1Shot Steel Stud Anchor
BLS INC.
05 12 00 Structural Steel Framing
C 10 Interior Construction
The 1SHOT Steel Stud Anchor delivers simple, reliable mounts in steel stud structures, eliminating the need for solid backing behind the drywall. The process is as easy as finding the centre of the stud, drilling a small pilot, and then installing the 1SHOT.
The 1SHOT has a unique shaft profile and thread configuration. Its patented fins fold up the stud inside the wall and form a tiny ring that delivers loadbearing capabilities, making strong and secure connections to the studs. It can be applied easily with or without power tools; there is no need for complex multi-part anchors.
Other features include its ability to accept smaller screws when hanging goods requiring smaller hardware (#8 wood/metal screws) threaded directly into the head of the anchor. The extended hilt and rounded top help clean up any debris left behind.
The versatile configuration and design of the 1SHOT allows for endless mounting capabilities into steel studs.
