Wedge Anchor

Wedge Anchor bolts are very common anchor bolts due to several factors. They are corrosion-resistant, easy to install, and are one of the strongest concrete anchors available. Wedge anchors are named after the wedges that open and expand at their base when it is tightened.

Male wedge anchors consist of two pieces. One piece is threaded at the top end while the other end consists of a mechanism that includes a clip and wedges. The clip and wedges expand between the stud and the walls of the concrete. Wedge anchors are a great choice when it comes to heavy load or heavy shear applications.
