For light to medium-duty fastening/anchoring to concrete, brick or block base material. Concrete sleeve anchors are available in zinc plated and stainless steel. Sleeve anchors are available in six diameters in the hex nut – 1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”and 3/4”. The 1/4”, 5/16” and 3/8” also come in a flat, countersunk head. The 1/4”diameter is also available in a round head. The anchor diameter equals the hole diameter
Sleeve anchors work by inserting them into a hole drilled into concrete. Turning the nut pulls the working end of the sleeve anchor up through the sleeve, expanding and anchoring itself securely in the concrete, brick or block.
Installation Instructions for the Concrete Sleeve Anchor
Installing concrete sleeve anchors can be completed in six easy steps. Sleeve anchors can be used in concrete, brick and block base material, and are best suited for light to heavy duty fastening purposes. Sleeve anchors are available in four head styles – hex, flat, acorn and round – and are available in both zinc plated and stainless steel, making them a good choice for many construction applications. Simple step-by-step installation instructions for the sleeve anchor are as follows:
Installation steps:
- Using a hammer drill and carbide tipped drill bit, drill a hole the same diameter as the anchor diameter, and at least 1/2″ to 1” deeper than the expected embedment.
- Clean out the hole of all debris.
- Set the nut flush with the top of the sleeve anchor.
- Insert the sleeve anchor through the fixture into the hole in the base material until the washer and nut is tight against the fixture.
- Turn the nut until finger tight.
- Use a wrench to set the anchor by turning the nut three to four full turns
