The Snake anchor is an internally threaded, self-tapping screw anchor designed for performance in cracked and uncracked concrete. Suitable base materials include normal-weight concrete, lightweight concrete and concrete over steel deck. The Snake screw anchor is installed into a drilled hole with a power tool and a Snake setting tool. After installation a steel element is threaded into the anchor body.

Features

• Cracked concrete approved alternative to a dropin anchor
• Designed for use in holes drilled with standard ANSI carbide drill bits
• Anchor design allows for shallow embedment and mechanically interlocks with base material
• Internally threaded anchor for easy adjustment and removability of threaded rod or bolt
• Fast anchor installation with a powered impact wrench
