Anchor Parawedge 1/2 x 3-3/4 by COBRA ANCHORS Heavy Duty Stud Anchor

Description

Product Overview

The Anchor Parawedge 1/2 x 3-3/4 by COBRA ANCHORS is engineered as a premium stud anchor that delivers exceptional holding power in both concrete and masonry substrates. Constructed from high‑grade steel, the parawedge features a precision‑machined shank that resists bending and shear forces, ensuring a secure connection even under dynamic loads. Its compact 13 × 5 × 5 inches package dimensions make it easy to store and handle on the job site, while the 7.2‑ounce weight provides a balance between portability and durability.

Designed to meet the rigorous standards of industrial and scientific applications, this anchor carries the part number 501N and complies with ASTM specifications for load‑bearing fasteners. The product is not discontinued, and its best‑seller rank of #55 in the Stud Anchors category reflects its popularity among professionals who demand reliability. The anchor’s 1/2‑inch diameter and 3‑3/4‑inch length are optimized for medium‑to‑heavy duty installations, offering a versatile solution for a wide range of fastening scenarios.

Usage

When installing the Anchor Parawedge, drill a pilot hole to the recommended depth using a carbide‑tipped bit. The anchor is suitable for use in new construction as well as retrofit projects where existing concrete or masonry surfaces require reinforcement. Typical applications include mounting heavy equipment, securing structural steel brackets, anchoring electrical panels, and attaching safety railings in industrial facilities.

Because of its heavy‑duty design, the parawedge performs well in environments with temperature fluctuations, vibration, and exposure to moisture. It is also compatible with a variety of fastener types, such as hex bolts, carriage bolts, and threaded rods, allowing engineers to select the most appropriate hardware for their specific load requirements. The anchor’s low profile ensures that it does not protrude excessively, reducing the risk of snagging or interference with adjacent components.

FAQ

What type of drill bit should I use for installation?

We recommend using a carbide‑tipped masonry bit that matches the anchor’s diameter (typically 1/2 inch) to achieve a clean, properly sized pilot hole.

Can this anchor be used in brick walls?

Yes, the Anchor Parawedge is suitable for both concrete and brick masonry, provided the substrate is solid and the hole is drilled to the correct depth.

What is the maximum load rating for this anchor?

The exact load rating depends on the installation conditions, but the anchor is rated for heavy‑duty applications up to several thousand pounds when installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Is there a warranty on the Anchor Parawedge?

COBRA ANCHORS offers a limited warranty that covers material defects and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase.

How do I determine the correct embedment depth?

As a general rule, the embedment depth should be at least 1.5 times the anchor’s diameter. For the 1/2 inch Parawedge, a minimum embedment of 3/4 inch is recommended, though deeper installations provide greater holding power.
