Wedge Anchors, also known as Expansion Anchors, are characterized by having an expansion clip. Application of torque to the anchor, expands the clip on the cone shaped bolt, resulting in pressure on the inner side of the hole. This leads to necessary friction between the expansion clip & the base material, completing the installation.
Suitable For
- Concrete
- Dense Natural Stone
Key Features
- Affordable and Easy installation
- Dual embossments on each clip segment: Enables clip to undercut into the concrete thereby increasing follow-up expansion should a crack occur.
- Spring-steel clip on anchors:In addition to superior fatigue resistance, a spring-steel clip offers "memory" that contributes to the anchor's performance if the hole increases in size because of a crack.
- High Resistance Values
Critical Installation Recommendations
- Ensure correct expansion of the anchor by applying recommended torque values
- Maintain cleanliness of the hole
- Hammer in the bolt only after aligning the nut with the taper end section on the head of the anchor body to prevent any thread damage
- As a rule of thumb, we recommend a minimum standard of ten (10) anchor diameters for spacing between anchors and five (5) anchor diameters from an unsupported edge.
