1/2 X 12 J Anchor Bolt
1/2 X 12 J Anchor Bolt
The 1/2 x 12 J Anchor Bolt is an essential piece of construction hardware designed to anchor structural components securely into concrete foundations. Its J-shaped bend provides strong resistance to pull-out forces, making it ideal for securing sill plates, columns, and equipment.
- Low Carbon Steel
- ASTM A307 Compliant
- 60,000 psi (min)
- Concrete Foundation Anchoring
This industrial-grade J anchor bolt is manufactured from high-quality low carbon steel, meeting the material and strength requirements of the ASTM A307 standard. This specification ensures a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi, providing dependable holding power for light to medium-duty applications. The bolt's plain or zinc-plated finish offers a baseline of corrosion resistance suitable for embedment in concrete. Its precise dimensions—a 1/2-inch diameter and a 12-inch length—are engineered for common construction and framing projects, ensuring compatibility with standard building practices.
Primarily used in construction and framing, the J Anchor Bolt is set into wet concrete foundations, slabs, or footings. Once the concrete cures, the embedded J-hook provides a secure anchor point for attaching sill plates, structural steel columns, light poles, and heavy machinery. It is a critical component for ensuring the stability of wooden and steel structures by creating a strong, permanent connection to the concrete base. These bolts are a staple for MRO supplies and commercial construction projects throughout the Los Angeles area.

Target Users
This product is essential for general contractors, concrete contractors, steel erectors, and maintenance crews involved in new construction or industrial MRO projects.
Finish Options
Our 1/2 x 12 J Anchor Bolts are available in several finishes to meet project requirements. Options include plain (black) steel for interior applications, zinc-plated for moderate corrosion resistance, and hot-dip galvanized (HDG) for superior protection in outdoor or corrosive environments.
How to Measure
J Anchor Bolts are specified by Diameter (D) x Length (L). The length is measured from the end of the threaded portion to the bottom of the J-bend. The hook dimension is typically standard for the bolt diameter.
Example: To order this specific product, specify "1/2" x 12" J Anchor Bolt, ASTM A307, Hot-Dip Galvanized".
