Anchor bolt

Anchor bolts or foundation bolts are as the name suggests, anchors that are typically used to attach objects or structures to concrete. They are normally supplied in two sizes and two types which are: ½ x 6 ½ x 8 In right angle bend or pig tail type anchors. Other sizes that include ¾ or 1" diameters are available on request. In all cases, imperial sizes may be substituted for equivalent metric sizes as may be needed. The following definitions will apply for Anchor Bolts: • Bolt: A bolt is an externally threaded fastener, typically for use through pre designed or drilled holes, typically intended to be tightened or released with use of an appropriately sized nut. A screw has features in it's design which make it capable of being used in a tapped or other preformed hole in the work it is designed for regardless of its use in its service application. Its basic design or features allow it to be tightened or released only by use of an accompanying nut of appropriate size. • Carbon Steel: Steel which owes its properties chiefly to various percentages of carbon without substantial amounts of other elements; is classified as steel when no minimum content of elements other than carbon content is specified. • GRADE is typically a reference to hardness. Common anchor bolts are grade 2.
