Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Bolt 2 Wedge Anchor, 3/4 in. x 4-3/4 in., Type 316 Stainless Steel is a wedge-type expansion anchor engineered for high-performance structural anchoring in demanding conditions, including seismic and high-wind environments. Dual undercutting embossments on each clip segment enable secondary expansion should a crack form and intersect the anchor location, significantly increasing the anchor's ability to carry load if the hole expands. Fabricated from Type 316 stainless steel throughout - anchor body, nut, washer, and clip - this wedge anchor delivers long-lasting corrosion resistance across a wide variety of service environments, making it a reliable choice for both interior and exterior concrete anchoring applications.
Key Features
- Chamfered top designed to prevent mushrooming during installation - protects the anchor head during driving so threads remain clean and the nut seats properly every time.
- Qualified for static and seismic loading conditions covering seismic design categories A through F - gives engineers and contractors the documentation they need for code-compliant installations in virtually any seismic zone.
- Dual undercutting embossments on each clip segment enable secondary expansion - maintains load-carrying capacity even if a crack forms and intersects the anchor hole, adding a critical safety margin in cracked concrete.
- Suitable for horizontal, vertical, and overhead applications - provides installation flexibility so a single anchor specification covers multiple orientations on the same project.
- Standard (ANSI) fractional sizes fit standard fixtures and install with common drill bit and tool sizes - no specialty tooling required; installs with a 3/4 in. drill bit and a 1-1/8 in. wrench, keeping setup time and equipment costs low.
- Tested per ACI355.2 and AC193 - independently verified performance gives specifiers confidence that load values are backed by recognized industry test standards.
- Made from Type 316 stainless steel - offers superior resistance to corrosion and harsh service environments, extending the service life of the connection in moisture-exposed, coastal, or chemically aggressive conditions.
Why This Product
- Built for the most demanding structural conditions - the Strong-Bolt 2 is qualified for seismic design categories A through F and high-wind structural connections, making it one of the few wedge anchors suited for full-code compliance across the entire range of seismic exposure levels.
- Secondary expansion technology protects load capacity in cracked concrete - unlike standard wedge anchors, the dual undercutting embossments on each clip segment allow the anchor to re-engage if the surrounding concrete cracks, reducing the risk of connection failure in real-world conditions.
- Type 316 stainless steel construction throughout resists corrosion for the long term - with every component - body, nut, washer, and clip - made from Type 316 stainless steel, this anchor is well-suited for service environments where carbon-steel or zinc-plated anchors would degrade prematurely.
- Installs with standard tools and fits common fixtures without modification - ANSI fractional sizing and compatibility with a standard 3/4 in. drill bit and 1-1/8 in. wrench mean faster installation, fewer callbacks, and no need for specialty equipment on the job site.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Strong-Bolt 2 suitable for seismic applications?
The Strong-Bolt 2 is qualified for static and seismic loading conditions covering seismic design categories A through F. Its dual undercutting embossments on each clip segment enable secondary expansion should a crack form and intersect the anchor location, significantly increasing the anchor's ability to carry load if the hole expands. It has been tested per ACI355.2 and AC193 and is code listed for both cracked and uncracked concrete applications.
What drill bit and wrench size are required to install this anchor?
This anchor installs with a 3/4 in. drill bit and requires a 1-1/8 in. wrench size, making it compatible with common drill bit and tool sizes used for standard ANSI fractional fasteners.
Why is Type 316 stainless steel used for this anchor?
Type 316 stainless steel provides long-lasting corrosion resistance for a wide variety of service environments. All components - including the anchor body, nut, washer, and clip - are made from Type 316 stainless steel, ensuring consistent material performance throughout the entire assembly.
Can this wedge anchor be used in overhead or horizontal installations?
Yes. The Simpson Strong-Bolt 2 is suitable for horizontal, vertical, and overhead applications. Its chamfered top is specifically designed to prevent mushrooming during installation, which is especially important in overhead and inverted-position scenarios.
