Simpson Concrete Anchors: Reliable Fastening Solutions for Masonry and Concrete

Simpson concrete anchors are made to handle both structural and non-structural applications, delivering the holding power and reliability that can handle jobsite challenges.

These anchors cover everything from temporary attachments to permanent structural connections, with options that are created for different base materials, load requirements, and installation conditions.

Comprehensive Anchor Solutions Overview

Wedge Anchors: Heavy-duty expansion anchors that create permanent connections in solid concrete. Installation requires pre-drilling with the correct masonry bit, then expanding the wedge mechanism by torquing the hex nut. These anchors cannot be removed once set, making them ideal for permanent structural applications.

Anchor Bolt Locators and Stabilizers: Template and bracing systems that maintain anchor bolt alignment during concrete placement. Essential tools for ensuring dimensional accuracy in foundation work and precast connections.

Foundation Bolts: Engineered anchor bolts for structural connections between concrete foundations and building frames. Available in various configurations to handle different load requirements and installation methods in new construction.

Concrete Screws: Self-tapping fasteners engineered for direct attachment into concrete and masonry. Perfect for wood-to-concrete connections and applications where you need the flexibility of removable fastening without compromising holding strength.

Adhesive Anchors: Chemical anchoring systems that create high-strength bonds for threaded rod, rebar, and dowel installations. These systems work in concrete, masonry, and hollow block, providing excellent performance in both tension and shear applications.

Drop-In Anchors: Internally threaded expansion anchors designed for flush-mount installations. Once set below the concrete surface, they accept machine screws for clean, professional connections in overhead and surface-mount applications.

Hammer Drive Anchors: Quick-install anchors for light to medium-duty applications in concrete and grout-filled masonry. These anchors set with simple hammer blows, making them efficient for high-volume installation work.

Sleeve Anchors: Versatile expansion anchors that work across multiple base materials, including concrete, brick, and hollow block. The through-fastening design makes them suitable for attaching fixtures and equipment where the anchor needs to pass completely through the attached material.

Crimp Drive Anchors: One-piece anchors with pre-formed expansion curves that create holding action when driven into pre-drilled holes. No secondary operations required - just drill and drive for quick installation in light-duty applications.

Helical Wall Ties: Specialized connectors for masonry restoration and facade anchoring applications. These screw-in ties create structural connections between brick veneer and backup walls while allowing for thermal movement and moisture management.

Split-Drive Anchors: Simple hammer-set anchors that expand upon installation without requiring nuts or additional hardware. The split design creates immediate holding power in concrete and solid masonry applications.

Zinc Nailon Anchors: Cost-effective anchors with mushroom heads designed for static load applications. Installation is straightforward - position the anchor and drive the pin home with a hammer blow to create the expansion.

AnchorMate Bolt Anchors: Reusable positioning systems that hold anchor bolts in a precise location during concrete pours. These templates ensure accurate bolt placement and eliminate the time and cost of post-pour corrections.

Made for Professional Performance

Every anchor in the Simpson line is designed to meet specific load requirements and installation conditions. When you need fastening solutions that perform consistently across different substrates and environmental conditions, Simpson Strong-Tie anchors provide users with strong and reliable holds to keep projects on schedule and within regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of projects are Simpson concrete anchors suitable for?

Simpson anchors are designed for both structural and non-structural applications, including temporary attachments, permanent structural connections, wood-to-concrete fastenings, and masonry restoration. They provide reliable holding power across various substrates.

How do concrete screws differ from other anchors?

Concrete screws are self-tapping fasteners that attach directly to concrete and masonry without the need for chemical adhesives or expansion. They are perfect for applications where removable fastening is required, like attaching wood or fixtures to concrete.

How do I install adhesive anchors correctly?

Drill a clean hole to the specified diameter, remove dust, inject the adhesive, and insert the rod or rebar. Allow the chemical to cure for the recommended time before applying load. Following the manufacturer’s instructions ensures optimal performance.

What are Simpson Strong-Tie drop-in anchors, and where are they used?

Drop-in anchors are internally threaded expansion anchors installed flush with the concrete surface. They accept machine screws, making them ideal for overhead installations and clean, professional surface-mount connections.

What is the difference between sleeve anchors and wedge anchors?

Sleeve anchors are versatile, through-fastening anchors suitable for multiple base materials and removable connections. Wedge anchors are heavy-duty expansion anchors designed for permanent, high-load connections in solid concrete.

How do I choose the right anchor for my project?

Selection depends on the base material, load requirements, and whether the connection is permanent or removable. For solid concrete, wedge anchors or adhesive anchors work well for structural connections, while concrete screws or sleeve anchors are better for removable or light-duty installations.
