Anchors: Simpson Strong-Bolt 2 Wedge Anchor
The Strong-Bolt 2 wedge anchor is the next-generation solution for cracked and uncracked concrete. Following rigorous testing according to ICC-ES acceptance criteria, the Strong-Bolt 2 anchor received classification as a Category 1 anchor, the highest attainable anchor category for performance in cracked concrete under static and seismic loading.
It is code-listed by ICC-ES under the 2009 IBC requirements for post-installed anchors in cracked and uncracked concrete. Available in the popular 3/8" diameter, the Strong-Bolt 2 anchor is ideal for MEP applications in cracked concrete, such as hanging pipes, struts, equipment anchorage and other fixtures overhead. The anchor is also effective for lightweight concrete applications, including concrete-over-metal decking.

This wedge anchor is ideal for corrosive environments, including construction in coastal areas, wastewater and sewage treatment facilities, food processing facilities, pulp and paper mills, and other high-exposure environments.
