DROP IN ANCHOR
CONSTRUCTION:
TAV Drop-In Anchor is a type of concrete anchor used to
secure objects to concrete surfaces. Its construction typically
includes the following features:
EMBEDMENT DEPTH:
The embedment depth refers to the depth to which the anchor is installed into the concrete substrate. It is typically recommended to install the anchor at a depth equal to the length of the anchor, ensuring proper engagement with the concrete.
•Body: The main body of the drop-in anchor is typically made
of stainless steel or other
corrosion-resistant materials. It is cylindrical in shape with
internal threads.
MINIMUM EDGE DISTANCE:
Drop-in anchors require a minimum distance from the edge
of the concrete to ensure proper installation and
performance. This distance varies depending on the
diameter and length of the anchor, and should be
determined based on manufacturer recommendations and
building code requirements.
•Expansion Collar: Inside the body of the anchor, there is an
expansion collar, which is usually made of steel. The
expansion collar is designed to expand when a bolt is
threaded into the anchor, creating a secure connection with
the concrete.
MATERIAL:
Drop-in anchors are commonly made of materials such as
zinc-plated carbon steel, stainless steel, or other
corrosion-resistant alloys.
•Lip or Flange: At the top of the anchor, there is often a lip or
flange that prevents the anchor from falling through the hole
in the concrete after installation.
•Internal Threads:
The internal threads inside the
anchor are compatible with standard bolts or
threaded rods. When a bolt is inserted and tightened into the
anchor, it pulls the expansion collar upwards, causing it to
expand against the walls of the hole in the concrete
