The use of anchor sleeves for masonry anchoring is an easy-to-use, fast and flexible process. They can use a wide range of materials and applications exposed to seismic loads. When the fastener is tightened, a firm connection is established between the bolt and the substrate, which can distribute the weight of the load.

The purpose of this guide is to show you the working principle of anchor sleeves, what are the common anchor sleeve sizes, which type of anchor sleeves (such as resin or concrete anchor sleeves) are suitable for you, and how they are applied and how you can use them. Use them effectively to choose the right one for your application.

In order to make your project effective and have a long service life, you must choose the correct fixing method. You should choose the correct anchor sleeve for your project, as they are usually permanent fixtures.

Anchor sleeves have many uses. Typical applications include fixing the radiator in the home and fixing the floor joists. They can also be used for heavy work, such as fixing garage doors.

Concrete, bricks and blocks can all be used as the base materials for these anchor bolts. For dry indoor environments, stainless steel sleeve anchors are more suitable than galvanized anchors. The design of the fixtures will ultimately determine their purpose.

Galvanized seldom can withstand prolonged outdoor exposure, while stainless steel is corrosion resistant, even in marine environments. Stainless steel is very suitable for indoor use far away from the elements.

There are different types of anchor sleeves, which makes their uses more diverse. In addition, these fasteners can be used to connect luminaires to concrete walls or ceilings, to connect door frames, and to fix electrical junction boxes.

The friction ensures a strong bond between the concrete and the fixed parts. The strength of the project depends on the correct installation of the sleeve anchor.

To get a strong and secure connection, make sure to follow our installation guide.

Find the anchor hole for the material in the concrete, and then place the material in the position to be anchored. If there is enough clearance, the product can be left in place while drilling. In this case, the product can be positioned more accurately. Then, use a hammer drill to drill bolt holes in the concrete.

It is important to measure the size of the hole. The diameter of the hole you should drill corresponds to the anchor you plan to use, plus 1/2" to 1" deeper than the expected depth of the anchor. From below the nut, measure the length of the anchor sleeve.

Step 2: Install the anchor sleeve

Pre-assembled fixtures are available. In order to insert the anchor bolt correctly, the nut must be aligned with the top of the thread. This will prevent the threads from cracking. Insert the anchor body into the substrate through the product hole. After striking the anchor bolt with a hammer, the nut and washer should be flush with the fixing. The nut should be tightened by hand first. The sleeve holders cannot be removed once installed, so you need to tighten them manually to make sure you are satisfied with the placement.

How many anchor sleeves do you need? If the fixing devices are too close together, the fixing force of the fixing devices will actually be weakened. There should be at least ten anchor diameters separating them, and their distance from the unsupported edge should not exceed five diameters.

In the case of severe vibration or sudden impact, increase the spacing between the fasteners to reduce the interaction of the forces generated in the substrate.
