Drop-In Anchors

Drop-In Anchors

Drop-In Anchors

This Anchor is a heavy duty anchor that is set by means of an internal expanding plug, and a setting tool. Once the hole is drilled, the anchor is placed in the hole, and set by the blow from a hammer directly on the setting tool. It can be used in cinder block or concrete and is ideal for hanging pipe, duct work, machinery etc.

Offered in carbon steel, zinc plated, and stainless steel.

Chemical Anchors

Chemical Anchors

Chemical Anchors

A chemical anchor, also known as a chemical bolt or resin anchor, is a fastening system used in construction and engineering to securely anchor and support structures to various surfaces like concrete, masonry, or stone. Chemical anchors are widely employed in applications where traditional mechanical anchors or fasteners may not provide sufficient strength or stability.

Here’s a brief overview of how a chemical anchor typically works:

  • Components: A chemical anchor system consists of two main components: the anchor bolt and the chemical adhesive. The anchor bolt can be made of materials like steel, stainless steel, or even composite materials, and it often has a threaded or ribbed design to enhance its grip. The chemical adhesive is a specially formulated resin or epoxy.
  • Installation: To install a chemical anchor, a hole is drilled into the base material (e.g., concrete), and the anchor bolt is inserted into the hole. The anchor bolt is often equipped with a mixing nozzle or capsule to facilitate the injection of the chemical adhesive.
  • Chemical Adhesive Injection: The chemical adhesive is dispensed into the drilled hole around the anchor bolt. The adhesive is typically in a two-component cartridge, where the resin and hardener are mixed as they are injected into the hole.
  • Curing: Once the chemical adhesive is injected, it begins to cure and harden. The curing time can vary depending on the specific adhesive used and environmental conditions. During the curing process, the adhesive forms a strong bond between the anchor bolt and the surrounding material.
  • Load-Bearing Capability: Once the chemical anchor is fully cured, it provides a strong and reliable connection between the anchor bolt and the base material. The anchor bolt can then be used to secure various structures and loads, such as columns, beams, handrails, machinery, and more.

Chemical anchors offer several advantages over traditional mechanical anchors, including:

  • High Load-Bearing Capacity: Chemical anchors can support heavy loads and are often used in critical structural applications.
  • Versatility: They can be used in various base materials, including concrete, masonry, and stone.
  • Reduced Stress on the Base Material: Unlike mechanical anchors that can cause stress concentrations, chemical anchors distribute loads more evenly.
  • Resistance to Corrosion: Stainless steel anchor bolts used in chemical anchor systems are corrosion-resistant.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Chemical anchors leave no visible bolts or fasteners on the surface, making them suitable for applications where aesthetics are important.

However, proper installation is crucial for the effectiveness and safety of chemical anchors. Improper installation can compromise their load-bearing capacity and structural integrity. Therefore, it is essential to follow manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices when using chemical anchors in construction and engineering projects.

Lag Shields

Lag Shields

Lag Shields

Lag shields are a type of anchor used for securing objects into masonry or concrete. They are a form of expansion anchor that works by expanding against the material in which they are installed, creating a tight and secure fit. Here’s how they work and are used:

  • Design and Material: Lag shields are typically made of metal, such as zinc or lead, and come in two pieces that fit together. They are designed with an external shell that expands as a lag screw (a large, heavy-duty wood screw) is driven into them.
  • Sizes and Types: They are available in various lengths and diameters to accommodate different sizes of lag screws and the weight of the objects being secured. There are short and long versions of lag shields, with the longer ones providing more grip in the installation material due to their increased surface area.
  • Installation Process:
    • A hole is drilled into the masonry or concrete at the desired location, matching the diameter of the lag shield.
    • The lag shield is inserted into the hole.
    • A lag screw is then driven into the lag shield. As the screw enters the lag shield, it forces the sides of the shield to expand outward. This expansion anchors the shield securely within the material.
  • Applications: Lag shields are used in various applications, including mounting frames, shelving, and other fixtures to concrete or masonry walls. They are particularly useful for heavy or load-bearing installations because they can provide strong and durable support.
  • Advantages: The main advantage of lag shields is their ability to securely anchor into materials that might otherwise be challenging to penetrate or attach to. They distribute the load over a larger area within the masonry or concrete, reducing the risk of the material cracking or breaking around the anchor.

However, it’s important to select the appropriate size and type of lag shield for the specific application, considering the weight of the object to be secured and the condition of the masonry or concrete. Improper selection or installation can lead to failure of the anchor to hold securely.

The Wedge Anchor is for heavy duty fastening applications where high pull out values in concrete are needed. The anchor and the hole diameter are the same, simplifying the anchor installation by placing the anchor through the existing hole in the material to be fastened. Used in fastening sheet metal, steel or aluminum angles, or wood to concrete. Due to its high resistance to vibratory loads, this anchor is ideal for installing machinery, hand rails, dock bumpers, storage racks, etc.
