What are Anchor Bolts?
Anchor bolts are created to attach structural elements to concrete.In our industry, anchor bolts are generally used to attach steel toconcrete. One end is installed into the concrete, while the oppositeend is threaded to attach structural support.
Anchor Bolt Types
There are 4 major types of anchor bolts: L-shaped, double-endedrods with plate, headed, and swedge. Each type has its ownapplications, sizes, and benefits. Let's take a look at each type ofanchor bolt and how they are used in structural applications everyday.
L-Shaped Anchor Bolts
L-Shaped anchor bolts are used in numerous applications includinglight poles, sign structures, heavy equipment, and tooling. At
Classic Metallic, we distribute L-shaped bolts in 3/8”-2.5” diameterand any length needed in the following standards: A307, F1554 -36,F1554-55, F1554-105, A193 B7, 304 Stainless, 316 stainless, andany grade the customer might need.
Double Ended Rods with Plate
These types of anchors are double-ended rods with a plate washeradded at one end. The plate could either be welded to the anchorbolt itself, or it could be tack welded to a nut entrenched inconcrete. Plate bolts are used mainly in constructing columns forbuildings, highway signs, and other applications. At Classic Metallic,we distribute straight with plate bolts in 3/8”-4” diameter and any
length needed in the following standards: A307, F1554 -36,
F1554-55, F1554-105, A193 B7, 304 Stainless, 316 stainless, andany grade the customer might need.
Headed Anchor Bolts
Unlike most anchor bolts, headed anchor bolts have a fabricatedhead on their unthreaded end. It is generally a hex, heavy hex, orsquare head. The head is installed into the concrete to secure avariety of constructions including structural columns, bridge railing,and light poles. At Classic Metallic, we distribute straight withheaded anchor bolts in 1/2”-2” diameter and any length needed inthe following standards: A307, F1554 -36, F1554-55, F1554-105,A193 B7, 304 Stainless, 316 stainless, and any grade the customermight need.
Swedge Bolts
Swedge bolts comprise round bar steel that is threaded at one endand “swedged” on the other. “Swedged” means one end will havemultiple indentions to permit concrete to flow into them. Swedgebolts are 100% domestic because they are used for connecting
girders and piers. Most swedge bolts are hot-dipped galvanised andcome in diameters starting from 5/8” to 4”. They are also availablewith other materials such as stainless steel.
