Gripple Cracked Concrete Ring Anchor | ETA-Approved, 6 mm Hammer-Set
A hammer-set ring anchor for suspending Gripple wire rope hangers from concrete soffits. It is approved under ETA-06/0175 for cracked and non-cracked concrete from C12/15 to C50/60, for multiple fixings in non-structural applications, and carries an R120 fire resistance rating. Drill a 6 mm hole, drive the anchor in with a few hammer blows and attach the wire - the anchor expands automatically under load.

Why use the Gripple Cracked Concrete Ring Anchor?
-
Approved for cracked concrete: ETA-06/0175 covers cracked and non-cracked concrete C12/15 to C50/60, so it can be used where the specification calls for an approved anchor in the tension zone of a slab.
-
Fire resistance R120: suitable for installations where the fixing has to keep its function in a fire.
-
Hammer-set, no extra steps: no torque wrench and no setting tool - a few hammer blows set the anchor, and it expands under load.
-
Shallow fixing: a 35 mm deep hole, reduced edge distance and reduced spacing make it practical in thin slabs and tight layouts.
Where is the Gripple Cracked Concrete Ring Anchor used?
For fixing wire rope suspensions into concrete soffits and slabs: electrical containment and cable tray, HVAC ductwork, pipework and lighting. Gripple uses the same ring anchor as the end fixing on its ready-made No.1 and No.2 hanger kits.
How to use?
- Drill a 6 mm diameter hole, at least 35 mm deep. Keep at least 50 mm from the slab edge; the concrete must be at least 80 mm thick.
- Drive the anchor into the hole with a hammer.
- Attach the wire rope suspension.
You need a drill for concrete with a 6 mm masonry bit and a hammer.
🔗 Uncracked concrete only?Where cracked-concrete approval is not required, the
Gripple Concrete Ceiling Anchor is a lower-cost alternative for No.1 and No.2 hangers.

📢 Technical & Safety Disclaimer:
Installation values are taken from the Gripple datasheet (PI-RINGANCHOR-ENG-EU), which gives a maximum load of 150 kg in C20/25 to C50/60 concrete. The 55 kg safe working load shown above is the rating Gripple gives its ring anchor hanger kits (3:1) and is the value we recommend designing to. The load a fixing can take depends on the concrete; the strength of the base material is the installer's responsibility. The safe working load of the complete suspension is set by its lowest-rated component - anchor, hanger or wire rope. ETA-06/0175 covers multiple fixings in non-structural applications. If in doubt about the base material, consult Gripple before installation.
