Wedge Anchors for Concrete Fastening

Q: Can I use a wedge anchor to attach a piece of equipment to metal? I need a high strength fastener.

A: No. Wedge anchors are used to strictly for fastening into concrete. The anchor is actually an expansion mechanism which fans out and locks the bolt into concrete as the fastener is tightened. This anchor doesn’t work when fastening into metal. If you can
