Greenlee 868 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Greenlee 868 anchor expander tool used for?
The Greenlee 868 is a setting tool for expansive screw anchors (caulking anchors) in masonry. You drop the anchor in the hole, run the tool down onto it, and the tool expands the anchor so it grips. It sets anchors in masonry regardless of the thickness of the material, and it's made from hardened alloy steel so it stands up to repeated driving. It is not a drill bit and not an anchor itself, it's the tool that sets the anchor.
2) Can I buy replacement parts for the Greenlee 868 expander, or do I replace the whole tool?
The wear parts are serviceable. The anchor screw is part 4457AV, listed as the anchor screw for the 868, and the roll pin is 1125GB, 1/4 inch by 1-1/8 inch. Those are the two pieces that take the abuse on a setting tool, so a crew running anchors all week can keep a spare screw and pin on the truck rather than buying another tool.
3) Do I get one tool or a set when I order the Greenlee 868?
One tool, packaged 1 per box. Ordering the 868 gets you the single 1/4"-20 expander, not a multi-size kit, so if your job runs more than one anchor diameter you'll be ordering an expander per size.
4) Is a caulking anchor the right choice for fastening into concrete, or should I use a different anchor type?
Caulking anchors, the type the Greenlee 868 sets, are a machine-screw anchor: the anchor is set flush in the hole first, then a 1/4"-20 bolt threads into it. That's what you want when the fixture has to come off and go back on, or when you're setting anchors ahead of the fixture arriving. If the fixture is going up once and staying, a wedge or sleeve anchor is quicker because it goes in through the fixture in one step and needs no setting tool at all. The trade is that a wedge anchor leaves a stud sticking out of the wall and a caulking anchor doesn't.
5) Is the Greenlee 868 screw anchor expander made in the USA?
Yes, the 868 expander is manufactured in the United States. That matters on public work and institutional contracts where domestic sourcing is a line item on the submittal, so it's worth noting on the purchase order.
