Anchor Bolts

In industrial facilities such as gas plants, refineries, and chemical processing plants, anchor bolts are essential for securing tall, process-critical towers and other equipment to their concrete foundations. These fasteners ensure long-term structural integrity under extreme operating conditions — including high pressure, elevated temperatures, wind loads, and chemical exposure.

At INDUSTRIAL FASTENERS DIRECT, we offer anchor bolts as follows:

​​

  • Custom Configurations: L-bolts, J-bolts, straight rods, and fully threaded bars

  • Size Range: Diameters from 1/2" to 3", available in a wide range of lengths

  • Coating Options: Hot-dip galvanized, zinc-plated, epoxy, and others per spec

  • ASTM Compliance:

    • ASTM F1554 (Grades 36, 55, and 105)

    • ASTM A449

    • ASTM A307 for general-purpose applications

    • Other ASTM grades available upon request based on engineering or project specifications

  • Full Assemblies Provided: Heavy hex nuts, washers, and template hardware as needed

Typical Tower Applications

  • De-Methanizer Towers
    Key in natural gas processing to remove methane and separate heavier hydrocarbons — often tall and high-pressure, requiring strong anchoring systems.

  • Amine Contactors & Stills
    Used in acid gas removal units for CO₂ and H₂S treatment — anchor bolts secure these vessels against vibration and process-related stresses.

  • Distillation & Fractionation Columns
    Heavy-duty towers for separating hydrocarbon streams — must be firmly anchored to withstand temperature cycling and load shifts.

  • Flare Stacks
    Exposed vertical structures used to safely burn off excess gases — require heat- and wind-resistant foundation fasteners.

  • Absorbers & Strippers
    Found in refining and chemical plants — typically tall vessels that need robust anchoring to handle side loads and pressure cycling.

  • Cooling Towers
    Subject to constant moisture and airflow — require corrosion-resistant anchor bolts and coatings.
