WEDGE ANCHORS

A wedge anchor is a type of expansion anchor that’s typically used to permanently anchor steel directly to solid concrete. It is assembled with a three-segment expansion clip and supplied complete with nut and washer. Expansion clip ensures uniform holding capacity that increases as tension is applied. The threaded stud version is available in six diameters and multiple lengths. Threaded studs are set by tightening the nut. Wedge anchors are best suited to static applications. If a mechanical anchor fails, it is usually in the form of pulling out a wedge of concrete, and for this reason, proper design looks at the depth of embedment and ensures that the bolts are not spaced too closely.
