F1554 Anchor Bolt Availability

F1554 Anchor Bolt Availability

(OP)
I prefer using headed anchor bolts, but it seems that most vendors carry F1554 Gr 36 as hooked rods only.  Does anyone know of a vendor in the Southeast that carries a good stock of F1554 headed anchor bolts?  (I am trying to get away from A307 bolts, because too often the bolts are provided with a threaded length shorter than I would like for use with leveling nuts).

RE: F1554 Anchor Bolt Availability

I don't know that F1554 bolts come headed.  The typical thing to do is to specify a washer and nut at the end to create the bearing surface.  You can calculate what size you need for the dimensions of the washer and the figure the thickness.  

RE: F1554 Anchor Bolt Availability

The ASTM F1554 specification does cover a headed condition however as UcfSE pointed out it is typical to just use threaded F1554 (more commonly available) with a nut tacked to the end of it (and a washer if required to help pullout resistance).
