Threaded Inserts Design Guide

The Ancon Threaded Inserts Design Guide is now available to download on our website.

Cast-in threaded inserts provide a metric thread fixing point in precast concrete panels and are used for two distinct applications.

Threaded inserts are used in the attachment of permanent structural fixtures as well as in the attachment of temporary braces and strongbacks.

Ancon supplies a range of reliable threaded inserts which are suitable for a wide range of concrete connections. They are available in thread sizes from M12 to M24 and with Unicoil threads UC16 in either zinc plated and hot dip galvanized mild steel and grade 316 stainless steel.

The Centenary Library, Brisbane

Ancon designed and manufactured the stainless steel support system for the intricate brick façade of the Centenary Library, at the heart of the Anglican Church Grammar School.

This ambitious project, designed by Brand + Slater Architects, is a key part of the school’s master plan to provide a technology-rich, world-class centre for its 1,800 students. Comprising four levels, the library features an extensive range of learning spaces including a 250 seat lecture theatre, teaching and meeting rooms, as well as over 80 individual learning areas.

Ancon MDC and CFA continuous shelf angle support systems carry the intricate brick façade, consisting of large archways and projecting brickwork. As part of Ancon's free design service, plans were produced illustrating the location and reference of all the fixings required.
