Metallics DIABST14-SDS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size rod or bolt does the Metallics DIABST14-SDS drop-in anchor take?
The Metallics DIABST14-SDS is a 1/4 inch drop-in anchor, so it is internally threaded for 1/4-20 threaded rod or machine bolts. Drop-in anchors are set flush with the concrete surface, which lets you thread hardware in and out without disturbing the anchor, useful for hanging strut, conduit clamps, or fixture rods that may be removed later.
2) Is the DIABST14-SDS drilled with an SDS-Plus bit?
Yes. The DIABST14-SDS is the SDS-Plus version of the Metallics 1/4 inch drop-in anchor, so it is sized to drop into a hole drilled with an SDS-Plus carbide bit in a rotary hammer. If your crew runs standard SDS-Plus bits, this is the matching anchor; it is not intended for a hole drilled to a different diameter standard.
3) Can I use a 1/4 inch drop-in anchor in hollow block or drywall?
No. Drop-in anchors like the Metallics 1/4 inch DIABST14-SDS are expansion anchors for solid base material, set by driving an internal plug with a setting tool after the hole is drilled. In hollow block cells, drywall, or other hollow substrates there is nothing for the anchor to expand against, so you need a toggle or hollow-wall anchor instead.
4) Do I need a separate setting tool for the Metallics DIABST14-SDS anchor?
Yes, a setting tool matched to the 1/4 inch size is required and is not part of the anchor itself. The anchor ships as the anchor body only, so order the setting punch for 1/4 inch drop-ins along with your threaded rod or bolts to complete the job.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4 inch SDS-Plus drop-in anchor?
Order it as Metallics DIABST14-SDS. That is the single model covering the 1/4 inch SDS-Plus drop-in anchor, so there are no further size or thread options to specify on it.
