FEATURES

• Tri-segmented clip: Each segment is able to adjust independently increasing follow-up expansion should the hole increase in size as a result of a crack.
• Dual embossments on each clip segment: Allows the clip to undercut into the concrete increasing follow-up expansion should a crack occur.
• 316 stainless steel clip: In addition to superior corrosion resistance, a stainless steel clip offers better "memory". This memory contributes to the anchor's performance should the hole size increase due to a crack.
• Imperial fractional sized anchor: Fits most fixtures and installs with common drill bits sizes and tools. No need to buy additional tools to install a metric anchor and no special couplers needed.
• Installs like a standard wedge anchor: No complicated installation procedure. No need for special bits or installation tools.
• The head is stamped with the Simpson Strong-Tie® "≠" sign and size ID for easy post installation identification

TEST CRITERIA

The Strong-Bolt wedge anchor has been tested in accordance with the ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Mechanical Anchors in Concrete Elements (AC193) and ACI 355.2 for the following:

• Static tension and shear loading in cracked and uncracked concrete
• Seismic and wind loading in cracked and uncracked concrete
• Performance in cracked concrete
• Performance in lightweight concrete over metal deck

Vibratory Load Testing: A 150 lb. concrete block was suspended from a 1/2 " diameter anchor embedded at 2 1/4" and vibrated for 12.6 million cycles at a frequency of 30 Hz and an amplitude of 0.025 inches. Subsequent load test showed no reduction in ultimate tension capacity.
