Overview

The ABB Installation Products 53-308 is a lead expansion anchor designed for secure fastening in concrete, masonry, and block applications. This anchor features a 1/4-20 screw thread size, ensuring compatibility with standard fasteners. The required hole depth of 7/8 inches and drill size of 1/2 inch provide precise installation parameters for reliable load-bearing performance. Constructed from lead, this expansion anchor delivers consistent expansion and grip within the substrate, minimizing the risk of loosening under vibration or dynamic loads. Typical applications include securing electrical panels, conduit supports, HVAC ductwork, and light structural attachments where a non-threaded, expansion-type anchor is preferred. The lead material offers corrosion resistance in indoor environments, making it suitable for use in dry or mildly corrosive conditions. Installation requires drilling the specified hole size, inserting the anchor, and tightening the screw to expand the lead sleeve against the hole walls. This anchor is not intended for overhead or heavy structural loads without engineering verification. Always confirm substrate conditions and load requirements before selection.
