenings in both cracked and non-cracked concrete when mounting non-structural systems (e.g., ceilings, pipe runs, cable trays, and ventilation ducts).
-
Electro-galvanized steel (FZB / C1-C2): Provides effective corrosion protection for dry indoor environments, heated premises, and protected building structures.
How do you correctly install an HE-CL drop-in anchor with a lip?
-
Drilling and thorough cleaning: Drill the hole with the specified diameter and depth. Clean the drill hole thoroughly by blowing out the drill dust with a blow-out bulb and brushing with a steel brush – drill dust significantly impairs expansion force.
-
Place the anchor: Push or tap the drop-in anchor down gently until the lip rests completely flush against the concrete surface.
-
Activate with the correct setting tool: Insert a dedicated setting tool (punch) into the anchor and strike with a hammer until the tool's collar reaches the top of the anchor. This drives down the internal expansion cone and ensures that the sleeve has fully expanded in the concrete.
