Product Description
The Strong-Bolt is a Wedge Anchor specifically designed for optimum performance in cracked concrete; a new requirement that the 2003 IBC places on post-installed anchors. Rigorously tested according to the newest industy wide criteria, the Strong-Bolt is proven to offer increased reliability in the most adverse conditions, including proper functioning in cracked concrete under static and seismic loading. The proprietary tri-segmented clip has dual undercutting embossments on each segment which enable secondary or "follow-up" expansion if a crack forms and intersects the anchor location. This significantly increases the ability of the Strong-Bolt to carry load if the hole opened slightly due to a crack. The Strong-Bolt sets like a standard wedge anchor and is available in sizes from 1/2 x 3 3/4 thru 3/4 x 10". Drill Diameter is the same as Anchor Diameter. For matched tolerance drill bits and Concrete Drilling Machines see Carbide Bits and Power Tool Sections.
General Applications and Uses
Structural Anchorage, Column Base Plates, Machinery Anchorage and Lighting Standards.
Features and Benefits
Heavy-Duty anchor. Installs like a standard Wedge Anchor yet perfoms very differently. These performance differences allow it to perform in cracked concrete and meet the requirements of the new building code. No need for hole spotting.
