Fast Light-Duty Fixing for Masonry

Bremick Nail-In Anchors provide fast, economical through fixing for compatible concrete, solid brick, solid block & natural stone applications.

Designed for light-duty, non-safety-critical fastening, these nylon anchors are installed through the fixture into a pre-drilled hole before the drive pin is hammered into position.

Bremick offers mushroom, countersunk & round head configurations across 5 mm & 6.5 mm anchor sizes, with selected lengths matched to fixture thickness, embedment depth & drilling requirements.

For projects requiring a wider range of masonry fixings, Anchors & Wall Plugs provides access to related fastening options.

What Are Nail-In Anchors?

Nail-in anchors are light-duty through fasteners that use a nylon anchor body plus drive pin to secure fixtures into compatible masonry substrates.

The anchor is inserted through the fixture into the drilled hole. Hammering the pin causes the nylon body to grip within the substrate.

Bremick specifies its zinc nylon nail-in range for:

► Uncracked concrete
► Solid brick
► Solid block
► Natural stone

Typical trade applications include:

► Signage
► Brackets
► Sanitary fixtures
► Light fit-out work
► General maintenance
► Building accessories
► Repetitive masonry fixing

The current Bremick product sheet classifies this range as non-safety-critical plus light duty.

For projects using multiple fixing types across one installation, Screws & Anchors provides a broader fastening pathway.

Why Choose Nail-In Anchors for Light-Duty Masonry Fixing?

The key advantage is installation speed.

Nail-in anchors combine through fixing with hammer setting, reducing the number of separate fastening steps required across repetitive light-duty work.

Trade benefits include:

► Quick through fixing
► Simple hammer installation
► Multiple head styles
► Nylon anchor body
► Removable drive pin
► Practical use across compatible masonry
► Efficient repetitive installation
► Suitable options for different fixture thicknesses

Bremick also states that the nylon body insulates the anchor screw from the fixture.

Where masonry installation forms part of a broader construction job, Specialty Fasteners & Fixings can support additional fastening requirements.

Choose the Base Material First

Anchor selection should start with the substrate.

Bremick identifies four key suitable materials.

Uncracked Concrete

Uncracked concrete provides a suitable base where the selected anchor diameter, embedment depth, hole dimensions & fixture thickness meet the product requirements.

Solid Brick

Solid brick applications require sound masonry plus a fixing position suitable for the anchor.

Avoid assuming that hollow brick behaves the same way.

Solid Block

Solid block can suit Bremick nail-in anchors where the substrate matches the product requirement.

Confirm that the block is genuinely solid before installation.

Natural Stone

Natural stone varies significantly in density, hardness & condition.

Confirm suitability against the actual substrate before committing to repetitive fixing.

Do not assume suitability for hollow masonry, cracked concrete or structural anchoring unless the selected product is specifically approved for that application.

For masonry drilling preparation, Drill Accessories can support the drilling stage before anchor installation.

Product Selection Guide – Diameter, Length, Fixture Thickness & Embedment

Correct selection depends on more than anchor length.

Use this sequence:

► Identify the base material
► Confirm fixture thickness
► Select anchor diameter
► Select anchor length
► Choose head style
► Confirm drill-hole diameter
► Confirm drill-hole depth
► Confirm minimum embedment
► Check fixture clearance hole
► Check exposure condition
► Confirm load requirement
► Confirm non-safety-critical suitability

Bremick's zinc nylon nail-in data covers 5 mm & 6.5 mm anchor diameters.

5 mm Nail-In Anchors

Selected 5 mm variants use a 5 mm drill hole with fixture-clearance-hole guidance of 6 mm.

Available lengths vary by head style.

6.5 mm Nail-In Anchors

Selected 6.5 mm variants use a 6.5 mm drill hole with fixture-clearance-hole guidance of 8 mm.

Longer mushroom-head versions extend up to 100 mm, supporting thicker fixture applications where the product specification permits.

Choose anchor length around fixture thickness plus minimum embedment, not length alone.

Mushroom Head Nail-In Anchors

Bremick's mushroom-head range provides a broader bearing profile against the fixture.

The current zinc mushroom-head range includes:

► 5 × 19 mm
► 5 × 25 mm
► 5 × 38 mm
► 6.5 × 25 mm
► 6.5 × 38 mm
► 6.5 × 50 mm
► 6.5 × 75 mm
► 6.5 × 100 mm

Maximum fixture thickness varies from 4 mm to 60 mm across listed options.

Mushroom heads can suit applications where a broader finished head is useful across signs, brackets, panels or other light-duty fixtures.

For bracket-related installation hardware, Mounting Hardware can support related fixing requirements.

Countersunk Nail-In Anchors

Countersunk nail-in anchors suit fixtures designed to accept a recessed head profile.

Bremick's zinc countersunk range includes selected:

► 5 × 25 mm
► 5 × 38 mm
► 6.5 × 25 mm
► 6.5 × 38 mm
► 6.5 × 50 mm
► 6.5 × 75 mm

Maximum fixture thickness varies by length plus diameter.

Use countersunk anchors only where the fixture geometry suits the head.

A countersunk fixing should seat correctly rather than being forced against a surface that does not accommodate the head shape.

Round Head Nail-In Anchors

Bremick also lists round-head nylon nail-in anchors.

Current zinc round-head options include:

► 5 × 25 mm
► 5 × 38 mm
► 6.5 × 25 mm
► 6.5 × 38 mm
► 6.5 × 50 mm
► 6.5 × 75 mm

Round-head variants provide another finished head profile for fixtures where countersinking is unnecessary.

Head choice should follow the fixture design rather than appearance alone.

Zinc Nail-In Anchors – Use the Exposure Rating Correctly

Bremick specifies the zinc-plated drive-pin version for dry internal applications.

That exposure boundary is important.

Before selecting the zinc range, check:

► Internal or external location
► Moisture exposure
► Cleaning environment
► Fixture material
► Required service life
► Corrosion risk
► Project specification

Do not automatically use the zinc version outdoors simply because the anchor fits the hole.

Where the job requires a different material specification, check Bremick's wider nail-in range plus project requirements before installation.

Nail-In Anchors vs Wall Plugs

Nail-in anchors plus wall plugs follow different fixing methods.

Nail-in anchor: through fixing followed by hammer setting.

Wall plug: plug placed in the substrate followed by a separate screw.

Nail-in anchors can be faster for repetitive through fixing where the product is suitable.

Wall plugs can suit different light-duty installation requirements where a separate screw is preferred.

Neither fixing system should be selected purely on installation speed.

For adjacent masonry fixing options, Anchors & Wall Plugs provides the relevant comparison category.

Nail-In Anchors vs Screw Anchors

Screw anchors use a different anchoring mechanism.

Nail-in anchors are positioned around:

► Light-duty fixing
► Through fastening
► Hammer setting
► Non-safety-critical applications

Screw anchors can suit different loads, embedment requirements & base materials depending on the specific product.

Do not substitute one system for another without checking:

► Load requirement
► Substrate
► Embedment
► Fixture thickness
► Edge distance
► Spacing
► Exposure
► Safety classification

The quickest fixing is not always the correct fixing.

How to Install Bremick Nail-In Anchors

Bremick's published installation process is straightforward.

1. Drill

Drill the hole to the specified diameter plus depth.

2. Clear the Hole

Remove drilling debris before inserting the anchor.

3. Insert Through the Fixture

Tap the nylon anchor through the fixture until the anchor head sits flush with the fixture surface.

4. Set the Drive Pin

Use light hammer blows until the drive pin sits flush with the anchor head.

5. Check the Fixing

Confirm the fixture is seated correctly with no obvious anchor damage or movement.

Correct drilling is critical.

An oversized hole, insufficient depth or poor alignment can reduce fixing consistency.

Why Drill-Hole Depth Matters

Bremick publishes specific drill-hole depth plus embedment requirements for each anchor size.

Examples include:

► 5 × 25 mm mushroom: 25 mm drill depth with 20 mm minimum embedment
► 5 × 38 mm mushroom: 30 mm drill depth with 25 mm
minimum embedment
► 6.5 × 50 mm mushroom: 35 mm drill depth with 30 mm minimum embedment
► 6.5 × 100 mm mushroom: 65 mm drill depth with 40 mm
minimum embedment

Fixture thickness affects these values.

Bremick notes that where actual fixture thickness is below the listed maximum, drill-hole depth plus minimum substrate-thickness requirements need adjustment.

This is why buyers should select from the technical table rather than choosing the longest anchor available.

Light-Duty Capacity – Read the Numbers Correctly

Bremick publishes recommended capacities for selected nylon nail-in anchors based on 20 MPa concrete compressive strength plus characteristic ultimate capacities divided by four.

Published examples include:

► 5 mm anchor with 20 mm minimum embedment – recommended load of 10 kg
► 5 mm anchor with 25 mm minimum embedment –
recommended load of 12 kg
► 6.5 mm anchor with 25 mm minimum embedment – recommended load of 12 kg
► 6.5 mm anchor with 30 mm minimum embedment – rcommended load of 16 kg

These figures are provided for comparison within Bremick's stated scope.

Do not treat them as universal design capacities across every substrate or project condition.

Bremick specifically recommends confirming the fixing solution for the actual anchoring application.

Expert Tips for Better Nail-In Anchor Installation

Confirm the substrate first.
Use the anchor only in compatible base materials.

Match diameter exactly.
Use the drill-hole diameter specified for the selected anchor.

Check fixture thickness.
Fixture thickness affects required length plus embedment.

Drill to sufficient depth.
Do not rely on anchor length as a substitute for hole-depth calculation.

Clear drilling debris.
A clean hole supports consistent seating.

Keep the drill square.
Poor alignment can affect anchor position.

Use light hammer blows.
The goal is controlled setting, not excessive impact.

Match head style to the fixture.
Choose mushroom, countersunk or round according to the fixing surface.

Respect exposure limits.
The zinc-plated version is specified for dry internal applications.

Respect the safety classification.
Use another anchoring system where structural or safety-critical performance is required.

For crews comparing anchors, bolts plus screws across different site requirements, the Fastener Guide: Bolts, Screws & Anchors provides broader selection guidance.

Common Nail-In Anchor Problems

Installation issues often come from the hole, substrate or product choice rather than the hammer.

Watch for:

► Anchor spinning
► Loose fixture
► Bent drive pin
► Damaged nylon sleeve
► Anchor failing to seat
► Head sitting proud
► Excessive fixture movement
► Oversized drill hole
► Insufficient embedment
► Incorrect anchor length
► Wrong substrate
► Incorrect exposure selectio

If a fixing repeatedly fails, stop plus check the complete setup.

Do not compensate for an unsuitable hole or anchor by increasing hammer force.

Where masonry drilling tools form part of a larger site kit, Power Tools can support drilling plus installation requirements.

Can Bremick Nail-In Anchors Be Removed?

Yes.

Bremick states that the nylon nail-in anchor can be removed where required by unscrewing the drive pin with a flat-blade screwdriver.

This can be useful for:

► Fixture replacement
► Maintenance access
► Sign changes
► Fit-out alterations
► Temporary light-duty fixtures

Removal does not automatically mean the same anchor should be reused.

Inspect the substrate plus use a suitable new fixing where required.

Plan Repetitive Masonry Fixing Before Starting

High-volume installation should begin with a test fixing.

Confirm this combination first:

substrate + fixture thickness + anchor diameter + anchor length + head style + hole diameter + hole depth + embedment

The first few fixings should show:

► Consistent drilling
► Correct anchor insertion
► Clean hammer setting
► Proper head seating
► Stable fixture position
► No damaged nylon
► No bent pins
► Repeatable installation

Correct setup at the start can prevent dozens of incorrect fixings later.
