Common Fasteners: Wedge Anchors


Wedge Anchors are exceptionally strong fasteners are great for attaching framing members to stone and solid concrete, but keep in mind that once these anchors are in, you can’t get them out. Once the hole has been drilled, thread the nut a couple turns in, and then tap it in place using a hammer. Tighten with a wrench, and make sure the washer is in place.
