What is a Refractory Anchor?
Refractory Anchors are manufactured Ceramic, Inconel, stainless steel, and other alloy fasteners that anchor a variety of high temperature linings, blankets, boards, and modules. Its utility is to secure or fasten those materials to line the inside of process equipment and furnaces.

After the blanket insulation is added ontop of the secured Insul Twist, it meets the CupLock which is pressed in the insulation and twisted to lock in place to protect the inconel or stainless steel fastener from the heat utilizing its insulation properties. See the Cuplock Utility Illustration for a visual reprisentation.
