The Wej-It MS56 expansion shield anchor is made of antimonial lead and zamac alloy, provides a secure hold in most materials including solid masonry and uncracked concrete, and meets Federal Specifications A-A 1922A Type 1 and FFS-325C Group 1, Type 1, Class 1. It can be used to anchor within uneven holes and soft materials, and its antimonial lead sleeve and zamac alloy cone resist rust for extended use. Also known as a machine screw anchor, the expansion shield anchor has a sleeve that expands around the anchor's cone base when the included setting tool is inserted, holding the anchor in place within the mounting material. After the setting tool has been removed, an item can be mounted by inserting a machine screw (sold separately) through it and into the anchor.
