Abstract
An anchoring assembly for a refractory material for a protected surface includes a V-anchor and an eye-mount. The eye-mount mounts to the protected surface, the V-anchor mounts to the eye-mount, and the refractory material is applied and anchored to the V-anchor. The eye-mount includes a through-hole, and a saddle channel in communication with the through-hole, that are configured to receive and seat the V-anchor through the through-hole and into the saddle channel with a snap-fit connection. In some embodiments, the V-anchor is seated with a tight snap-fit connection that holds the V-anchor in an upright use position, and in other embodiments the V-anchor includes a spacer that provides the tight snap-fit connection and that is removable in-situ after application of the refractory material to convert the tight snap-fit connection to a floating snap-fit connection.
