3/8″ x 1-7/8″ 304 Stainless Steel Hex Sleeve Anchor

Description

• Anchor Diameter: 3/8″.
• Total Length: 1-7/8″ (measured from underneath the nut/washer).
• Drill Bit Size: 3/8″ (anchor diameter equals hole size).
• Minimum Embedment: 1-1/4″ into the base material.
• Maximum Fixture Thickness: 5/8″.
• Wrench Size: 9/16″ is required for the hex nut.
• Load Capacity: At 2,000 PSI concrete, it typically offers ultimate pull-out values of approximately 1,406 lbs and shear values of 3,082 lbs. 

• 360-Degree Expansion: The sleeve provides consistent holding power by expanding across its entire length as the nut is tightened.
• Pre-Assembled: Each anchor comes ready to install with a pre-fitted nut and washer, eliminating the need for separate parts.
• Corrosion Resistance: Unlike zinc-plated options, the 304 stainless steel material is ideal for harsh or submerged environments where rust is a concern.
• Substrate Versatility: While many anchors require solid concrete, sleeve anchors can also be used in porous materials like hollow block or brick because they distribute stress over a wider area. 

• Construction & Infrastructure: Securing handrails, window frames, and electrical boxes.
• Marine Use: Ideal for docks, piers, and other waterfront structures due to saltwater resistance.
• Industrial Equipment: Mounting machinery or shelving where vibration may occur. 

1. Drill: Use a 3/8″ carbide-tipped bit to drill a hole at least 1/2″ deeper than the intended penetration.
2. Clean: Remove debris from the hole using a wire brush or compressed air.
3. Insert: Drive the anchor through the fixture into the hole until the washer is flush with the surface.
4. Tighten: Turn the hex nut 2 to 4 times or to a torque of 15–18 ft/lbs.
