Product Overview

The SR Smith 4" Anchor Socket Bronze 1.90 | AS-100B is a 4-inch deep cast bronze deck anchor used to secure pool hand rails, ladders and other deck equipment with 1.90" outside diameter tubing. It is the anchor S.R. Smith recommends for its rails, including the Artisan series and classic Figure 4 hand rails.

The AS-100B uses a cast bronze wedge with a bolt and washer to lock the rail leg tightly in place, and includes a 1/4-20 UNC brass ground screw for bonding. It is suitable for most residential and heavy-duty commercial rail and ladder installations.

Benefits

The bronze wedge design lets you lock the rail or ladder leg firmly in the socket and remove it later when needed. Cast bronze construction resists corrosion in the pool deck environment, and the built-in ground screw makes it easy to bond the anchor as part of the pool's equipotential bonding system.

Specifications

Warranty & Compatibility

Fits rails, ladders and accessories with 1.90" OD tubing only. Each rail or ladder leg needs its own anchor, so a single hand rail typically requires two anchors. Escutcheons are sold separately; the S.R. Smith EP-100F (or EP-100F-MG for salt pools) fits 1.90" tubing. Anchors must be bonded per local electrical code. Professional installation is recommended.
