Frequently Asked Questions

What base materials is the Simpson Strong-Tie CD18212C Crimp Drive anchor designed for?

The CD18212C Crimp Drive anchor is designed for use in concrete and grout-filled block, making it suitable for a wide range of structural and light construction applications.

How does the Crimp Drive anchor stay secure without a secondary tightening step?

The anchor features a preformed curvature along its shaft that acts as a built-in expansion mechanism. When driven into the drilled hole, this curved shaft design expands to grip the base material securely, eliminating the need for any additional tightening procedure after installation.

What is the benefit of the countersunk head on the CD18212C?

The countersunk head style provides a zero-profile solution, meaning the anchor sits flush with or below the surface of the material being fastened. This is ideal for applications where a smooth, low-profile finish is required.

What material and finish is the CD18212C anchor made from?

The CD18212C is constructed from carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish, which provides a layer of corrosion resistance suitable for the anchor's intended installation environments.
