CONCRETE INSERTS
LW-340
HW-340
Wedge inserts are embedded into concrete slabs. Nail holes in the back of the insert allow easy nailing to forms. When the forms are stripped, the open face of the insert is flush with the concrete. The beveled head of the askew head bolt engages the internal wedge shape of the insert and produces an automatic tightening action when a shear or dead load is placed on it. LW-340 Long Wedge Insert is suitable for use at the bottom of the slab or when additional vertical adjustability is needed. HW-340 Standard Wedge Insert must be installed at least 1-1/2” from bottom of slab. Both anchors require a minimum of 1-1/2” of concrete above the top of the insert. Finish: Hot-Dip Galvanized.
