The anchor is made from Carbon Steel, and is Zinc Plated. This anchor is designed for use in Concrete, Block, and Brick.
Environment
The anchor is designed for use in a Dry environment.
Head Style
The anchor is a Flat Countersunk head and is designed to prevent the head from protruding above the surface of the item being attached.
Hole Diameter/Bit Diameter
The anchor requires a 1/4" hole to be drilled in the base material (Concrete, Block, and Brick). The hole should be drilled with carbide tipped bit that meets ANSI standards and used in a hammer drill.
Diameter of Anchor
The diameter of the anchor is 1/4".
Length Anchor
The length of the anchor is 2"
Minimum Embedment
The minimum anchor embedment into the concrete is 1". Therefore, the anchor must be installed so that a minimum of 1" of the anchor is embedded into the concrete.
Maximum Fixture Thickness
The maximum fixture thickness or the maximum thickness of the material being fastened for a anchor is 1". This will ensure that the minimum embedment of 1" will be met.
Fixture Hole Diameter
The hole in the fixture or material being fastened must be larger than the designated diameter of the anchor. The 1/4" diameter anchor requires the hole in the fixture to be 5/16".
Spacing between Anchors
Each anchor must be spaced a minimum distance of 2-1/2" from each other when measured center to center.
Edge Distance
It is very important not to install the anchor any closer than 1-1/4" from an unsupported edge of the concrete.

I will have used approximately 500 of these to install 1 x 4 (pt) furring strips on my cement block home. They work pretty good. Where the blocks are solid (filled), I can use a 1/4" hammer drill bit, and sleeve anchors can be hammered in and tighten down perfectly. However, when the blocks are hollow (no cement filling), I have to use a 3/16" hammer drill bit very gently so as to not blow out the backwall of the block. This does make it harder to get the sleeve anchor in the wall, but if you use a larger bit, I found that they would simply turn inside the block and never flare out. It takes some trial and error, and every now and then, I had to install multiple anchors. Sometimes, I had to start flaring the anchor before fully sinking into the block, and gradually flare and work the anchor into the block cavity. This is not a problem of the sleeve anchor itself, although, I wish a smaller size was available. 2" is the smallest of this flat-head sleeve anchor that I have found anywhere. Overall great product for this application, but they require trial & error in cinderblock installation.
