Fixing Of Threaded Rods And Eye Bolts

  • What size Hexagon Flange Bolt socket do I use to install foundation bolts with a diameter of 1-1/8 inches?
    Customers often want to know how to install an anchor bolt sleeve with a 1-1/8 inch diameter rod. This problem has attracted the attention of Wanchen fastener anchor bolt manufacturers. This problem arises due to the fact that the anchor bolt sets are not manufactured with a diameter of 1-1/8 inches. We know two different solutions, but want to know which installation method is preferred. In order to better answer this question, we contacted anchor bolt sleeve manufacturers Contec and Wilson and gained their expertise.
     
    Purchase a smaller diameter anchor bolt sleeve (in this example, a 1-inch diameter sleeve) and cut a larger hole in the plastic anchor bolt sleeve.
    Purchase a larger diameter anchor bolt sleeve (in this case, use a 1-1/4 inch diameter sleeve), and then use tape to fix the anchor bolt sleeve to the anchor bolt.
    “Both options are good, but option 1 (buy a smaller diameter and cut larger holes) will take up more manpower. All the contractors we deal with choose to use larger casing holes and tape. It is faster and achieves the same result."
    "The best option is to buy a larger diameter anchor bolt sleeve and use tape to fix it to the anchor rod."
    It seems that the manufacturer agrees. When you need to fix the Threaded Rods And Eye Bolts sleeve to fit the unmanufactured diameter, it is best to buy a larger size fixing bolt sleeve, and then use tape to fix it on the fixing bolt. This is the fastest method and is usually critical on the job site. The final say is the contractor and engineer. Before making a final decision, be sure to consult with them to ensure that all variables related to your particular job are taken into account.
