PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

HW-340 Malleable Iron Wedge Inserts are set into concrete slabs to provide a secure, adjustable anchorage point for attaching fixtures or materials.

  • Once forms are stripped, the insert’s face is flush with the concrete.
  • The Askew Head Bolt’s beveled head engages the internal wedge to tighten when loaded.
