Anchor [1]

With regard to a fuel dispenser [2], the term anchor usually means to use bolts to attach a component to a rigid base so that it cannot move.

For example: Dispenser frames are anchored to a pump island [3] or dispenser mounting box so that the dispenser will not tip over or move during normal operations. Emergency shutoff valves [4] and vapor shear valve [5]s are anchored to the pump island [3] so that they will function properly.
