Omega
The Omega 21/18 Channel is a self-anchoring
channel for use with Ancon wall ties referenced

channel to be used where there is reduced
cover to the reinforcement. Nail holes aid the
fixing of the channel to timber formwork.

30/20
Patent No: EP0882164B
Ancon 30/20 is a high performance channel.
Its unique shape allows the applied load to
be fed directly from the channel lips to the
anchors and the more compact section MDC Support System Fixed to CombiDeck
size improves its fit between reinforcement. Featuring 30/20 Channel
Specially designed T-head bolts ride up the
sloping sides of the channel and securely lock
behind the front lips. This channel also accepts
standard 20mm wide wall ties. 30/20 is filled
with continuously extruded closed-cell PE-LD
foam. This material is removed easily in long
sections and is 100% recyclable.
Ancon 30/20 should be used in preference to
38/17 channel as 30/20 is a high performance
channel and its lower material content offers
considerable cost benefits.

Surface-Fixed Channels
Plain-backed channels can be surface-fixed
to steel, concrete and in some instances,
masonry (page 11).

25/14
Ancon 25/14 channel has been designed to
tie a masonry leaf to steel, timber or concrete
frames through a layer of insulation. The
channel accepts Ancon wall ties referenced _ _
25, typically SD25, and is fixed with either CFS
concrete screws (page 17) or HT high-thread
self-drilling screws (page 16). A compression
sleeve around the fixings may be required.
25/14 channel features alternate 5.3mm and
9.5mm diameter holes to accommodate both

Fixing to Channels
Fixing to channels is by ‘T’ head bolts.
These are inserted into the channel and turned
through 90°. The bolt must then be tightened
to the correct torque. Tapped plate washers
can be used as an alternative to ‘T’ bolts 90°

Ancon channels can be supplied with holes for

on the fixing centres, the type of fixing and the
base material.

Channels are supplied plain-backed for surface

fixing to either concrete or steelwork. When
bolting channel to concrete or steelwork it is
important to utilise all fixing holes (except with

Expansion Bolts
FAZII High Performance Bolts
These are high performance throughbolts
manufactured in grade A4 316 (1.4401 or
1.4571) stainless steel. They have double
expansion clips that reduce axial and edge
spacing and achieve high performance even in
cracked concrete.
They fix into a hole which is similar to the
diameter of the bolt. This allows the hole to be
drilled through the hole in the item to be fixed.

Option 1 for cracked concrete

FAZII Expansion Bolts should be specified in accordance with the design procedures described in ETAG001 Annex C: Design Methods for Anchorages.
FAZII bolts carry a European Technical Approval (ETA-05/0069) and are suitable for use in cracked and non-cracked concrete within the strength
class range of C20/25 to C50/60. Design resistances should be calculated for each individual application. For guidance on specific applications please

 Channel, Bolts and Fixings

Plug and Screw Fixings

The DUOPOWER 8 x 40 plug is a two component plug suitable for fixing to brickwork, blockwork
and both cracked and un-cracked concrete.
The Fischer DUOPOWER adjusts itself automatically to the building material and transfers the
highest loads through the three product functions of folding, expanding and knotting.
It requires an 8mm diameter hole, 50mm deep into the substrate.
The fixing into the DUOPOWER plug is a stainless
steel M6 x 50mm hex head coach screw.
The design resistance will depend on the
substrate type.
Please contact Leviat for further information.

Note: The published design resistances are based on tests using unreinforced concrete, grade C25/30, incorporating
a dense gravel aggregate. However, crushing strength is no guide to concrete strength in either shear or tension, and
concrete with a similar compressive strength but with a different aggregate may not achieve the same performance.
Providing suitable reinforcement is incorporated around the sockets, the published values will provide a sufficient factor
of safety for concrete with different characteristics.

CFS Concrete Fixing Screws

CFS screws allow Ancon 25/14 channel to be fixed to concrete through a layer of insulation.
Screws are available to accommodate a combined backing board and insulation thickness of up
to 267mm. A 6mm pilot hole is required. An Ancon Compression Sleeve is required around the
fixing, the same depth as the insulation. More information, including wall tie and screw spacings,
is available in Ancon’s 25/14 Restraint System datasheet.

Applications Other Ancon Products
Wall Ties and Restraint Fixings
Leviat manufactures Ancon ties in a variety of
lengths and types for restraining brickwork,
blockwork and stonework. These ties can be
fixed to concrete and structural steelwork, as
well as any type of masonry.

Masonry Support Systems

Masonry cladding on concrete or steel framed
buildings is normally supported by stainless
steel masonry support systems. We have
developed the most comprehensive range of
stainless steel support systems and restraints.
Student Centre, Products include AnconOptima, a standard
LSE, London, UK system available from stock. A full design and
drawing service accompanies our bespoke
support systems.

Tension Systems
The use of tie bars in structures and buildings
as an architectural as well as a structural
element is increasing. Ancon Tension Systems
comprise a range of components which can
be supplied in carbon steel or stainless steel
in a variety of sizes and finishes. The system
looks particularly impressive when used with
large areas of glazing or timber trusses.

Shear Load Connectors

Ancon DSD and ESD Shear Load Connectors
are used to transfer shear across expansion
and contraction joints in concrete. They
are more effective than standard dowels at
transferring load and allowing movement to
Deutsche Bank
Sydney NSW, Australia take place, and can be used to eliminate
double columns at structural movement joints
in buildings.

Punching Shear Reinforcement

Used within a slab to provide additional
reinforcement around columns, Ancon
Shearfix is the ideal solution to the design
and construction problems associated with
punching shear. The system consists of
double-headed studs welded to flat rails,
positioned around the column head. The shear
Magistrates Court load from the slab is transferred through the
Mansfield, UK
studs into the column.

Reinforcing Bar Couplers

The use of reinforcing bar couplers can
provide significant advantages over lapped
joints. Design and construction of the
concrete can be simplified and the amount of
reinforcement required can be reduced.
The Ancon range includes threaded and
mechanically bolted couplers.
