Installing Machine Screw Anchors can be completed in five easy steps and can be used when working in concrete, brick and block base materials. Machine screw anchors are best suited for light to medium duty fastening purposes, are available in 3/16" (#10), 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" diameters and are made from a highly corrosive zinc-based alloy. After installation, the fixture is removable because the anchor can be left in the concrete, but the machine screw or bolt used can be unscrewed and removed.
