Technical Features
- Non-bottom bearing design: The anchor does not rely on contact with the bottom of the drilled hole, allowing for flexible embedment depth and consistent installation in varied substrate thicknesses.
- 1-piece clip construction: A single integrated clip ensures uniform holding capacity across the anchor, reducing variability in performance between individual fasteners.
- Tension-activated holding capacity: Holding strength increases as tension load is applied, making the anchor self-reinforcing under load conditions typical of structural fastening.
- Mechanically galvanized carbon steel: The mechanical galvanization process provides a uniform zinc coating on the carbon steel body, offering corrosion resistance suitable for treated-lumber contact and moderate exposure environments.
- Torque-set installation: Threaded studs are set by tightening the nut to a specified torque value, enabling repeatable and verifiable installation without specialized tooling beyond a torque wrench.
- Code-listed for grout-filled masonry: The Wedge-All carries a code listing specifically for grout-filled concrete masonry unit (CMU) applications, supporting use in inspected and permitted construction projects.
Applications
- Anchoring structural elements, equipment, and fixtures into solid concrete slabs, walls, and footings.
- Fastening into grout-filled concrete masonry units (CMU) where code-listed performance is required.
- General construction and contractor use where a standard 1/2 in. wedge anchor with corrosion-resistant coating is specified.
- Applications requiring compliance with building codes for masonry anchorage, supported by the anchor’s listed status.
