What are Anchor Bolts?
Anchor bolts are created to attach structural
elements to concrete. In our industry, anchor
bolts are generally used to attach steel to
concrete. One end is installed into the concrete,
while the opposite end is threaded to attach
structural support. Anchor Bolt Types
There are 4 major types of anchor bolts
L-shaped, double-ended rods with plate, headed,
and swedge. Each type has its own applications,
sizes, and benefits. Let's take a look at each
type of anchor bolt and how they are used in
structural applications every day.

L-Shaped Anchor Bolts L-Shaped anchor bolts are
used in numerous applications including light
poles, sign structures, heavy equipment, and
tooling. At Classic Metallic, we distribute
L-shaped bolts in 3/8-2.5 diameter and any
length needed in the following standards A307,
F1554 -36, F1554-55, F1554-105, A193 B7, 304
Stainless, 316 stainless, and any grade the
customer might need. Double Ended Rods with Plate
These types of anchors are double-ended rods with
a plate washer added at one end. The plate could
either be welded to the anchor bolt itself, or
it could be tack welded to a nut entrenched in
concrete. Plate bolts are used mainly in
constructing columns for buildings, highway
signs, and other applications. At Classic
Metallic, we distribute straight with plate
bolts in 3/8-4 diameter and any length needed
in the following standards A307, F1554
-36, F1554-55, F1554-105, A193 B7, 304 Stainless,
316 stainless, and any grade the customer might
need. Headed Anchor Bolts

Unlike most anchor bolts, headed anchor bolts
have a fabricated head on their unthreaded end.
It is generally a hex, heavy hex, or square
head. The head is installed into the concrete to
secure a variety of constructions including
structural columns, bridge railing, and light
poles. At Classic Metallic, we distribute
straight with headed anchor bolts in 1/2-2
diameter and any length needed in the following
standards A307, F1554 -36, F1554-55, F1554-105,
A193 B7, 304 Stainless, 316 stainless, and any
grade the customer might need. Swedge Bolts
Swedge bolts comprise round bar steel that is
threaded at one end and swedged on the other.
Swedged means one end will have multiple
indentions to permit concrete to flow into them.
Swedge bolts are 100 domestic because they are
used for connecting girders and piers. Most
swedge bolts are hot-dipped galvanised and come
in diameters starting from 5/8 to 4. They are
also available with other materials such as
stainless steel. If you want quality Industrial
