The Strike-In Anchor, also known as the Pin Type Anchor bolt and Expansion Bolt, is a bolt that expands on impact of the pin that protrudes out. The opposite end of the pin has a ribbed texture that is slotted to divide it into four equal parts (as seen in the image), this ribbed surface helps to gain better anchoring function of the bolt. These bolts are usually Yellow Zinc Plated and come in a variety of diameters and lengths

Selection of the right length?

This is quite simple. We add the thickness of the material that needs to be fastened, the minimum embedment and the thickness of the nut and washer.

How do I space my anchors?

The material (usually concrete) in which the Strike Anchors are installed are subjected to forces by the anchors. Installation of these anchors, too close to each other, can cause these forces to interact and consequently lowering the holding power of the anchors. As a thumb rule, the concrete anchor industry has established a minimum standard of ten (10) anchor diameters for spacing between anchors and five (5) anchor diameters from an unsupported edge. When vibration or sudden impact are part of the load condition, spacing between anchors should be increased.

Technical Specifications

**Values shown are average ultimate values and are offered only as a guide and are not guaranteed. A safety factor of 4:1 or 25% is generally accepted as a safe working load. Reference should be made to applicable codes for the specific working ratio. All values are based on close-tolerance holes drilled with carbide tipped drill bits. Designated holding power depends on the quality of the masonry material, depth of embedment, and proper hole size.
