What the AI looks for in Sleeve Anchors
- Hole diameter
- The bit size equals the anchor diameter. Any oversizing defeats the sleeve's expansion.
- Base material
- Sleeve anchors suit brick and block better than wedge anchors. The full-length sleeve spreads the expansion force.
- Torque
- Tighten to the published installation torque, no more. Over-torquing spins the sleeve or cracks the masonry.
Brands that matter
- Red Head: Dynabolt sleeve anchors.
- Simpson Strong-Tie: Sleeve-All.
- Hilti: HLC and HSL sleeve anchors.
What to avoid
- Zinc-plated sleeve anchors on exterior masonry
