Can someone tell me what type of anchor this is? Need to move a ledger board down by about 16 inches and want to use a similar type of anchor. This one was installed about 35 years ago.

Looks like a regular run of the mill wedge anchor...

What field of construction you say you are in???

Sorta like this....

But it could very well be as Griz said. A wedge anchor.

I say sleeve because that's what's used normally used in brick.

Thanks. I suspected that much. Will use double expansion anchors for the new ones though.

I guess the sleeve one makes more sense for brick. I am more comfortable to replace them with double expansion though.

I hope it's not structural going into that brick.

What is this ledger holding?

A deck? 😳

Roof of a 6x12 shed.

You can't use brick veneer to support any load other than its own weight.

 

[Calidecks]

What's on the other side of that brick?

if its continuous except for 1 cut around the threaded shaft its a sleeve anchor

at first I thought that sleeve anchor wasn't embedded far enough because the collapsable part was visible, but the solid part of most brick (they have holes you know) is ~1" thick, it made a bit more sense. a tube of fast setting epoxy anchor is an option here.

alot of people won't care, but you're not supposed to mount a deck off of brick. JLC ran a helpful article awhile back on this topic.
