Simpson 1/2" x 5-1/2" Wedge Anchor

Simpson 1/2" x 5-1/2" Wedge Anchor is a heavy-duty mechanical anchor designed for use in solid concrete. It is made of zinc-plated carbon steel and features a unique design that provides superior strength and reliability. The anchor has a pre-expanded cone-shaped end that is driven into the concrete by hammering the top of the anchor. As the cone is hammered, it forces the sides of the anchor to expand, creating a tight grip on the concrete.

The anchor is then secured by tightening the nut on the top of the anchor, which pulls the cone into the expansion clip, creating a secure hold. This wedge anchor is commonly used for applications such as installing heavy machinery, equipment, and structural steel to concrete.
