The DeWalt Bang-It+ concrete insert anchors are designed for installation in and through composite steel decks prior to pouring concrete floors or roof slabs. These anchors provide secure hangar attachments for various trades, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire sprinkler systems. The system utilizes color-coded sleeves for easy size identification and protective features to keep threads clean during construction.
Product Overview
The Bang-It+ system features a hex head design that resists rotation within the concrete during rod installation. The protective plastic sleeve serves two purposes: it prevents spray insulation from contaminating the internal threads and allows for overhead attachment of 1/4" to 3/4" steel threaded rods. The carbon steel body and flange include screw holes for secure connection to the steel deck.

The anchors are available in single, double, and triple thread configurations. Each size is color-coded for identification.
Single Thread
- 1/4" (Brown)
- 3/8" (Green)
- 1/2" (Yellow)
- 5/8" (Red)
- 3/4" (Purple)
Double Thread
- 1/4"-3/8" (White)
- 3/8"-1/2" (Grey)

Common problems
Anchor rotation during rod installation
The hex head design is specifically engineered to resist rotation within the concrete.
Spray insulation covering threads
The protective plastic sleeve prevents spray insulation from touching the internal threads.
Before use
- Verify the required thread size (1/4" to 3/4").
- Identify the correct color-coded sleeve for your specific size.
- Ensure you have the compatible installation tools (e.g., Deck Drill Extension, Carbide Hole Saw).
- Confirm the application type (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, or seismic bracing).
Specs in practice
- Color Coding
- Used for easy size identification of the insert.
- Hexagonal Head
- Prevents the anchor from rotating when the threaded rod is being installed.
- Plastic Sleeve
- Protects internal threads from spray insulation and allows for overhead attachment.
