Value Collection 50288BBA Bent Anchor Bolt 18in 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 50288BBA is a bent anchor bolt designed for securing structural and mechanical components to concrete or masonry foundations. With a 1/2-13 unified coarse thread and an 18-inch overall length, this anchor bolt provides the embedment depth and thread engagement required for heavy-duty fastening tasks. Fabricated from Grade 2 steel, it delivers reliable tensile strength for general construction and equipment anchoring applications. Licensed tradespeople including HVAC mechanics, plumbers, and electricians rely on anchor bolts like this when setting equipment pads, pipe supports, and panel bases.

This bent anchor bolt is suited for residential and light commercial construction and maintenance work. It is commonly used to anchor HVAC equipment bases, water heater straps, electrical panel supports, pump housings, and similar mechanical equipment to concrete slabs or masonry surfaces. The bent configuration allows the bolt to be cast into concrete or set in grout, creating a secure, non-rotating anchor point once cured. Its coarse 1/2-13 thread mates with standard hex nuts and washers.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 unified coarse thread for compatibility with standard nuts and washers
• 18-inch overall length provides substantial embedment depth for secure anchoring
• Bent configuration resists pull-out when cast into concrete or set in grout
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose structural fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose bent anchor bolt for use with standard 1/2-13 nuts, washers, and threaded hardware in concrete and masonry anchoring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed tradespeople or structural contractors in accordance with local building codes and IBC requirements. The bolt should be placed and positioned before concrete is poured or set in an appropriate grout or adhesive anchoring system per the project specifications. Ensure the threaded end is protected during placement to prevent damage to the thread form. Consult the applicable building code and equipment manufacturer documentation for required embedment depth and spacing requirements.
