Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 371942 is a Power Stud wedge anchor designed for securing structural and mechanical loads into hardened concrete. Manufactured from carbon steel with a zinc finish, this anchor resists corrosion in typical interior and protected exterior environments. At 1/2 inch in diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, it provides a thread length of 4 inches and requires a minimum embedment of 2-1/4 inches. Ultimate tension capacity in 4,000 psi concrete is rated at 6,625 lb, and ultimate shear capacity is rated at 7,150 lb. Each box contains 25 anchors. This fastener is installed by licensed contractors, ironworkers, and experienced trade professionals working with concrete substrates.

The 371942 wedge anchor is suited for residential and commercial concrete anchoring applications including sill plate attachment, equipment base mounting, structural steel connections, and mechanical system support anchoring. The 1/2 inch diameter is a common size for medium-duty structural fastening in poured concrete slabs, foundations, and concrete masonry. The 25-count pack quantity supports single-job or small-batch installations without overstock.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hammer drill and a 1/2 inch carbide-tipped masonry bit to bore the hole to the correct depth before anchor insertion. Power down or de-energize any embedded utilities in the work area before drilling. Drive the anchor with a hammer until the minimum embedment depth is achieved, then torque the nut with a standard wrench. Follow applicable building code requirements and manufacturer embedment and spacing guidelines to achieve rated load values.
