Galvanized Portion of Anchor Bolts
Galvanized Portion of Anchor Bolts
(OP)
Hi,
Is galvanizing full length of anchor bolts necessary for galvanized bolts or galvanizing the protruded portion only will suffice.
Any guidance is appreciated.

So: Galv all exposed, plus two inches and you should be fine, but I wouldn't be messing with something so well established "just because".
More to the point, I would wonder why you would want to go to the extra bother to only galv a portion of the bolts. We aren't talking about much zinc here!

Here is a link to a galvanizer that supports Duwe6 with the following statement:
"Anchoring devices (such as threaded rods and anchor bolts) are sometimes specified to be galvanized in the threaded areas only or in the areas to be exposed above ground. This can be more expensive than galvanizing the complete unit because of the additional handling required."
See "Threaded Parts" near the bottom of the link for this quote:

Poured in place in inertia blocks indoors. Some washdown etc from time-to-time.
