Anchor Detail
Diagram Description: Anchor Assembly
Illustrates the components of the Domestic Wedge Anchor:
- d: Diameter of anchor
- dbit: Diameter of drill bit
- dh: Diameter of fixture clearance hole
- h: Base material thickness
- hnom: Minimum embedment depth
Note: The minimum base material thickness (h) should be 1.5 times the minimum embedment depth (hnom) or 4 inches, whichever is greater.
Length Identification
Anchors are marked with letters (A through S) corresponding to their length. For example, Mark A indicates a length from 1-1/2" up to but not including 2", while Mark S indicates a length of 11".
| Mark | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| From 1-1/2" up to but not including | 2" | 2-1/2" | 3" | 3-1/2" | 4" | 4-1/2" | 5" | 5-1/2" | 6" | 6-1/2" | 7" | 7-1/2" | 8" | 8-1/2" | 9" | 9-1/2" | 10" | 11" | 12" |
Length identification mark indicates overall length of anchor.
Installation Instructions
Diagram Description: Installation Steps
Illustrates the four-step process for installing the Domestic Wedge Anchor:
- Step 1: Drill Hole - Shows a drill bit creating a hole in the base material to the specified depth. Emphasizes using the correct drill bit size and meeting ANSI Standard B212.15 tolerances.
- Step 2: Clean Hole - Depicts removing dust and debris from the drilled hole using methods like dust extraction, hollow bits, suction, or forced air.
- Step 3: Insert Anchor - Shows positioning the washer on the anchor, threading the nut, and driving the anchor through a fixture (if applicable) into the prepared hole until the minimum embedment depth is reached.
- Step 4: Tighten Anchor - Illustrates using a torque wrench to tighten the nut and anchor to the specified installation torque (Tinst).

1 Tabulated load values are for anchors installed in uncracked concrete with no edge or spacing considerations. Concrete compressive strength must be at the specified minimum at the time of installation.
2 Ultimate load capacities must be reduced by a minimum safety factor of 4.0 or greater to determine allowable working loads.

1 Tabulated load values are for anchors installed in uncracked concrete. Concrete compressive strength must be at the specified minimum at the time of installation.
2 Allowable load capacities listed are calculated using an applied safety factor of 4.0.
3 Allowable loads for lightweight concrete may be determined by multiplying the tabulated allowable load capacities for normal weight concrete by 0.60.
