1/4" x 2 1/4" Zinc Wedge Concrete Anchors Compact High Grip Fasteners - Tiny but Mighty

The Titan 1/4" x 2 1/4" zinc plated wedge anchor is a compact, reliable concrete fastener designed for light to medium duty applications, delivering dependable holding strength in solid concrete and fast one step installation for contractors and DIYers alike.

Why choose a 1/4" wedge anchors

  • Ideal for fixtures where space or edge distance limits larger anchors such as signage, light shelving, or small handrails.
  • Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and covered outdoor uses.
  • Simple installation process reduces labor time compared with epoxied anchors.

How it performs quick specs

  • Diameter 1/4", Length 2 1/4", Minimum embedment 1 1/8".
  • Recommended drill bit 1/4" carbide tipped bit; torque around 5 to 10 ft lbs for best holding values in typical 2000 PSI concrete.

Installation step by step for reliable results

  1. Mark and drill: center punch, then drill to the anchor’s embedment depth plus 1/2" to accommodate dust.
  2. Clean the hole: brush or blow out all concrete dust for maximum grip.
  3. Position and set: place the washer and nut on the anchor, insert through the fixture into the hole, and hammer until flush.
  4. Torque to spec: tighten the nut to the recommended torque (finger tight plus 3 to 4 turns or 5 to 10 ft lbs).

Common applications and examples

  • Mounting light duty shelving and brackets in garages and workshops.
  • Securing sign brackets, cable conduits, and small exterior fixtures.
  • Fastening base plates for guardrails or temporary scaffolding where loads are moderate.
