AEROSMITH SAH584140 Carbon Steel Sleeve Anchor 5/8 in. x 4-1/4 in. Hex Head

The Aerosmith Sleeve Anchor Carbon Steel is an all-steel, pre-assembled heavy-duty mechanical anchor designed for fastening into a variety of solid base materials, including concrete and masonry. The SAH584140 is a 5/8 in. x 4-1/4 in. hex-head configuration with zinc-plated carbon-steel components. Its pre-assembled design allows the anchor to be installed directly through the fixture, and the anchor diameter matches the required drill-hole diameter for straightforward installation.

Published Performance Data

For a 5/8 in. sleeve anchor installed at 2 in. minimum embedment in 4,000 psi normal-weight, uncracked concrete, Aerosmith publishes an ultimate tension capacity of 4,560 lb and an ultimate shear capacity of 7,154 lb. Using the manufacturer's minimum safety factor of 4.0, the corresponding published allowable capacities are 1,140 lb tension and 1,788 lb shear. The listed carbon-sleeve-anchor torque for this configuration is 50 ft-lb.

Grout-Filled Block (CMU) Performance

For a 5/8 in. sleeve anchor at 2 in. embedment in grout-filled CMU, Aerosmith publishes ultimate loads of 1,600 lb tension and 2,200 lb shear at 2,000 psi CMU, and 1,946 lb tension and 2,200 lb shear at 3,000 psi CMU. Manufacturer notes require appropriate safety factors and recommend job-site testing where needed to verify base-material and anchor performance.

Technical Notes

Published normal-weight concrete values are for anchors installed in uncracked concrete.
The concrete or CMU must meet the specified minimum compressive strength at the time of installation.
Ultimate concrete load capacities must be reduced by a minimum safety factor of 4.0 to determine allowable loads.
A safety factor of 10 or higher may be necessary depending on the application, including life-safety or overhead conditions.
Always evaluate actual base material, edge distance, spacing, fixture conditions and applicable code requirements for the installation.
