Coil Anchor
With Durable Coil Anchor Spacer
This new 3 / 4 -in. x 21 / 2-in. coil anchor is used in the support of EFCO Cunningham parking garage deck panels. The anchors are cast in the ceiling of the parking garage. Since many applications require the coil anchor to be spaced 3 / 4 in. away from the face of the concrete for corrosion or fire-proofing reasons, the manufacturer also has introduced a new 3 / 4 -in. coil anchor spacer that threads on the outside of the coil anchor. The spacer is durable, made of hard plastic and may be reused. EFCO Corp.; 515/313-4212; www/efcoforms.com
