Value Collection 38414 Concrete Wedge Anchor 1/2 in 7 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38414 is a zinc-plated steel concrete wedge anchor designed to fasten structural and non-structural elements to solid concrete. The anchor measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 7-inch overall length and a 5.25-inch thread length, providing deep engagement for reliable holding strength. The hex head drive type allows installation with a standard socket or wrench. Each anchor ships with a nut and washer included. This fastener is installed by construction tradespeople, concrete contractors, and general tradespeople working on concrete substrates.

Concrete wedge anchors in this diameter and length range are commonly used in residential and light commercial applications including securing sill plates, equipment bases, handrail posts, strut channel, and mechanical equipment anchor bolts to poured concrete floors, walls, and foundations. The 5.25-inch thread length supports a range of fixture thicknesses while maintaining required embedment depth into the base material.

Installation Notes

Concrete wedge anchors are installed by drilling a hole in the concrete to the specified diameter and minimum embedment depth using a hammer drill and carbide-tipped masonry bit. The hole must be cleaned of dust and debris before setting the anchor. Follow applicable building codes and the anchor manufacturer load tables for minimum edge distance, spacing, and embedment requirements. Never install wedge anchors in cracked concrete or at embedment depths less than the minimum required for the anchor diameter.
