Description
A wedge anchor fastener is a type of anchor that is used to securely attach objects to concrete or masonry surfaces. It consists of a metal sleeve or tube with a tapered end, a threaded bolt, and a nut.
To install a wedge anchor fastener, a hole is drilled into the concrete or masonry surface of the desired location. The anchor is then inserted into the hole, with the tapered end facing outward. As the nut is tightened, the tapered end of the anchor expands and wedges itself securely into the hole. This provides a strong and reliable connection between the object being attached and the surface it is being attached to.
Wedge anchor fasteners are commonly used in construction, especially for attaching items such as structural steel, machinery, equipment, and signage to concrete or masonry surfaces. They are designed to provide a high level of pull-out strength and resistance to vibration, making them suitable for applications where strong and long-lasting attachment is needed.
