Questions and Answers for Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Bolt 1/2 in. x 7 in. Zinc-Plated Wedge Anchor (25-Pack)

A:  The STB2-50700 is zinc-plated which provides a low level of corrosion protection and can be used with limited treated woods in dry service. This anchor is also available in Type 304 stainless steel (STB2-507004SS) which provides a high level of corrosion protection and Type 316 stainless steel (STB2-507006SS) which provides a severe level of corrosion protection. Please see the following link to the Corrosion section of our website to determine the recommended finish based on your condition: https://www.strongtie.com/solutions/corrosion. Thank you!

A:  There are various factors that come into play when determining allowable loads (i.e. concrete thickness, edge distance, spacing, etc.). Please contact the Engineering Support Department at your regional Simpson Strong-Tie branch for assistance - 800/999-5099. Thank you!

A:  To 'CommunityAnswer", are you sure it needs to be 6" deep into the concrete? Buying a 7" anchor, 6" deep in concrete, this leaves 1" above ground, barely fit the nuts and bolts, no room for material. It just doesn't make sense. I hope someone can give better answer.

A:  It is supposed to be approximately 6 inches deep into the concrete.

A:  Yes, the nuts and washers are included. Thank you!

A:  Capacities of these anchors depend on many field variables; the Engineer of Record will need to make the determination whether the Strong-Bolt 2 can be used in lieu of Hilti KB3. Thank you!
