The Simpson AnchorMate AM 1 Anchor Bolt Holder is a reusable composite polymer device engineered to hold 1-in. diameter anchor bolts firmly in position before a concrete pour - a code requirement in some jurisdictions. Designed to seat directly on 2x4 and 2x6 formboards, it features threaded grippers that secure each bolt at a consistent location and height without a nut, protecting threads from splashing wet concrete while simplifying trowel finishing. Lightweight and durable, this holder is built for the speed and repeatability that residential and commercial concrete foundation work demands.

Key Features

• Built-in 2x4 and 2x6 stops - eliminate measuring entirely, so every bolt lands in the correct position the first time without manual layout work.
• Threaded grippers secure the bolt without a nut - reduce steps during setup and teardown, keeping crews moving faster on forming operations.
• Elevated bolt grippers - raise the bolt above the slab surface so finishers can run a trowel underneath without obstruction, resulting in a cleaner finish.
• Thread protection built into the holder - shields bolt threads from splashing concrete during the pour, reducing cleanup time and protecting the integrity of each fastener.
• Color-coded black for quick size identification - allows workers to grab the correct holder at a glance when multiple anchor bolt diameters are in use on the same job.
• Reusable yet cost-efficient - can be pulled and reused across multiple pours or deployed as a single-use holder, giving contractors flexibility based on project scope.

Why This Product

• Jurisdiction-ready anchor positioning - the AnchorMate is specifically designed for applications where local codes require anchor bolts to be held in place before the pour, taking the guesswork out of compliance on foundation projects.
• Faster forming with no measuring required - integrated stops for both 2x4 and 2x6 formboards mean installers set the holder, drop in the bolt, and move on - cutting layout time across every foundation course.
• Consistent bolt height and location on every pour - threaded grippers hold each anchor bolt at the same position without a nut, eliminating the bolt shift or lean that can complicate sill plate installation after the concrete cures.
• Reusable composite polymer construction - the durable material holds up through concrete pours and jobsite handling, allowing the holders to be recovered and reused without degrading performance, adding long-term value on multi-pour projects.
