Overview

The Minerallac 62053, a Cully sub-brand product, is a heavy-duty, four-piece steel wedge anchor engineered for robust, full-contact expansion in concrete and stone. This non-bottom bearing anchor delivers superior shear strength compared to light and medium-duty expansion anchors, distributing force evenly within the substrate to minimize pull-out risk in critical load-bearing applications. Constructed from high-strength steel with a zinc-plated finish, the 62053 provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor environments and is RoHS Compliant. Key specifications include a 1/4-inch diameter, 3-1/4-inch overall length, and a minimum embedment depth of 1-1/8 inches. The anchor features 20 coarse threads per inch with a 2-1/4-inch thread length, requiring a 1/4-inch drill bit for installation. The mechanical wedging action ensures secure fastening by engaging the entire anchor surface with the substrate, maximizing holding power. This anchor is ideal for structural and non-structural installations, including mounting lighting fixtures, supporting conduit systems, anchoring machinery bases, installing electrical panels, and securing HVAC equipment. Packaged 100 per box with a master carton quantity of 1000 units, the 62053 is manufactured in the USA and Buy American Act Compliant.
