How to Install a Sleeve Anchor

When installing a sleeve anchor, you must ensure that you drill a hole in the concrete to the same diameter as the bolt. The hole should also be slightly longer than the bolt so that the sleeve anchor can be properly installed. You must also clean out the hole thoroughly with a wire brush or vacuum, as any debris in the hole can compromise the grip of the sleeve anchor.

A sleeve anchor is made from solid steel components and features zinc-plated parts. The sleeve wraps around a metal stud and has a flared end that extends outward. The stud is then screwed into the sleeve with a nut and washer on top, and the installer then turns the nut until the stud is snugged into the expander sleeve. Once tightened, the sleeve anchor will grasp the concrete and hold it in place.

A sleeve anchor can support up to 200 pounds of weight. The amount of weight it can support depends on the type and size of the material it is fastened into. The weight of the object will also determine how much support is needed. In addition to its strength, a sleeve anchor is also resistant to corrosion and rust, which is especially important if it is being used outdoors.

Several different types of sleeve anchors are available in the market. Each type is designed for a particular application. The cast-in-place bolt is ideal for concrete fastening. The head of the bolt is specially designed to ensure a secure insertion into the concrete.
