Anchor Rod Extension

Anchor rod extensions are designed to provide a connection between installed anchors and guy wires. The primary role of the anchor rod extension is to ensure installed anchors can stretch enough to reach greater depth on firmer soil. The rod distributes pulling stress uniformly on the strands on the guy wire. As a result, the guy wire will not spread, kink, or bend during installation. The installation is done either by hand or by machine.

Key Specifications:

  • Hot dipped galvanized to meet ASTM A153
  • High-strength bolt and nut
  • 1-inch Clevis bolt diameter

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

When Are Anchor Rod Extensions Used?

Anchor rod extensions are used when additional extension is required. This happens when the leading anchor eye falls below grade after the initial installation. This can happen due to wrong specifications during the planning stage, construction errors, or changes in the specifications.

When the above problems arise, there will be a need for deeper installation depths for improved firmness. Instead of returning to the initial stage, the anchor rod extension provides a quick solution.

Applications of the Anchor Rod Extension

The construction industry largely relies on anchor rod extensions to provide the required extensions of the anchors for maximum firmness. The extensions are used in various industries, including building, road, and bridge construction.

The anchor rod extensions are also applicable in utility companies for telephone and electrical pole installations. They help fix the poles firmly on the ground to withstand storms and other natural disasters. They are also used in any construction application that requires fastening and strong anchorage. Their durability and physical strength make them ideal for the job.

How do you extend anchor rods?

Anchor rod extensions work as a connection between the anchors and the guy wire. They provide enough pulling strength while preventing any bending, spreading, or kinking in the process. Installation of the anchor rod extensions can be done either by hand or using a machine, depending on the magnitude of the project.

What are anchor rod extension accessories?

There are no special accessories that come with the anchor rod extension. The single rod is attached to an anchor to provide the needed depth. But depending on what you want to use the extension for, you’ll find some that feature a forged eye for attaching the guy wire.
