Brass expansion anchors are internally threaded mechanical fasteners used to attach suitable fixtures, brackets and accessories to approved solid base materials. Their compact design, metric threads and corrosion-resistant brass construction make them an option for various electrical, mechanical and building-services applications.
For bulk buyers, selecting the correct brass anchor involves more than choosing between M6, M8, M10 and M12. The base material, fixture load, installation method, hole dimensions and project specifications must also be considered.
At Ferry International, we manufacture brass anchors for industrial and construction requirements in India. Our published product range includes M6, M8, M10 and M12 brass anchors.
This guide explains the available dimensions, typical applications, important installation considerations and the information procurement teams should provide when requesting a bulk quotation.

A brass expansion anchor is a metal fastening insert with an internal thread and an expansion mechanism.
It is installed into a correctly prepared hole in a compatible base material. When the appropriate screw or bolt is fitted and tightened according to the manufacturer's installation instructions, the anchor expands against the surrounding material.
The resulting mechanical connection can be used for an approved fixture or support arrangement.
Brass expansion anchors are commonly considered for:
Electrical and MEP contractors frequently need threaded fixing points for equipment accessories and building-service components.
Brass anchors offer several practical characteristics.
The internal metric thread allows a compatible bolt or screw to connect the fixture to the anchor.
This arrangement can be useful where a compact threaded fixing point is specified.
Brass offers corrosion resistance in many service conditions.
However, suitability for coastal, chemically aggressive or continuously wet environments depends on the brass alloy, exposure conditions and complete fixing assembly.
Brass expansion anchors are available in relatively compact sizes.
They may be considered for installation locations where the approved design calls for a small mechanical expansion anchor.
With M6, M8, M10 and M12 options, procurement teams can identify different thread sizes for project requirements.
Important: A larger thread size does not automatically establish that an anchor is suitable for a particular load. Approved performance data and the base material must be checked.
Ferry International publishes the following dimensions for its brass anchors.
| Thread size | Dimension D | Dimension H | Dimension L |
|---|---|---|---|
| M6 | 8 mm | 24 mm | 22 mm |
| M8 | 10 mm | 30 mm | 28 mm |
| M10 | 12 mm | 35 mm | 33 mm |
| M12 | 15 mm | 40 mm | 38 mm |

The table reproduces the manufacturer's published dimensional labels.
Do not treat Dimension D as an approved drill-hole diameter without checking the product drawing or installation instructions.
The letter M indicates the nominal metric thread size.
For example:
The actual anchor-body dimensions are different from the thread diameter.

The base material is one of the most important parts of anchor selection.
Selection should start with the fixture and installation requirements, not with the assumption that a particular M-size is sufficient.
Confirm whether the fixing is intended for an electrical accessory, equipment bracket, mechanical-service component or another application.
Identify the actual substrate:
The anchor must be appropriate for the specific substrate condition.
Review the expected tensile, shear and combined loads, including any applicable dynamic or vibration effects.
The required capacity must be checked against valid manufacturer technical data and project design requirements.
Choose the required metric thread based on the approved fixture and anchor specification.
Do not interchange M6, M8, M10 and M12 simply because the anchors appear similar.
Obtain the correct drill diameter, hole depth, embedment, edge-distance and tightening requirements for the selected product.
Prepare a size-wise requirement with quantities, required documentation and delivery location.
This helps the supplier review the procurement requirement accurately.
Installation procedures depend on the specific anchor design.
The general process involves:
Tightening according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Inspecting the finished fixing.
Never use an assumed universal drilling size, tightening torque or embedment depth for all brass anchors.
Insufficient expansion, unsuitable substrate conditions and installation damage can compromise fixing performance.
For safety-critical installations, follow the project engineer's approved fastening design and inspection requirements.
Both products provide internally threaded fixing arrangements, but they are not automatically interchangeable.
| Feature | Brass expansion anchor | Steel drop-in anchor |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Brass | Steel |
| Connection | Internal metric thread | Internal metric thread |
| Expansion | Product-specific expansion mechanism | Product-specific setting mechanism |
| Common considerations | Compact threaded fixing, corrosion exposure | Concrete fixing and approved suspended-service applications |
| Installation check | Correct bolt engagement and expansion method | Correct setting tool and embedment |
| Selection basis | Base material and verified anchor performance | Base material and verified anchor performance |
The correct product depends on the installation design and performance requirements.

Electrical contractors, industrial buyers and project procurement teams should prepare their requirements by size and installation specification.
An enquiry with complete information can be reviewed more accurately than a request asking only for the price of "brass anchors."
| Requirement | Information to provide |
|---|---|
| Product | Brass Expansion Anchor |
| Thread size | M6, M8, M10 or M12 |
| Anchor dimensions | Approved drawing or specified size |
| Base material | Concrete, solid brick or other |
| Fixture application | Electrical, MEP, bracket or other |
| Load requirement | Engineer-approved load or specification |
| Quantity | Number of pieces for each size |
| Required documentation | As specified by the buyer |
| Packaging | Any project-specific requirement |
| Delivery location | City, state and PIN code |
| Drawings | Approved product or installation drawing, where available |
For larger procurement packages containing multiple anchor types, each product should be listed separately.

For bulk procurement, we encourage customers to provide verified product specifications, quantities and project details so the appropriate enquiry can be reviewed.
A brass expansion anchor is an internally threaded mechanical fastening insert that expands within a compatible drilled hole when installed according to its design. It provides a threaded fixing point for suitable fixtures.
Ferry International's product page lists M6, M8, M10 and M12 brass anchors with published D, H and L dimensions.
M6 and M8 refer to different nominal metric thread sizes. The products also have different listed body dimensions. Final selection depends on the application and approved technical data.
Brass expansion anchors may be suitable for specified concrete applications, but the particular anchor must be compatible with the concrete condition, fixture load and installation design.
Only where the specific anchor system is approved and properly designed for the intended load and installation conditions. Do not assume general brass anchors are suitable for critical overhead suspension.
Brass is corrosion-resistant in many environments, but its suitability depends on the alloy, exposure conditions and other parts of the fixing assembly.
Use the drill-hole specification provided for the exact anchor product. The internal thread size alone does not determine the required drilling diameter.
Ferry International is a brass anchor manufacturer based in Ghaziabad, India. Buyers can submit a bulk enquiry with size-wise quantities, dimensions and project requirements.
