Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, now offers its Strong-Bolt® 2 wedge anchor in fully assembled packaging. It comes with the stud, nut and washer preassembled in one convenient package, saving installers time and eliminating lost pieces.
Code listed for cracked and uncracked concrete, and masonry applications, the Strong-Bolt 2 wedge-type expansion anchor is an optimal choice for high performance — even in seismic and high-wind conditions. It features dual undercutting embossments on each clip segment to enable secondary expansion should a crack form and intersect the anchor location, significantly increasing the ability of Strong-Bolt 2 to carry the load if the hole expands.
The wedge anchor has a chamfered top to prevent mushrooming during installation and is suitable for horizontal, vertical and overhead applications.
“The Strong-Bolt 2 has been a trusted, go-to anchor for high-performance concrete construction for years,” said Dominic Savoldelli, product manager in Mechanical Anchors for Simpson Strong-Tie. “Now this wedge anchor brings even more value to installers with a fully assembled design that increases efficiency on the jobsite.”
The Strong-Bolt 2 anchor is available in carbon steel with a zinc-plated or mechanically galvanized finish, or in type 304 and type 316 stainless steel. It comes in standard (ANSI) fractional sizes to fit standard fixtures and installs with common drill bit and tool sizes.
