Metallics TS6512D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics TS6512D wedge anchor?
The TS6512D is a 3/4 inch diameter wedge anchor, so the hole is drilled with a 3/4 inch carbide bit. Wedge anchors are nominal-size anchors: the drill diameter matches the anchor diameter, and the anchor is driven into the hole so the clip expands against the concrete as the nut is tightened. Drill deeper than the embedment you need so dust can settle below the anchor.
2) Can I use a 3/4 x 5-1/2 wedge anchor in block or brick instead of concrete?
No. Wedge anchors like the 3/4 x 5-1/2 TS6512D are for solid, poured concrete only. Hollow block, brick, and mortar joints will not develop the friction the expanding clip relies on, and the anchor can spin or pull out. For hollow masonry use a sleeve anchor or a screw anchor rated for that base material.
3) Is the zinc plating on the Metallics TS6512D okay for outdoor or wet locations?
The TS6512D is steel with zinc plating, which is a dry, indoor-duty finish. It handles incidental moisture but will corrode in standing water, in exterior exposure, or anywhere it sees chlorides or washdown. For rooftop equipment curbs, exterior strut, parking structures, or pool and food-processing areas, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized anchor instead.
4) Can a wedge anchor be removed and reused once it is set?
No. Once the 3/4 x 5-1/2 wedge anchor is driven and tightened, the clip is locked against the concrete permanently. You can back the nut off and take the fixture away, but the anchor body stays in the slab. If the stud is in the way, cut it flush or drive it below the surface and patch. Plan layout before you drill, because a misplaced 3/4 inch anchor leaves a 3/4 inch hole.
5) How many anchors come in a box of Metallics TS6512D?
Ten anchors per package. Each one is a complete assembly: the 3/4 x 5-1/2 anchor body with the expansion clip, plus the nut and washer, so nothing extra is needed to set them other than a 3/4 inch carbide bit, a hammer, and a wrench.
6) Is the TS6512D stud threaded for a standard 3/4 inch nut?
Yes. The threaded stud on the TS6512D takes a standard 3/4-10 UNC nut, and the nut and washer come with the anchor. If you lose one on the job, any grade-appropriate 3/4-10 hex nut will thread on.
