Wedge Anchors

The Wedge Anchor is used for heavy duty fastening applications where high pullout values are required. The anchor and the hole diameter are the same. The advanced design of the collar reduces the likelihood of the anchor "spinning". Proper installation requires cleaning out the hole. Install using a torque wrench set to the suggested level as provided in the instruction sheet.
The wedge is used in a wide variety of structural applications, including fastening sheet metal, steel, aluminum angles or wood to concrete. Pipe-hanging, tilt-ups, bridges, elevator equipment, conveyors and highway construction frequently require the wedge type anchor. The Wedge Anchor is ideal for installing machinery, hand rails, dock bumpers & storage racks, etc. Wedge anchors are sold unassembled with the appropriate nuts and washers.

1. Always wear safety glasses.
2. Follow the drill manufacturer's safety instructions.
3. Use only solid carbide-tipped bits meeting the ANSI B94-12 tip diameter.
4. Drill the hole perpendicular to the work surface. To assure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble.
5. Drill the hole as deep as the full length of the anchor, but not closer than two anchor diameters to the bottom (opposite surface of the concrete).
6. Clean the hole using compressed air and a wire brush. A clean hole is necessary for proper performance.

7. Assemble the washer and nut on the anchor so the nut is recessed slightly below the head of the anchor.
8. Tap the anchor through the fixture (must be 1/8" larger than diameter of the anchor) and into the hole making sure the nut and washer rest solidly against the fixture or tap the anchor into the hole and then place bracket over the anchor.
9. Tighten the nut with a torque wrench to the proper torque.
10. If spinning occurs, pull up on the anchor using the claw end of a hammer and then torque.
