HW-340 Malleable Iron Wedge Inserts

HW-340 Malleable Iron Wedge Inserts are embedded into concrete slabs to allow for secure and adjustable attachment of materials to a concrete structure.

HW-340 Standard Wedge Insert must be installed at least 1-1/2" from bottom of slab.
Nail holes in the back of the insert allow easy nailing to forms.
When the forms are stripped, the open face of the insert is flush with the concrete.
The beveled head of the askew head bolt engages the internal wedge shape of the insert and produces an automatic tightening action when a load is placed on it.
