Simpson Strong-Tie Sleeve Anchors

Simpson Strong-Tie Sleeve Anchors are built for versatility, making them a reliable choice for fastening into solid base materials such as concrete, brick, and block. With a pre-assembled design and multiple head styles to choose from, they offer contractors and builders flexibility across a wide range of structural and non-structural applications. Whether you’re working with heavy fixtures, equipment supports, or lighter installations, these expansion anchors provide dependable holding power and straightforward installation.

Designed specifically for use in solid base materials, Sleeve Anchors perform well in concrete, brick, and CMU. They come pre-assembled, saving time and simplifying the installation process in the field. Options include hex, acorn, flat, and rod coupler head styles, allowing installers to match the right anchor to their project needs. Manufactured from durable carbon steel or stainless steel, these anchors are built to last. Carbon steel versions are finished with zinc plating for added corrosion resistance, making them suitable for interior use and moderate environmental conditions.

In practical use, Sleeve Anchors excel at securing fixtures, handrails, and supports into masonry or concrete. They are equally effective for anchoring structural components into grouted block or brick and can be relied on for both commercial and residential fastening needs. Their versatility makes them suitable for a range of applications from light to heavy-duty, delivering consistent performance regardless of project scale.

Installation

Installation is straightforward and consistent, making Sleeve Anchors a trusted option for field use. To install, drill a hole in the base material matching the anchor’s diameter, then clean the hole of debris for a snug fit. Insert the anchor through the fixture and drive it in until seated securely against the surface. Tighten to the recommended torque to activate the expansion sleeve and create a strong, lasting hold. Proper drilling and hole preparation are key to ensuring maximum load capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Simpson Strong-Tie sleeve anchors?

Simpson Strong-Tie sleeve anchors (including the Sleeve-All® series) are expansion-type mechanical anchors designed for medium-duty fastening applications. They consist of a threaded rod or bolt with an expandable sleeve that grips the inside of the drilled hole when the nut is tightened.

What materials can sleeve anchors be used in?

Sleeve anchors are versatile and can be used in all types of solid base materials such as concrete, block, and brick. This makes them ideal for projects where substrate conditions vary.

What drill bit size should I use?

Always use the exact drill bit diameter specified for your specific anchor size. Common sizes include:

  • 1/4" anchor = 1/4" drill bit
  • 3/8" anchor = 3/8" drill bit
  • 1/2" anchor = 1/2" drill bit
  • 5/8" anchor = 5/8" drill bit

What's the minimum spacing between anchors?

Minimum spacing is typically 3-4 times the anchor diameter, but always verify with the specific technical data sheet. Edge distances should also be maintained per manufacturer specifications.
