Wedge Anchors

Wedge Anchors for Concrete and Masonry Fastening

When strength, safety, and code compliance matter, wedge anchors deliver unmatched performance. These heavy-duty concrete fasteners are engineered for high-load applications in both commercial and residential construction. Whether you're anchoring structural supports, equipment bases, racking systems, or guard rails, wedge anchors provide the secure hold needed to meet demanding jobsite requirements.

At Fasteners Plus, we stock a wide range of wedge anchor sizes and finishes to suit your specific needs. Choose from zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanized, and stainless steel options, each offering a different level of corrosion resistance based on your environment. Wedge anchors expand when tightened, locking into place within concrete substrates for a long-lasting hold that won't back out or loosen over time.
