    Removable Taper-Bolt Anchors for Concrete

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Removable Taper-Bolt Anchors for Concrete.
    Remove the bolt to adjust, move, or replace components. Manufactured in the U.S. with Grade 5 steel, these anchors have over twice the shear strength of our wedge anchors, making them strong enough to secure highway barriers and train tracks. When you tighten them, the tapered bolt expands the nut, spreading the gripping force along its entire length. This creates the higher strength than wedge anchors, where the grip is focused at the wedge. These anchors are more forgiving of variations in hole precision than wedge anchors and require more torque to install. The increased torque puts stress on your base material, so don't use them near edges, corners, or in cracked surfaces.
    To install, thread the nut onto the tapered bolt. Drive the anchor through your component into a drilled hole. Then, turn the bolt to expand the nut for a tight hold. You can repeatedly use the bolt in the same hole. To use the bolt in a new hole, a replacement expander nut (sold separately) is required.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—The most common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.

    Bolt-Style Sleeve Anchors for Block and Brick

    Remove the bolt so the anchor is flush with your walls and floors to slide components past these anchors, making it easier to install or make adjustments. They’re best for door frames that need to be pressed into place or machinery you service frequently. All have a sleeve that expands inside your hole to create a strong grip. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. You can use these anchors as an alternative to wedge anchors in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points, but they are not as strong.
    To install, drive the anchor through your component into a drilled hole until the head meets the surface. Then, tighten the bolt to expand the anchor sleeve. As you tighten, the nylon ring compresses to secure the component against the surface. You can remove the bolt, but the anchor itself cannot be removed.
