Wing Wall Anchors

Features of Wing Wall Anchors

• Higher Quality Wing Wall Anchors:

  Features 1:

  
  

  Cast-In Threaded Socket, Purpose-Designed for Wing Walls

  
  

  The Wing Wall Anchor combines a 1"-8 UNC threaded socket with a purpose-made embedded anchor body for precast culvert wing walls. Cast into the panel during production, it provides a permanent, factory-positioned bolt seat for the concrete footing that projects into the backfill. The HM-FI61 series is offered in 6" and 8" anchor heights with a plated standard finish, and dimensions can be adapted to project drawings.

  
  

  Load Transfer Through the Buried Connection

  
  

  The Wing Wall Anchor is embedded in the precast element that forms the wing wall of a culvert, at the joint where the retaining wall meets the concrete footing placed laterally into the backfilled soil. After the panel is erected, a threaded bolt or tie rod engages the cast-in socket and anchors the footing to the wall, so lateral backfill pressure is transferred into the wall element instead of being carried by site-drilled fixings or chemical anchors. Because the insert is set flush and square to the form during casting, the design geometry, cover and edge conditions assumed by the engineer are preserved. The socket is tapped 1"-8 UNC; anchor heights of 6" and 8" are available; the catalog drawing shows inserts spaced at 6", with a 0.375" anchor bar diameter. Confirm capacities, edge distances and spacing against the current HULK Metal data sheet, since they depend on the actual concrete strength and panel section. The Wing Wall Anchor is a connection anchor, not a lifting anchor.

  
  

  Features 2:

  
  

  Purpose-Built for Wing Wall and Culvert Construction

  
  

  The anchor is fabricated specifically for the precast concrete retaining wall that forms the wing wall of a precast culvert unit, supporting a concrete footing that projects laterally from the wall into the backfilled soil behind it. That defined role simplifies selection: project teams specify a purpose-made insert instead of adapting a general-purpose ferrule to a buried structural connection. The 1"-8 UNC socket and 6" catalog spacing cover the common buried connection, and custom sizes remain available on request.

  
  

  Installation, Quality Control and Specification Practice

  
  

  Fix each anchor to the form before the pour so the threaded opening sits flush with the concrete face and the anchor body is held at the height, edge distance and spacing shown on the approved drawings. A locating jig, screwed plug or taped protector keeps the socket square and keeps slurry out of the threads. Consolidate concrete around the anchor without running vibrators directly against the steel, and never use the insert as a lifting point - lifting operations require a rated lifting anchor system. After stripping, check threads with a go/no-go gauge; the factory performs dimensional and thread inspection before dispatch and can provide batch records on request. Because the finish affects corrosion performance and compatibility with the specified bolt, confirm whether the standard plated finish or an alternative such as galvanized is required for the project, and make sure the bolt engages the full thread depth. Edge distances, spacing and backfill assumptions should be reviewed by the responsible engineer before the connection is loaded.

• Cost-controllable Wing Wall Anchors:

  Clean, Factory-Positioned Connections

  
  

  The socket is cast flush and square against the form, so threads stay clean and aligned exactly where the drawings require. There is no drilling through hardened concrete, no patching and no uncertainty about position on site.

  
  

  Designed for the Buried Wing Wall Joint

  
  

  The HM-FI61 series is made for the precast wing wall-to-footing connection behind a culvert, with a 1"-8 UNC socket, 6" and 8" anchor heights and 6" insert spacing. It removes the guesswork of adapting a general ferrule to a buried joint.

  
  

  Documented Quality and OEM Flexibility

  
  

  Factory inspection records, material documentation and reference drawings support engineering review, while custom threads, heights, bar diameters and finishes are available to customer drawings. HULK engineers confirm application assumptions, edge conditions and specification details before you order.
