Steel Wedges are among the most basic and yet unique products our steel fabricating customers use. They are used for almost everything, from separating heavy plates in the shop, to with an erector lift for extremely heavy objects, to shimming stair stringers.

In the case of relieving angles, the typical shim requirements used are almost always require a single slotted. The stock version of this is 3” wide.

For anyone looking to looking to create a post hole before laying down concrete, the process can be a nightmare. Some steel fabricators will use PVC pipe or a hard rubber tube to create the hole, but that rarely ever solves the problem. Often, it can be difficult to keep the pipe or tubing in position while pouring the concrete, and after it can be a headache to remove the tubing once the concrete has set. However, steel fabricators no longer have to worry about setting down post holes—the EZ Sleeve is here!

Things are changing a bit for both structural and miscellaneous steel fabricators. In the past, they have mostly stayed away from anything to do with concrete and the masonry side of the business, including rebar. Their interaction was often limited to welding masonry anchors onto columns and beams. This applied to items such as the wire tie, the Hohmann & Barnard Gripstay or the slotted channel.

Perhaps the second-simplest looking products we manufacture are slotted steel shims (see below for the #1 simplest).

Closing or sealing vent holes in any steel that has been Hot Dip Galvanized can be time consuming and expensive. If the closure is done by welding the Vent Hole shut, the welding process will also do a lot of damage to the galvanized surface.
