Wedge Anchors in CMU?
Wedge Anchors in CMU?
(OP)
Are there any wedge anchors that can be used in typical CMU's? Loads I am dealing with are very low....a few hundred pounds in shear.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Check out their load tables online here: HILTI Sleeve Anchors
And Simpson Strong-Tie has similar anchors found here: Simpson anchors
These are mechanical anchors - there are also many screw-type and adhesive anchors that you could consider.

Unless the wall is fully grouted, I would not use any expansive anchors in a CMU wall for the same reason you don't put an expansion anchor next to the edge of any concrete.

I agree and I am checking on drawings to see if the wall is grouted.
