FAQ

What size drill hole is required for this wedge anchor?

The anchor is designed for a 0.88‑inch (22 mm) diameter hole. Use a hammer drill with a carbide‑tipped bit to achieve the correct size and depth, then clean the hole of dust before installation.

Can these anchors be used in masonry as well as concrete?

While the anchor is optimized for concrete, it can also be used in solid masonry when the substrate meets the required compressive strength. Always verify the substrate’s suitability and follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.

How do I determine the correct embedment depth?

For a 10‑inch anchor, the recommended embedment depth is 7‑8 inches, leaving sufficient thread engagement to achieve the rated shear capacity. Adjust depth based on load requirements and consult the technical data sheet for specific calculations.

Is a special tool required to install the wedge anchor?

No special tools are needed beyond a standard hammer drill, a wrench or socket to tighten the hex head, and a hammer to set the wedge. The installation process is straightforward and can be completed by trained personnel familiar with concrete anchoring methods.
