Description

Product Overview

Simpson Strong-Tie brings decades of engineering expertise to the construction industry, and the STB2-62600 Strong-Bolt 2 wedge anchor exemplifies that legacy. Crafted from high‑grade carbon steel and finished with a durable zinc plating, this anchor is designed to resist corrosion while delivering the tensile strength required for demanding concrete applications. Measuring 5/8 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, each anchor offers a robust connection point that can handle both static loads and the dynamic forces encountered during seismic events. The hexagonal head provides a reliable grip for torque‑controlled installation, and the chamfered top design eliminates the risk of mushrooming, ensuring a clean, flush finish after the anchor is set. Packaged in a convenient 20‑piece case, the product is ready for immediate deployment on job sites ranging from small residential remodels to large‑scale commercial builds.

FAQ

What size anchor should I use for a 1‑inch diameter bolt?

The STB2‑62600 is sized at 5/8 inch diameter, which is suitable for most 1‑inch diameter bolts when used with a proper embedment depth. Always verify the required embedment length based on load calculations and local code requirements.

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

While the wedge anchor is optimized for concrete, it can also be installed in high‑strength masonry when a proper drill hole and embedment depth are provided. For softer masonry, consider a different fastener type that is specifically rated for that material.

Are the anchors compatible with stainless‑steel hardware?

Yes, the zinc‑plated finish will not adversely affect stainless‑steel hardware. However, for highly corrosive environments, a stainless‑steel anchor may be preferred to match the hardware material.

How do I ensure proper installation torque?

Use a calibrated torque wrench set to the manufacturer‑specified torque value, typically found in the product’s installation guide. Applying the correct torque ensures the anchor expands fully and achieves its rated load capacity.

What is the warranty coverage for these anchors?

Simpson Strong‑Tie offers a limited warranty that covers material defects and performance issues when the anchors are installed according to the provided guidelines. Contact our customer service team for detailed warranty terms.
