Why Choose Sleeve Anchor Bolts?

Sleeve anchor bolts are a mechanical expansion fixing that grips securely inside the drilled hole as the nut is tightened. This creates a strong, vibration-resistant fixing suitable for medium and heavy-duty applications.

Benefits include:

  • Heavy-duty load capacity
  • Fast and simple installation
  • Suitable for concrete, brick and block
  • Zinc plated for corrosion resistance
  • Excellent pull-out strength
  • No specialist tools required
  • Ideal for indoor and outdoor applications
  • Professional trade quality

Common Applications

Sleeve anchor bolts are widely used across the construction and engineering industries for fixing:

  • Structural steel
  • Timber frames
  • Wall brackets
  • Steel brackets
  • Base plates
  • Machinery
  • Electrical containment
  • Cable trays
  • Handrails
  • Guard rails
  • Shelving systems
  • Pipe supports
  • Air conditioning units
  • Security barriers
  • Gates
  • Signage
  • Modular buildings
  • Warehouse installations
  • Industrial equipment
  • Racking systems

They are an excellent choice where a secure mechanical fixing is required without the use of chemical anchors.

Suitable Base Materials

Our sleeve anchor bolts are suitable for installation into:

  • Concrete

  • Solid brick
  • Dense concrete block
  • Natural stone

For optimum performance, always install into sound base material and follow the recommended drilling depth.

How Sleeve Anchor Bolts Work

The anchor is inserted into a pre-drilled hole through the fixture being fixed. As the nut is tightened, the cone expands the steel sleeve against the sides of the hole, creating a powerful mechanical grip that locks the anchor securely into the substrate.

This provides immediate load-bearing capacity once installed.

Features

  • Zinc plated steel construction
  • Expansion sleeve design
  • Bolt type anchor
  • Metric threaded fixing
  • High tensile strength
  • Corrosion resistant finish
  • Suitable for medium and heavy loads
  • Quick installation
  • Reliable expansion mechanism
  • Professional trade quality

Available Sizes

Sleeve anchor bolts are commonly available in:

  • M6 Sleeve Anchors
  • M8 Sleeve Anchors
  • M10 Sleeve Anchors
  • M12 Sleeve Anchors
  • M16 Sleeve Anchors

Multiple lengths are available depending on fixture thickness and embedment requirements.

Installation Guide

  1. Drill the correct diameter hole into the concrete or masonry.
  2. Clean out dust from the hole.
  3. Insert the sleeve anchor through the fixture.
  4. Tap into place until fully seated.
  5. Tighten the nut to the recommended torque.
  6. The sleeve expands to create a secure fixing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sleeve anchor bolt used for?

Sleeve anchor bolts are used to securely fix steel, timber, machinery and brackets into concrete, brick and dense blockwork.

Can sleeve anchors be used in brick?

Yes. They perform well in solid brick and dense concrete block. They are not generally recommended for weak or highly perforated masonry unless specified by the manufacturer.

Are sleeve anchors removable?

The fixture can usually be removed, but the anchor body remains permanently embedded in the substrate.

What’s the difference between a sleeve anchor and a through bolt?

Sleeve anchors expand along the length of the sleeve, making them suitable for a wider range of masonry types. Through bolts expand at the end of the anchor and are generally preferred for heavy structural concrete applications.

Do I need a special drill?

Use an SDS hammer drill with the correct masonry drill bit for the anchor diameter.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Zinc-plated sleeve anchors are suitable for many outdoor applications in non-aggressive environments. For coastal or highly corrosive conditions in Ireland, stainless steel sleeve anchors are recommended.
