M10 X 80 White Zinc Plated Cold Forged Full Thead Bolt Wedge Anchor

1. Product Description

Installers must select each wedge anchor carefully based on a number of factors. They must consider the load the anchor will need to support, as well as the composition and condition of the surface where it will be installed. Crumbling concrete and older walls, for example, require a more heavy-duty wedge anchor than new walls. Everything from the length, thickness, and material of the anchor bolt can impact the security of the installation. While standard steel works in most applications, galvanized or stainless steel may be required in areas subject to frequent moisture or chemical exposure.

Before installing a wedge anchor, contractors must drill a hole that's slightly longer than the anchor itself. This requires a hammer drill or other tool designed for drilling masonry. The stone or concrete surface must be completely clean and free of debris prior to installation. This includes removing any loose concrete and vacuuming or blowing away dust.
Next, the entire unit must be inserted into the pre-drilled hole and pounded in place using a hammer or mallet. Once the face of the wedge anchor sits flush with the surrounding surface, installers use a drill or screwdriver to turn the base of the anchor. As the base turns and draws up inside the sleeve, the walls of the sleeve wedge themselves against the walls of the hole. Heavy-duty applications require installers to use a torque wrench to ensure that the anchor has been installed correctly, and that sufficient force has been applied to ensure the finished project will be safe

3. Application

The minimum length of wedge anchor to be used for any type of application is determined by adding the thickness of the material being fastened to the minimum embedment for the diameter of wedge anchor being used, plus adding space for the nut and washer. The space for the nut and washer is usually equal to the size of the diameter of the wedge anchor being installed.
Suitable for concrete and dense natural stone, metal constructions, metal profiles, base plate, a support plate, brackets, railings, windows, walls, machines, girders, beams, brackets, and so on.
