Metallics TS4085 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics TS4085 wedge anchor?
The TS4085 is a 1/2 inch diameter wedge anchor, so it goes into a 1/2 inch hole drilled with a carbide hammer-drill bit. Wedge anchors are sized so the nominal anchor diameter equals the bit diameter, and the hole is drilled deeper than the embedment to take the drill dust.
2) Is the 8-1/2 inch length on the Metallics TS4085 the embedment depth?
No. The 8-1/2 inches is the overall anchor length, 1/2 x 8-1/2. Part of that length is taken up by the material you are fastening through plus the nut and washer, and the rest is embedded in the concrete. On a long anchor like this you size it so the clip end sits well below the surface after the fixture thickness is subtracted.
3) Can I use the Metallics TS4085 wedge anchor in block or brick instead of concrete?
Wedge anchors like the TS4085 are for solid concrete only. In hollow block, brick, or grouted masonry the expansion clip has nothing solid to bear against, and you should use a sleeve anchor, a screw anchor rated for masonry, or an adhesive anchor with a screen tube instead.
4) Is the Metallics TS4085 anchor okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The TS4085 is steel with a zinc plating, which is a general-purpose indoor or protected-location finish. Zinc plating gives limited corrosion protection, so for exterior exposure, wet areas, or anywhere chlorides are present, a stainless or hot-dip galvanized wedge anchor is the right call.
5) How many anchors come in a box of Metallics TS4085?
Each box of TS4085 holds 25 anchors, and nuts and washers come assembled on wedge anchors, so nothing extra is needed to set them other than a 1/2 inch carbide bit, a hammer drill, and a wrench.
6) Can a Metallics TS4085 wedge anchor be removed and reused?
No. Once a wedge anchor is set, the expansion clip is permanently wedged in the hole. The nut can come off and the fixture can be swapped, but the anchor body stays. If you need the fastener to be removable from the concrete, use a drop-in anchor with a threaded bolt instead.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/2 x 8-1/2 zinc wedge anchor?
The manufacturer part number is TS4085, a Metallics 1/2 x 8-1/2 steel zinc-plated wedge anchor sold 25 to a box.
