The installation process requires careful attention to detail. Like most anchor systems, sleeve anchors demand precise hole preparation. The drilled hole must precisely match the anchor's dimensions for optimal performance. When the screw is driven into the prepared hole, the sleeve component undergoes controlled expansion, creating a secure grip against the surrounding material.
These anchors are manufactured using various high-quality metals to suit different environmental conditions and load requirements. Available options include standard steel for general applications, stainless steel for corrosion resistance in harsh environments, and zinc-plated steel offering a balance of durability and cost-effectiveness. This range makes sleeve anchors ideal for securing light to medium-weight materials to concrete surfaces, brick walls, and tile installations.
The design of sleeve anchors features a sophisticated mechanism. The core component is a hollow body through which a threaded bolt runs in reverse orientation. This assembly is completed with a washer and nut system for secure fastening. Sleeve anchors come in two distinct head styles: hex heads and flat heads, each serving specific purposes. Hex head variants provide superior structural strength and are preferred for heavy-duty applications, while flat head designs offer a more aesthetically pleasing, flush finish that's ideal for visible installations where appearance matters.
