Metallics J12SOT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size anchor is the Metallics J12SOT, and how many come in a jar?
The J12SOT is a 1/2 inch snap-off self-drilling anchor in zinc-plated steel, packed 25 to a jar. One jar covers 25 anchor points, so size the order by how many fixings the job needs rather than by linear footage.
2) Do I need anything else to install the Metallics J12SOT 1/2 inch self-drilling anchor?
Yes. The jar of 25 contains anchors only. You supply the setting tool or driver for the anchor, a rotary hammer to drive it, and the 1/2 inch machine bolts or threaded rod couplings that thread into the set anchor. No bolts or tools are included.
3) Is the Metallics J12SOT the right anchor for drywall or hollow block?
No. A snap-off self-drilling anchor needs solid base material, so it belongs in poured concrete or solid masonry. For drywall use a toggle or self-drilling drywall anchor, and for hollow block use a toggle bolt or sleeve-type hollow wall anchor instead of the J12SOT.
4) What is a snap-off self-drilling anchor used for in concrete?
A self-drilling anchor like the J12SOT cuts its own hole in masonry or concrete using the toothed end, then the shank is snapped off at the score line so the anchor body sits flush in the hole and receives a machine bolt. It is used for hanging conduit, strut, boxes, and similar electrical supports off concrete ceilings and walls.
5) Is the Metallics J12SOT anchor suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The J12SOT body is zinc-plated steel, which is a light corrosion coating meant for dry interior service. For exterior, damp, or corrosive environments, specify a stainless anchor instead.
