Wedge Type Anchor Fastener – Product Details

JMIKS Fasteners supplies wedge type anchor fasteners (through bolts) for heavy-duty fixing to concrete, in mild steel and stainless steel. The anchor expands when the nut is tightened and gives a strong, reliable hold.

How It Works

Through bolt for push-through installation.
The anchor is hammered into the drilled hole up to its length, minus the height of the nut.
When the nut is tightened, the tapered end of the bolt is pulled into the wedge clip and expands it.
The wedge clip grips the wall of the hole for a reliable anchorage.

Why Choose a Wedge Anchor

  • High holding power in solid concrete
  • Push-through installation: drill through the fixture and set the anchor in one step
  • The projecting stud and nut make inspection easy
  • Mild steel for dry indoor areas, stainless steel for outdoor and damp areas

Applications

  • Machinery and equipment bases
  • Structural steel brackets and base plates
  • Racking, handrails and barriers
  • Cable trays and heavy pipe supports

How to Install a Wedge Anchor

  • Drill: drill a hole of the anchor diameter through the fixture into solid concrete, a little deeper than the embedment depth.
  • Clean: blow or brush the dust out of the hole.
  • Insert: with the washer and nut on, tap the anchor through the fixture until the washer sits on it.
  • Tighten: turn the nut to the recommended torque. This pulls the cone into the clip and sets the anchor.

Wedge Anchor FAQs

How deep should I drill for a wedge anchor?

Drill deeper than the minimum embedment for the anchor size, so there is room for dust and the bolt end. Always follow the installation data for the size you use.

Can wedge anchors be used in brick or block walls?

No. Wedge anchors need solid concrete. For brick and stone, use a sleeve anchor or a rawl bolt.

What is the difference between a wedge anchor and a ring anchor bolt?

They work in the same way. A single ring anchor bolt has one expansion ring, and a double ring anchor bolt has two rings for extra grip.
