Anchors and fixings specialist ITW Construction Products is updating and improving its range of hammer screws with the launch of the all new Spit Hit M, a new version of the classic Spit Hit range designed to give improved performance and easier installation.
Spit Hit M is perfect for a wide variety of fixing tasks around site as it performs well on a variety of substrates including concrete and masonry. It is particularly useful in situations where the fixing needs to be demountable as the Spit Hit M anchor can be simply removed using a screwdriver. The anchor can be fixed in a pre-drilled hole in two ways, either by simply tapping in with a hammer or screwed in using a screwdriver to expand the specially designed sleeve.
The Spit Hit M's designed in features make it an exceptionally secure anchor. A longer thread and M-Slot design improves expansion in a variety of substrates while a break in the thread formation at the tip of the screw is designed to avoid pre-expansion - the first hit will drive the anchor, only the second will cause the expansion.
The sleeve head has also been designed with optimum performance in mind and it is reinforced to prevent breakage during setting. Two locking tips improve hold in shallow embedment applications while two fins provide extra grip on the base material. Extra grip is also provided by the grooves at the tip of the sleeve which are designed to improve hanging in light, friable materials.
Spit Hit M is sure to find thousands of light fixing applications on sites across the UK including fixing battening, beading, skirting boards, door frames, brackets, trunking, angle trim, collars, electrical shutter rails and many more.
It is available from good fixings suppliers nationwide. Users can find their nearest stockist and find out more about the new Spit Hit M system by calling 0141 342 1660.
