Ground Screws | Anchors
American Earth Anchors
American Earth Anchors introduces the PE46-Hex8 to their line of penetrator earth anchors. The Hex8 has been eld tested to 9,000lbs. of downward pressure and
up to 14,000lbs. of pullout strength, and was designed to t a 2" schedule 40 pipe, making it an option for solar panel ground mount racking. The Hex8 can save time and money by replacing concrete footings providing the advantage of no digging, no forms, no pouring, no waiting, and easy leveling by screwing up or down. American Earth Anchors can also make custom brack- ets for any pipe size. www.americanea.com
