Selecting the Correct Stainless Steel Wedge Anchor
Before starting any anchoring project, it is essential to determine the correct length of stainless steel wedge anchor to use to ensure correct and safe installation. The spacing between anchors during installation is also important to consider. Once the correct size and spacing requirements are determined, the installation of these wedge anchors can be completed. Three other important things to consider are: the correct size bit to use, the size of the fixture hole and the proper wrench to use.
Length of Stainless Steel Wedge Anchor:
To determine the length of anchor that is needed for your application. Add the thickness of material to be fastened to the minimum embedment for the diameter being used, plus 1/2”, plus the thickness of the nut and washer. This will give you the minimum length of anchor required.
Spacing of Stainless Wedge Anchor:
As a rule of thumb, the concrete anchor industry has established a minimum of ten (10) anchor diameters for spacing between anchors and five (5) anchor diameters from an unsupported edge. When vibration or sudden impact are part of the load conditions anchor spacing should be increased.
