CONFAST® Wedge Anchors
Concrete wedge anchors’ design allows them to anchor fixtures into concrete. Concrete wedge anchors work by inserting them into a hole drilled into concrete. The concrete wedge anchor is then expanded, wedging itself securely in the concrete.
USES• CONFAST® wedge anchors are designed to be used in solid concrete.
• They should never be used in CMU block or brick base material.
• Available in a wide range of diameters ranging from 1/4″ to 1-1/4″. The anchor lengths, which depend on the diameter, are from 1-3/4″ to 12″.
• CONFAST® wedge anchors are packaged with the proper size and quantities of nuts and washers.
• Hole size to be drilled in the concrete is equal to the diameter of CONFAST® wedge anchor being installed.
• Available in zinc plated carbon steel for indoor dry applications, hot-dipped galvanized for moist outdoor applications, 304 stainless steel for wet outdoor applications and 316 stainless steel for use in caustic environment.

Harpst told several hundred attendees at the World of Concrete recently that documents can be “weaponized against you…you can weaponize them to be an advocate for you.” Harpst was joined by two of his law firm colleagues, Joseph R. Spoonster and Christine M. Garritano, in Las Vegas for the WOC presentation.
The three lawyers presented several cases to show contractors how to be credible in legal disputes so they can be their own best advocates. “Credibility,” Harpst said, “is the key to success in dispute resolution.”
