Rag Foundation Bolt

A rag foundation bolt, also known as an indented foundation bolt, is  used to secure structures to concrete foundations. It’s characterized by a tapered body with grooves on all sides, and often has a square or rectangular cross-section. These bolts are designed to be embedded in concrete, providing a strong and reliable connection for various applications.

Rag bolts are commonly used in the construction industry to anchor steel columns, beams, and heavy machinery to concrete foundations. They provide stability for guardrails, signposts, and light poles on bridges and highways. Rag bolts are essential for anchoring heavy machinery that generates significant vibrations, such as those found in power plants and manufacturing facilities. They can also be used in foundation repair and reinforcement projects. In some automotive applications, rag bolts can be used where access to nuts or locking mechanisms is limited, especially for heavy-duty components.
