| Type: | Wedge Anchor |
| Definition: | Wedge anchors are a unique type of concrete anchors, designed to anchor objects into concrete applications. |
| Description: | A wedge anchor is a mechanical type expansion anchor that consists of four parts: the threaded anchor body, the expansion clip, a nut, and a washer. These anchors provide the highest and most consistent holding values of any mechanical type expansion anchor. Concrete Wedge Anchors are installed into a pre-drilled hole using the appropriate Concrete Drill Bit, where the wedge is expanded by tightening the nut. Once installed, wedge anchors are not removable after the anchor has expanded. |
| Application: | Wedge anchors are a non-bottom bearing anchor for use in solid concrete or grout-filled concrete. They come in a variety of diameters and lengths, with material options including Zinc Wedge Anchors, Galvanized Steel Wedge Anchors, and two types of Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors - Type 304 Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors and Type 316 Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors. The wedge anchor, drop-in anchor and concrete strike anchor can only be used in solid concrete and have the highest & most consistent holding values in concrete. Concrete sleeve anchors can be used in concrete, brick or block but their holding values are less in terms of shear and pullout values. |
| Others: | Wedge Anchors are also called by other names such as stud anchors, concrete stud anchors, concrete bolts and wedge bolts. |
