L H Dottie Co W38234 Wedge Anchor 3/8 X 2-3/4 Inch

Product Description

The L H DOTTIE CO W38234 is a 3/8-inch by 2-3/4-inch wedge anchor designed for anchoring structural and mechanical components to solid concrete. Wedge anchors are expansion-style fasteners that create a secure, load-bearing connection by expanding against the concrete as the nut is tightened. This anchor is a standard hardware accessory used across commercial and residential construction, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical conduit support, and plumbing pipe hangers. It is installed by licensed tradespeople in applications where a permanent, reliable anchorage to a concrete substrate is required.

The W38234 wedge anchor is suited for applications where equipment, brackets, or structural members must be fastened to poured concrete slabs, walls, or foundations. Common use cases include securing HVAC unit pads, equipment bases, electrical panels, strut channels, and pipe support systems. This anchor ships as an individual unit, making it easy to order in the exact quantity needed for a given job.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch diameter provides a strong anchor point suitable for medium-load applications in concrete
• 2-3/4-inch length accommodates standard fixture thicknesses when anchoring to concrete substrates
• Expansion-style wedge design locks in place as the nut is tightened, resisting pull-out forces
• Sold as an individual unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hardware accessory compatible with standard 3/8-inch anchor applications in solid concrete substrates.

Installation Notes

Wedge anchors are installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors working with concrete-mounted equipment. Drill a hole in the concrete using a carbide-tipped bit sized to match the anchor diameter, clear the hole of dust and debris before insertion, and torque the nut to the concrete anchor manufacturer specifications for the anchor size. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off mechanical systems before working in proximity to live circuits or pressurized lines during anchor installation.
