The M12 size of Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt) is dimensioned by Trade series (torque-controlled expansion anchor). The table below gives the dimensional row from the standard, followed by the installation notes for this type.

Values are taken from the governing standard rather than from a general machine-thread table, because this type is not selected on one.

## M12 Dimensional Row (Trade series (torque-controlled expansion anchor))

| Thread size | Drill hole diameter (mm) | Embedment depth (mm) | Overall length (mm) | Max fixture thickness (mm) | Setting | Material | Base material |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| M12 | 12 | 60 | 110 | 25 | Torque-controlled | Zinc plated steel | Cracked / uncracked concrete |

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

## Need wedge anchors (through-bolt) in a size this table does not list?

This page covers M12 wedge anchors (through-bolt). Length and corrosion protection are the usual specials. The load a fixing will take is decided by the concrete and the edge distance, not by ordering a longer anchor. Made by hot forging or thread rolling.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

## Applications & Industries for M12 Wedge Anchors

Wedge Anchors are bought for a small number of well-defined jobs. These are the ones we ship them for. Stocked from M8 to M20.

### Industries that specify Wedge Anchors

- **Machine hold-down:** Anchoring plant that transmits vibration into the floor.
- **Safety barriers & racking:** Bollards, guard rail and pallet racking feet.
- **Structural steel to concrete:** Column base plates and bracket fixings in a concrete slab.
- **Fit-out & drylining:** Fixings into board, block and hollow wall.
- **Construction & structural:** Base plates, brackets and steelwork fixed to concrete.
- **Building services:** Suspending tray, duct, pipe and sprinkler runs from a soffit.

### Typical applications

- set by tightening the nut to a stated setting torque
- hole diameter equals the anchor diameter
- through-fixing a steel fixture into concrete
- fixing a steel fixture through to a solid substrate
- suspended services on threaded rod
- making a load-bearing threaded fixing in concrete or masonry

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **Exterior structural:** Hot-dip galvanised options for external steelwork; allow for the thicker coating in the mating thread.
- **Hole preparation:** Drilled diameter, depth and cleanliness are part of the specification; an uncleaned hole is the single most common cause of a failed anchor.
- **The concrete governs:** Capacity is a property of the base material and the geometry — grade, edge distance, spacing and cracked or uncracked — not of the anchor alone. Work to the anchor manufacturer's ETA or ICC-ES report.

### Where to use something else

- Not for a substrate the type is not qualified in — an expansion anchor near an edge or in hollow block will split it.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What clearance and tapping drill suit M12?

Use a 13.5 mm clearance hole (ISO 273 medium) for through-fixing, or a 10.25 mm tapping drill for a coarse M12 thread.

### What is the coarse-thread pitch of M12 for Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt)?

For M12 the standard coarse pitch is 1.75 mm — this is the value used for Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt).
