Installation Process
Four-Step Installation Protocol
Correct installation is the single most significant factor in achieving rated load performance. Each step below addresses a common field error that reduces pull-out capacity or causes anchor spin during tightening.
01
Drill to Exact Diameter and Depth
Use a carbide-tipped rotary hammer bit matched to the anchor diameter. Refer to the drill bit size column in the load table (e.g., 13.21–13.31 mm for 1/2" anchors). Drilling oversize by even 0.5 mm measurably reduces friction grip. Minimum burial depth must be met — deeper embedment is permitted and increases pull-out values.
02
Clean the Hole Completely
Blow out drilling debris with compressed air, then brush with a wire cleaning brush, then blow again. Residual concrete dust acts as a lubricant between the anchor clip and hole wall, preventing the expansion mechanism from engaging fully. This step is mandatory, not optional.
03
Drive Anchor to Minimum Embedment
Insert the anchor (with nut and washer pre-placed on the threaded stud) and drive it into the hole using a hammer on the top of the stud. The advanced collar design resists anchor rotation during this stage. Verify the embedment depth marking aligns with or is below the concrete surface before proceeding.
04
Torque to Specification
Using a calibrated torque wrench, tighten the nut to the recommended torque value for the specific diameter (e.g., 60 Nm for 1/2", 180 Nm for 3/4"). Over-torquing does not improve load capacity and risks stripping the clip. Under-torquing leaves the expansion clip partially closed, reducing holding strength significantly.
These steps apply to standard solid concrete substrates at minimum 2,000 psi compressive strength. Consult our technical data sheet for cracked concrete, lightweight concrete, or elevated-temperature environments.

Specification Guidance
How to Specify the Correct Anchor Size
Anchor selection involves matching four variables: required embedment depth, available concrete thickness, applied load, and torque tool access. The simplified guide below covers the most common structural loading conditions for reference purposes. All design loads should be confirmed by a licensed structural engineer.
Maximum-duty structural connections in heavy industrial and civil projects
Pull-out values shown are average maximums at minimum burial depth in 4,000 psi concrete. Actual design loads must include safety factors per applicable code (ACI 318, AISC, or equivalent). Values increase substantially at greater embedment depths — refer to full load table for complete data.
Standards & Compliance
Compliance Documentation Available
Structural procurement teams and project engineers consistently require documented compliance with recognized testing standards before including products in construction specifications. Our factory maintains the following certifications and test records.
GSA Spec FF-S-325 — Group II, Type 4, Class 1
The U.S. General Services Administration specification governing wedge-type expansion anchors for use in federal construction. This is the primary compliance reference for Ultra Wedge Anchors sold to the North American market. Our products meet dimensional and performance requirements of this specification.
ASTM B633 — Electrodeposited Zinc Coating
Carbon steel anchors receive electrodeposited zinc coatings tested in accordance with ASTM B633 for corrosion resistance and coating thickness uniformity. Coating class (SC1–SC4) can be specified based on end-use environment severity.
Mill Test Reports (MTR) — Steel Chemistry
Certified mill test reports are retained per production heat number and available upon request. Reports document chemical composition, mechanical properties, and heat treatment records for all raw steel inputs — a standard requirement for infrastructure and defense-adjacent procurement.

Technical Questions
Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Questions below are drawn from recurring pre-purchase and specification inquiries received from structural engineers, procurement managers, and general contractors across multiple export markets.
Standard Ultra Wedge Anchors are rated and tested in uncracked concrete substrates. The expansion mechanism relies on a stable surrounding aggregate matrix to develop full bearing area contact. In seismic zones or applications where cracked concrete must be assumed per ACI 318 Appendix D / ACI 355.2, a seismic-rated or undercut anchor system should be specified instead. If your project requires cracked-concrete rated anchors, contact our sales team — we can advise on compatible alternative products from our range.
As a general rule, the concrete member thickness below the embedded anchor tip should be at least equal to the burial depth of the anchor plus 50 mm (approximately 2 inches) to maintain full concrete bearing capacity and prevent cone breakout failure. For thin-section slabs or precast members, the actual minimum thickness should be calculated per ACI 318 anchor design provisions using the actual burial depth and applied load. Our technical data sheets include minimum edge distance and spacing requirements by diameter.
Concrete drilling generates fine dust that coats the hole wall. When an expansion anchor is driven into a dusty hole, the clips expand against compressible dust rather than hard aggregate, reducing the effective bearing area by up to 30%. The correct procedure is: (1) blow out with compressed air directed to the bottom of the hole, (2) scrub the walls with a wire cleaning brush sized to the hole diameter, (3) blow out again. In wet conditions or where the hole has been standing open, a third blow-out cycle is recommended. Some project specifications require witnessed hole cleaning — our installation guide can be provided to field supervisors.
Wedge anchors are classified as permanent mechanical anchors and are not designed for removal and reuse. Once fully torqued, the expansion clips are permanently deformed against the hole wall. The stud can be cut flush for aesthetic purposes, but the embedded clip assembly cannot be extracted without destroying the surrounding concrete. For temporary or removable fastening applications, a through-bolt or removable adhesive anchor system is more appropriate. Please let us know if this application requirement affects your selection.
For standard catalog items (inch-series, carbon steel), typical production lead time is 15–25 working days from order confirmation, depending on the size mix and total quantity. Minimum order quantities vary by diameter — smaller diameters (1/4" to 1/2") have higher per-box case counts and generally require less total volume to meet MOQ thresholds. Stainless steel grades and custom specifications require additional lead time. Our sales team will provide a specific lead time and MOQ quotation based on your confirmed item list.
The Ultra Wedge Anchor incorporates a formed steel collar at the base of the expansion clip zone. When the nut is tightened, torque is transferred down the stud. Without a collar, the rotational force can cause the entire anchor to spin in the hole rather than drawing the clip upward to expand against the concrete. The collar bites mechanically into the hole wall as the expansion clip opens, creating rotational resistance independent of the clip engagement. This design feature reduces installation failures significantly compared to simpler clip-only designs, particularly in applications where access space limits the use of a backup holding tool.

Ultra Wedge Anchor Industry knowledge
What are the precautions for installing Ultra Wedge Anchor?
In the construction and engineering industry, as the core component of structural connection, the professionalism and accuracy of the installation process of wedge anchors (Ultra Wedge Anchor) are crucial. Since its establishment in 1999, Yuyao Nanshan Development Co., Ltd. has been committed to the research and development and production of high-quality Ultra Wedge Anchors. With rich industry experience and technical accumulation, it has become an important player in this field. Preparation before installation Before installing the Ultra Wedge Anchor, it is necessary to ensure that all relevant tools and materials are fully prepared. This includes suitable drill bits, hammer tools, wrenches, dowel pins, and necessary measuring instruments. The evaluation of the installation environment cannot be ignored. It is necessary to ensure that the strength, humidity, and temperature of the concrete substrate meet the installation specifications of the Ultra Wedge Anchor. In addition, according to the specific application requirements, choosing the appropriate anchor specifications and models is a key step to ensure installation accuracy and reliability. Drilling and cleaning Drilling is an important part of the installation process of Ultra Wedge Anchor. First, the installation position of the anchor needs to be accurately measured and marked to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the drilling depth. During the drilling process, a drill bit that matches the diameter of the anchor should be used, and the manufacturer's recommended drilling depth and diameter should be strictly followed. After drilling, the hole must be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust and debris to ensure that the anchor can be inserted smoothly and form good friction, which is essential for subsequent load-bearing capacity. Installation and Adjustment When installing the Ultra Wedge Anchor, first insert the anchor into the pre-drilled hole and tap it gently with a hammer tool until the required depth is reached. During this process, it is necessary to ensure that the anchor remains vertical to avoid deflection or damage that affects the installation quality. To prevent the anchor from moving or rotating during installation, it is necessary to use a dowel pin to fix its position. After installation, tighten the anchor with an installation wrench to ensure that it reaches the designed load-bearing capacity and ensure the safety and stability of the structure. Inspection and Testing After installation, the Ultra Wedge Anchor must be fully inspected and tested. This includes confirming that the anchor is installed correctly and securely, and checking for any damage or defects. At the same time, a tensile test is performed to verify the performance of the anchor under the expected load. During the test, professional testing equipment is applied, and the standards and methods provided by the manufacturer are followed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Yuyao Nanshan Development Co., Ltd. has a strong technical foundation and rich industry experience in the production of Ultra Wedge Anchor.
