Anchors | Anchor Fasteners

Usages for Anchors

Concrete and masonry anchors are used to attach structural base plates, equipment pads, pipe supports, handrails, safety barriers, HVAC equipment, electrical panels, wall-mounted hardware, and a vast range of other building components to concrete or masonry substrates. The selection of anchor type depends on the substrate material (poured concrete, hollow block, brick, or stone), the load type (tension, shear, or combined), the edge distance and spacing available, and the code or engineering specification governing the application.

Anchors for all Industries

Concrete and masonry anchors are used across commercial and industrial construction, structural and civil engineering, HVAC and mechanical contracting, electrical construction, equipment installation and maintenance, and infrastructure construction. Structural engineers, general contractors, specialty trade contractors, and maintenance teams use anchors daily. Blue Ribbon Fastener provides the anchor types, sizes, and load data documentation that engineering and field installation teams need to correctly specify and install concrete and masonry fastening systems.
