Anchor for cracked and non-cracked
concrete
FH II is a new high performance sleeve anchor from Fischer which offers the highest performance, with excellent load-bearing in both cracked and non-cracked concrete.
It has a European Technical Approval at Option 1 for use in cracked concrete and F90 Fire Resistance capability The FH II offers up to 21 per cent higher permissible tensile load capacity and double the shear load capacity of its predecessor, the FH

Fixing into plasterboard - resolving the problems
Mirka Valovicova, technical manager at fischer fixings UK, considers the problems caused when trying to fix into this commonplace but problematic building material.
New Rapid Installation Foam from Fischer Fixings
Single Component Rapid Installation Foam PU1 500/B3 (and the bigger 750ml version) can be used for filling virtually any kinds of holes and gaps that are encountered during building projects.
The fixing achieves this impressive performance as a result of the interaction between the expansion sleeve and the cone.
When the screw or nut is tightened, the cone is pulled into the expansion sleeve and tightens against the inside of the drill hole.
Characteristic of fischer's new generation high performance anchors, the FH II features a black plastic ring.

Black means safety and ultimate strength.
The component itself is made from a high grade material, which absorbs the tightening slip when the anchor is stressed and compensates for any cavities in the anchor plate.
The result is a perfectly tight fit within the substrate.
This fixing is particularly suitable for use in situations where the aesthetic appearance is important.
Unlike with bolt anchors, where a length of threaded bolt can protrude from the fixing, in the case of the FH II, the head of the fixing will remain flush with the surface, if the countersunk head option is chosen.
Other head options include hexagonal head, cap nut and bolt with hexagonal nut.
As well as superior tensile and shear load bearing capabilities, the FH II allows the number of fixing points to be reduced substantially, leading to on-site savings in installation.
Installation itself is also straightforward with this anchor, since it can be set by hand or with a hammer blow.
Applications include the installation of stairways, railings, brackets, ladders, shelving units, steel constructions or shuttering props.
All of these can be installed in safety guaranteed by fischer technology, eliminating any risk of personal injury or damage to property.
The FH II high performance anchor offers a winning combination of very high performance in both cracked and non-cracked concrete, together with simple and economical installation and a good aesthetic appearance.
It's a great new addition to our range, which I think will prove popular with many of our construction industry customers, says Dr Dr Pietro Grandesso, managing director of fischer fixings UK .
The FH II sleeve anchor is available in diameters ranging from 12 mm (M8) to 32 mm (M24).
