Simpson Strong-Tie Split-Drive Anchors: Professional Guide

Simpson Strong-Tie split-drive anchors are engineered to handle light to medium-duty fastening applications, delivering reliable holding power in concrete and solid masonry installations.

These anchors provide a straightforward solution for permanent attachments where immediate loading capability and installation efficiency are priorities on the jobsite.

Split-Drive Anchor Overview

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 through pre-formed expansion curves that activate when driven into pre-drilled holes.

The one-piece construction eliminates secondary operations - just drill the hole to specification, insert the anchor, and drive it home with hammer blows. No torquing, curing time, or specialized setting tools required, making them efficient for high-volume installation work where speed and simplicity matter.

These anchors work by expanding against the hole walls when the drive pin is hammered home, creating mechanical interlock with the base material. The expansion mechanism distributes loads across the concrete surface while providing immediate load-carrying capacity upon installation.

Available in multiple diameters and embedment lengths to match different load requirements and base material thicknesses. Standard zinc-plated carbon steel construction provides adequate corrosion resistance for most interior and protected exterior applications, with stainless steel options available for harsh environmental conditions.

Made for Professional Performance

Simpson Strong-Tie split-drive anchors are designed to meet specific load requirements for non-structural and light structural applications. When you need fastening solutions that install quickly and perform reliably in solid concrete and masonry substrates, split-drive anchors provide dependable holding power to keep projects on schedule and within code requirements.
