Technical Features
- Non-bottom bearing design: The anchor does not rely on contact with the bottom of the drilled hole, reducing installation variability and allowing for flexible embedment depth selection.
- One-piece clip construction: A single integrated clip ensures uniform expansion around the anchor body, delivering consistent holding capacity from anchor to anchor throughout the box.
- Tension-activated expansion: Holding capacity increases as tension load is applied, meaning the anchor self-reinforces under the working loads it is subjected to in service.
- Wedge-style expansion mechanism: Mechanical expansion against the concrete borehole wall provides positive mechanical interlock without adhesives or setting compounds.
- 25-count box quantity: Packaged in jobsite quantities to support efficient installation on larger concrete anchoring projects without repeated reordering.
Applications
- Anchoring structural and non-structural elements to solid concrete slabs, walls, and foundations.
- Fastening equipment bases, hangers, and brackets into grout-filled concrete masonry units (CMU).
- General construction and contractor use where a non-adhesive, mechanically expanding concrete anchor is specified.
