Mechanical Anchors
The Mechanical Anchor series is designed to join an oversized anchor to one end of reinforcing steel. The anchor has a machined taper thread which allows for quick alignment and engagement of the rebar. Mechanical Anchors often replace “hooked bars” in end termination applications. The oversized anchor is capable of exceeding the ACI, UBC, A970 and IBC building codes. The embedment lengths and pull out strengths are determined by the structural engineer in compliance with ACI 318.
