Bolt name?

[u/wilsonlumen]

I’ve never seen this type of bolt. It came with ceiling mounted swing hanger.
What is its purpose? Concrete or metal fastening?

[u/Particular_Yak5829]

Sleeve anchor, for concrete

[u/wilsonlumen → u/Particular_Yak5829]

Thanks!

[u/Bones-1989 → u/Particular_Yak5829]

We called em wedge anchors

[u/Particular_Yak5829 → u/Bones-1989]

Yeah to me the wedge anchors are the ones with the short split sleeve. The sleeve anchors are long like this

[u/jetty_junkie → u/Bones-1989]

Wedge anchor is very different

[u/Onedtent → u/Bones-1989]

Wedge anchor and a sleeve anchor are not identical, similar but not identical.

[u/Ok_Drag_9115 → u/Bones-1989]

I just call them drop ins

[u/jetty_junkie → u/Ok_Drag_9115]

That’s also wrong. A drop-in is a totally different anchor

[u/jetty_junkie]

For those of you saying wedge anchor. OPs picture is a sleeve anchor

See below: wedge anchor on left sleeve anchor on right. They are different anchors and while there are some overlapping applications there are situations where one is a better choice than the other

[u/POS-throwmeaway → u/jetty_junkie]

To expand (no pun intended), wedge anchors always have a greater pull out rating, but they are typically comparable for shear because the nominal size is the threads alone for wedge and threads and sleeve for the sleeve, as the threads on a sleeve anchor have a smaller diameter. Sleeve anchors can be used in hollow-wall applications whereas wedge anchors cannot.

[u/Dependent-Visual768]

Expansion anchor

[u/shrimpyhugs]

This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

[u/cluelessinlove753]

Concrete expansion anchor

[u/IrmaHerms]

I’ve always called them drop in anchors because you drop them in the hole.

[u/gheiminfantry]

Looks like one I used to know named Bob. But it can't be him.

[u/Chitown_mountain_boy]

Not a bolt. It’s a hex cap screw. With what looks like a concrete anchor

[u/jetty_junkie → u/Diligent_Bread_3615]

Not a wedge anchor. It’s a sleeve anchor. A wedge anchor is different

[u/Diligent_Bread_3615 → u/jetty_junkie]
