3/8 in x 2 in Wedge Anchor

Description

⅜” x 2″ Wedge Anchor 3/8″ x 2″ Wedge Anchor – Reliable Tensile Strength for Shallow Concrete Fastening The 3/8″ x 2″ Wedge Anchor is a reliable, high-performance structural fastener designed for load-bearing applications in solid concrete, particularly where minimal drilling depth is required. The size (3/8″ diameter and 2″ length) ensures strong, reliable holding power while accommodating thinner slabs or restricted drilling areas. The core of its holding power lies in the wedge expansion mechanism : when the hex nut is tightened, the bolt pulls the tapered wedge clip up, forcing it to expand against the concrete wall of the pre-drilled hole. This creates a powerful, fixed anchor point. Constructed from durable zinc-plated steel, the anchor resists corrosion, providing a reliable, long-lasting solution for commercial and industrial applications. Key Benefits Reliable Load Capacity: 3/8″ diameter provides dependable tensile and shear strength for medium-heavy applications. Shallow Embedment: Short 2″ length is ideal for concrete slabs where deep drilling is restricted or not required. Simple Through-Bolt Design: Allows the fixture to be installed directly over the anchor before tightening. Corrosion Resistance: Zinc-plated steel finish protects against rust and ensures long service life. Immediate Full Load: Achieves full specified load capacity immediately upon tightening (does not require curing time like chemical anchors). Technical Specifications Product Type: Wedge Anchor / Through Bolt Anchor Size: 3/8 inch Diameter x 2 inches Length Material: Steel (Zinc Plated Finish) Mechanism: Wedge Expansion (Sleeve/Clip Type) End Type: Threaded with Hex Nut and Washer Application: Concrete, Solid Masonry, Medium-Heavy Load Grade: Industrial/Commercial Perfect For Anchoring support columns, ledger boards, and base plates to concrete. Securing machinery, control panels, and heavy shelving units. Installing handrails, barriers, and racking where medium-heavy loads are expected. Commercial and residential construction requiring solid anchoring. Application Instructions Drilling: Drill a hole (same diameter as the anchor, 3/8″) into the concrete to the required depth using a hammer drill. Cleaning: Clean the hole thoroughly of all dust and debris. Installation: Drive the anchor through the fixture (pre-drilled hole) and fully into the concrete hole. Tightening: Turn the hex nut with a wrench. This pulls the bolt up, setting the wedge and expanding the sleeve securely inside the concrete. Checking: Tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. Pro Tips CRITICAL: Use a hammer drill and a correct diameter carbide bit for a precise hole. The holding power depends on the correct hole size. Always clean the drilled hole thoroughly (brush and vacuum) to prevent concrete dust from inhibiting the wedge expansion. Do not use in soft materials like block or hollow brick unless specifically rated for those substrates. Ensure the anchor is embedded to the recommended depth for full load capacity.
