Timco ceiling anchors zinc are a hammer-set fixing designed for light duty overhead applications. Each anchor is pressed home with a hammer, making them quick to install in concrete and masonry ceilings without the need for bolts, resins or setting tools. They are a sensible choice when you need to run a large number of fixings fast and do not want to be reaching above your head any longer than necessary.
Made from steel with a zinc finish, these anchors resist the kind of surface corrosion you would expect in damp or humid environments, such as plant rooms, car parks, or below-ground areas. The zinc coating also holds up reasonably well in unheated or ventilated spaces where moisture is a factor without being a constant problem.
Where Timco Ceiling Anchors Are Used
The most common application is suspending lightweight services from concrete soffits. Electrical conduit, pipe clips, cable tray hangers, and lightweight ductwork brackets all fall within the capability of these anchors when used correctly and at appropriate centres. They are equally useful for fixing timber battens or plastic channel to masonry walls where a simple mechanical fix is preferred over adhesive or resin.
The 6.0mm diameter is consistent across both sizes available. The 40mm version suits thinner concrete or blockwork where embedment depth is limited, while the 65mm option gives a deeper bite into the substrate and is better suited to heavier base materials or where additional holding strength is needed.
Hammer-Set Installation
There is no torquing, no chemical cartridge, and no waiting around. The anchor locates in the pre-drilled hole and sets when the pin is driven home. This makes them well suited to repetitive fixing tasks where pace matters. A box of 100 covers a fair stretch of first fix services installation without the need to keep ordering small quantities.
These ceiling anchors zinc fixings are stocked in both 40mm and 65mm lengths, so you can pick the right depth for the substrate you are working with.
Pro Tip: Always drill the hole to the correct diameter and clear the dust out before setting the anchor, as a loose or debris-filled hole will reduce holding strength considerably in overhead applications where gravity is already working against you.
Timco ceiling anchors are used primarily by electricians, plumbers, and mechanical services installers fixing cable tray, conduit brackets, pipe clips, and ductwork hangers to concrete and masonry soffits. They are also used by joiners and dryliners for attaching timber battens or backing materials to overhead masonry. On site, they turn up wherever a clean, repeatable hammer-set fix is needed in a high-volume first fix situation.

Key Specifications
Diameter: 6.0mm
Lengths available: 40mm and 65mm
Material: Steel with zinc finish
Setting method: Hammer-set
Pack size: 100 anchors
Not suitable for: Not suitable for fixing into soft or aerated blockwork, soft brick, or any lightweight masonry where the substrate cannot provide adequate mechanical resistance. Not rated for structural or heavy duty load-bearing overhead applications.
Drill a clean hole to 6.0mm diameter at the required depth for the anchor length being used. Clear dust from the hole thoroughly before inserting the anchor. Position the fitting or bracket, insert the anchor through it and into the hole, then drive the pin home with a hammer until the anchor is fully set and flush.

Drill a 6.0mm diameter hole to the correct depth for the anchor length chosen
Clear all drilling dust from the hole using a blow pump or brush
Offer up the bracket or fitting to the fixing position
Insert the ceiling anchor through the bracket hole and into the drilled hole
Strike the anchor pin with a hammer to set the anchor and lock the fixing in place
What drill size do I need for these ceiling anchors?
You need a 6.0mm masonry drill bit for both the 40mm and 65mm versions. Make sure the hole is clean and free of dust before setting the anchor, as debris in the hole can prevent the anchor from seating correctly.
What is the difference between the 40mm and 65mm lengths?
The 40mm anchor is suited to thinner concrete or blockwork where embedment depth is limited. The 65mm version provides a deeper embedment and is the better choice where you need more holding strength or where the substrate is particularly hard or dense.
Are these anchors suitable for damp or humid environments?
The zinc finish gives reasonable protection against surface corrosion in damp or humid conditions, such as plant rooms, car parks, or below-ground service areas. They are not intended for permanently wet or submerged conditions, where a stainless steel fixing would be more appropriate.
Timco ceiling anchors are manufactured from steel with a zinc coating to provide basic corrosion resistance. The hammer-set design uses a driven pin mechanism that expands or locks the anchor body within the drilled hole on impact, creating a mechanical fixing without the need for threads, torque tools, or chemical adhesives. Available in 6.0 x 40mm and 6.0 x 65mm, both sizes are suitable for light duty overhead fixing in concrete and masonry substrates.
