CONFAST SAA14214 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the CONFAST 1/4 inch acorn sleeve anchor?
Drill with a 1/4 inch carbide bit. A sleeve anchor uses the same bit size as the anchor diameter, so the 1/4 inch CONFAST SAA takes a 1/4 inch hole in concrete or masonry. Drill deeper than the anchor length so dust can settle out of the way. Minimum embedment is 1 inch on the 1-3/8 inch and 2-1/4 inch anchors, and 1/2 inch on the 5/8 inch anchor.
2) How thick a fixture can I bolt down with each length of the CONFAST acorn sleeve anchor?
That is what picks the length. The 1/4 x 5/8 inch anchor handles fixtures up to 1/8 inch thick, the 1/4 x 1-3/8 inch handles up to 3/8 inch, and the 1/4 x 2-1/4 inch handles up to 1-1/4 inch. Add your fixture thickness to the required embedment (1 inch on the two longer sizes) and choose accordingly. Too long is not a problem if you drill deep enough; too short and you will run out of embedment.
3) What hole diameter does my bracket need for the CONFAST sleeve anchor to pass through?
The fixture hole needs to be at least 5/16 inch when the anchor is installed in place. That is slightly larger than the 1/4 inch bit size because the sleeve body sits over the stud. If your bracket or plate is drilled tight at 1/4 inch, ream it out before you set the anchor.
4) How close to the edge of a concrete slab can I set these anchors, and how far apart?
Keep the CONFAST 1/4 inch sleeve anchor at least 1-1/4 inch from a free edge and space anchors at least 2-1/2 inch apart. Going tighter than that risks spalling the concrete at the edge or letting adjacent expansion zones interfere, which costs you holding value.
5) Can I use CONFAST zinc plated sleeve anchors outdoors or in a wet area?
These are rated for dry locations. The zinc plating gives some corrosion resistance for interior commercial and industrial use, but it is not a stainless or hot-dip anchor. For exterior exposure, washdown areas, coastal sites, or anywhere standing moisture is likely, specify a stainless steel sleeve anchor instead.
6) What are the pull-out and shear values on the CONFAST 1/4 inch acorn sleeve anchor?
Both the 1/4 x 1-3/8 inch and 1/4 x 2-1/4 inch sizes list 682 lbs pull-out and 840 lbs shear. The short 1/4 x 5/8 inch drops to 168 lbs pull-out and 750 lbs shear because it only gets 1/2 inch of embedment. If you are hanging anything with real tension load on it, use one of the longer two. These are test values, not allowable design loads, so apply your own safety factor.
7) What wrench and thread do the acorn nuts on these anchors take?
The acorn nut takes a 7/16 inch wrench or socket, and the stud is threaded 3/16-24. Tighten until the fixture is snug and the sleeve has expanded; over-torquing a small sleeve anchor will strip the thread or spin the sleeve in the hole.
8) Why choose an acorn head sleeve anchor over a standard hex nut version?
The acorn nut is a domed cap that covers the exposed stud thread after install, so you get a finished look and nothing sharp sticking out. That matters on exposed mounting in retail buildouts, handrail brackets, or anywhere a hand or a shoulder can reach the fastener. The trade-off is that the dome is closed, so you cannot run the nut further down the stud than it was built for. If you need to stack washers or adjust depth later, use a hex-nut sleeve anchor instead.
9) How many anchors come in a box, and are all three sizes sold the same way?
Each box holds 100 anchors, and that applies across the 1/4 x 5/8 inch, 1/4 x 1-3/8 inch, and 1/4 x 2-1/4 inch sizes. Nuts are on the studs, so there is nothing else to order to complete the fastener itself, just the 1/4 inch carbide bit and a 7/16 inch wrench.
