How does a wedge anchor work?
The wedge anchor is installed through the fixture into a pre-drilled hole. As the anchor is hammered into the hole, the clip is recessed in the gap of the conical space, allowing the anchor to penetrate the hole. Tightening the nut sets the wedge anchor. As the nut is tightened, the stud is pulled up, making the clip move outward on the tapered space, thus wedging it against the wall of the hole. The wedge anchor, once installed, cannot be removed without damage to the surrounding concrete.
