Technical Specifications
Lag shield anchors have numerous technical specifications that should be considered before installation. Both short and long lag shields are available. Bolt size and anchor length vary when using this type of concrete fastener. They are made of rust-resistant zinc die cast alloy and can be used under dead, variable, or vibratory conditions. These concrete anchors can withhold 3000 PSI concrete tensions of up to 7000.

*Values shown are average ultimate values and are offered only as a guide and are not guaranteed. A safety factor of 4:1 or 25% is generally
accepted as a safe working load. Reference should be made to applicable codes for the specific working ratio. *Tested by ATEC in accordance
with ASTM E488-90 and ICBO Minimum embedment for satisfactory anchor performance is 4-1/2 bolt diameters. Deeper embedment will
yield higher tension and shear capacity.
