Metallics J1415T – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics J1415T hammer drive anchor?
The J1415T is a 1/4 inch diameter hammer drive anchor, so the hole in the masonry is drilled with a 1/4 inch carbide bit and the anchor is driven in with a hammer. Overall anchor length is 1-1/2 inches, so the hole has to be drilled deeper than the fixture thickness plus the embedment you want, never shallower than the anchor length.
2) Can I use a 1/4 x 1-1/2 truss head hammer drive anchor to mount conduit straps and boxes to concrete block?
That is exactly what it is for. Hammer drive anchors in 1/4 x 1-1/2 are a standard electrical fastener for securing straps, clamps, boxes and brackets to concrete, block and brick. The truss head gives a wide, low-profile bearing surface that holds thin stamped straps and box ears without pulling through.
3) Is a hammer drive anchor removable, or should I use a sleeve or wedge anchor instead?
Hammer drive anchors like the J1415T are a permanent, one-shot fastener. The pin is driven flush and the anchor is not meant to be backed out or reused, so removal usually means grinding or drilling the head off. If the fixture has to come down for service, or if you need a tensioned connection you can torque and re-torque, choose a threaded anchor such as a sleeve or wedge anchor instead. For light, permanent attachment of straps and boxes to masonry, the hammer drive is quicker and cheaper per hole.
4) Will a hammer drive anchor hold in drywall or hollow block webs?
No. A drive anchor relies on the pin expanding the body against solid material, so it needs solid concrete, grout-filled block, brick or stone. Drilled into drywall, a hollow block cell or soft mortar joint, it will spin or pull straight out. Use a toggle or hollow-wall anchor for drywall, and land the 1/4 x 1-1/2 drive anchor in the solid face shell or a filled cell.
5) How many anchors come in a jar of the Metallics J1415T?
Each jar holds 100 of the 1/4 x 1-1/2 truss head hammer drive anchors. For a crew running conduit on block walls, that is a single jar per van rather than counting loose pieces, and reordering is by the jar under part number J1415T.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4 x 1-1/2 truss head drive anchor?
Order it as Metallics J1415T. That number covers the 1/4 inch by 1-1/2 inch truss head hammer drive anchor supplied in a 100-piece jar, and it is the only configuration under that number, so there is no size or finish option to specify on the order.
