Wedge anchors also known as concrete wedge anchors, are made of zinc plated carbon steel, hot-dipped galvanized carbon steel, 303 stainless steel, and 316 stainless steel. This anchor is one kind of mechanical expansion anchor that can be divided to four parts: the threaded anchor body, the expansion clip, a nut, and a washer. Just from the outsides of this anchor we can classify it into three styles: fully threaded, partial threaded and the full-bodied wedge anchor. We use wedge anchors to fasten only in solid concrete. Let's have a look at wedge anchors.

A wedge anchor is used to secure all kinds of things with solid concrete only.

This is a yellow zinc plated wedge anchor, and it's used to fasten things.

The partial threaded wedge anchor made of stainless steel can prevent corrosion.

The full-bodied wedge anchor has many applications. It can be used for fastening with solid concrete.

Specification:

• Materials: zinc plated carbon steel, hot-dipped galvanized carbon steel, 303 stainless steel, and 316 stainless steel.
• Wedge anchor size and package see the bottom of the page:
  • Zinc plated wedge anchor size and package.
  • Hot-dipped galvanized wedge anchor size and package.
  • 303 stainless wedge anchor size and package.
  • 316 stainless wedge anchor size and package.

Features:

• Wedge anchors have many diameters and lengths, as a result, we can use the anchor in many situations.
• Wedge anchors are suitable in light to heavy-duty.
• Wedge anchors are easy to use, and can guarantee the safety.
• Wedge anchors possess corrosion resistance because of standard zinc plated.

Installation:

• Use a hammer drill and a correctly sized carbide tipped bit to drill a hole, it must be at least 1/2 deeper than the wedge anchor part embedded, the hole and the wedge anchor is the same size.
• Clear out all the debris in the hole.
• Put the nut and washer on the wedge anchor to protect the threads
• Use a hammer to hit the anchor until the threads are totally under the surface of the base material
• Tighten the nut until it's firm enough.

Installation tips

• Use with solid concrete only. Not for use with any other masonry materials.
• Wedge anchors and holes are of the same size, for example:1/2" anchor requires a 1/2" hole
• Packaged nuts and washers together with wedge anchor
• Hole depth is not be limited.
• Tighten two to three full turns on the anchor.
• Generally, it's ten diameters long between two anchors.
• Wedge anchors can't be removed unless we damage the concrete or cut the anchor.

The first step to install an anchor is to drill a hole with a hammer and a carbide tipped bit.

After we have inserted the anchor in the hole, we should put the nut and the washer.

When the threads are totally under the surface of the base material, tighten the nut until it's firm enough.

Application:
Wedge anchors have many concrete applications, such as: light post, water pipe, windows, light fixture, park bench, light post.

Wedge anchors can be used to fasten light post.

The wedge anchor can be used in park bench to fasten the plank body and the iron legs.
