Common Fasteners: Medium-Duty Sleeve Anchors


Medium-duty sleeve anchors can support up to 200 pounds. To use this fastener, drill the pilot hole through the metal or wood and into the base concrete. Then, slip the sleeve anchor into the hole. Hold the object to be fastened as the screw or nut is being tightened. As you tighten, the sleeves pinch the sides of the hole and get tighter.
