Understanding Rebar Anchors: Couplers for Steel Columns and Beams
Rebar Anchors
An Important Link in the Structural Connection
The primary function of the Weldable Rebar Anchor is to anchor rebar to structural steel columns and beams. The secondary benefit is to install a coupling that can withstand welding and thereby avoid welding the rebar directly to the steel.
Simplify Connections: Coupling Nuts, Reducers & Opposing Threads
Coupling nuts follow the basic principles of all Nuts and Fasteners.
Thread Engagement is equal to or greater than the Bolt Diameter
With typical Finished and Heavy Hex Nuts assuring the threaded round bar is engaged to maximum strength is as simple as threading through the entire length of the nut. With Coupling Nuts the connection is often blind so it is important to gage the rod as the nut winds on. (Note: Coupling nuts can be manufactured with a site hole in the mid-point to assure full engagement.)
Shim Production
Use Caution and the Correct Equipment
The Slotted Steel Shim is probably the most basic of all the Construction Product Lines The Steel Supply Company offers. Yet as simple as it is the shim should still be manufactured with accuracy and attention to quality.

Maximize Project Efficiency with Reliable Wedge Inserts and Relieving Angles: Strength, Availability, and Precision
With any project calling for embedded Wedge Inserts the important criteria are;
Pull Out Strength, Cavity Dimensions, Askew Head Bolt Dimensions, Taped Face.
But equally important, Availability.
Availability - Wedge Inserts, like Anchor Bolts, have to be coordinated with a concrete pour schedule. In short that means, “Have them on time.” To ensure the Wedge Inserts your project requires are available when you need them The Steel Supply Company keeps ample inventory and safety stock well in advance.
