Flange Nut Sleeve Anchor

The Flange Nut Sleeve Anchor is a type of fastener designed specifically for anchoring applications in concrete and masonry. It combines a Sleeve Anchor’s anchoring capability with a built-in flange Nut, enhancing ease of installation and load distribution. This fastener is commonly used in both residential and commercial construction projects, offering a reliable solution for securing various structures and fixtures.

 Key Features

1. Design:

   - The flange nut provides a larger bearing surface than conventional nuts, which helps distribute the load over a broader area of the base material. This feature significantly reduces stress concentrations and minimizes the risk of cracking in the surrounding concrete.

2. Material:

   - Flange nut Sleeve Anchors are typically manufactured from materials such as zinc-plated carbon steel for indoor applications, and stainless steel for environments exposed to moisture or corrosive elements. The choice of material affects the anchor's durability and application suitability.

3. Anchoring Mechanism:

   - The sleeve anchor consists of a cylindrical sleeve that expands when the Bolt (or stud) is tightened, gripping the walls of the drilled hole in the base material. This expansion provides a secure hold in concrete, masonry, or other solid materials.

4. Size Range:

   - Flange nut sleeve anchors are available in various sizes to accommodate different load requirements and installation conditions. Common sizes might range from M6 to M16 and vary in length.

5. Head Styles:

   - While the flange nut is a prominent feature, these anchors may also come with various head styles—such as hex head, round head, or flat head—allowing for versatility based on specific application needs.

 Applications

Flange nut sleeve anchors are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

- Structural Supports: Used in securing posts, beams, and other structural elements to concrete or masonry.

- Equipment Mounting: Ideal for anchoring machinery, HVAC units, and other heavy equipment.

- Fixture Installation: Commonly used for mounting shelves, racks, lighting fixtures, and more in both commercial and residential settings.

- Safety Barriers and Rails: Employed in securing safety rails, handrails, and other barriers where strength and stability are necessary.

 Advantages

- Ease of Installation: The combination of a sleeve anchor and flange nut simplifies the installation process, as there is no need for a separate nut, reducing assembly time.

- Load Distribution: The flange design enhances load distribution, helping to maintain the integrity of the base material.

- Versatility: Suitable for a variety of base materials, including concrete and masonry, making it a versatile choice for different construction scenarios.

- Corrosion Resistance: With appropriate material selection, these anchors can be used in various environments, including wet or corrosive conditions.
