Hohmann & Barnard Sharktooth Inserts

H&B SHARKTOOTH INSERT

The H&B Sharktooth Insert is a versatile and adjustable masonry insert capable of developing working loads up to 8,000#/ft. in both shear and tension. Its unique serrated shark-tooth design makes it ideal for applications requiring substantial vertical adjustment, while resisting shear and tension loads. This insert can be fabricated in various lengths, from 3" to 12' long, and is customizable to meet project-specific needs, such as radiuses or unique lengths.

FEATURES

• Serrated Shark-Tooth Design: Resists high vertical shear loads, eliminating the potential for vertical slip due to inadequate bolt torque, which is often an issue with wedge-style inserts.
• Adjustable: Allows substantial vertical adjustment along the full length of the insert, making it highly flexible in construction applications.
• No Rebar Interference: Unlike post-installed expansion bolts, rebar interference is not an issue, making installation more efficient.
• No Additional Rebar Hairpins: Not required to develop the published working loads, simplifying the process.
• Weld-Free Installation: No welded connections are required—nut or bolt connections into the insert allow for easy installation and adjustment.
• Bolting Hardware: Uses U.S. standard threads, which are easier to source compared to metric threads.
• Custom Design: Available for special load requirements, offering a tailored solution for your project.
