Metallics JTS312SSD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics JTS312SSD 3/8 inch wedge anchor?
Wedge anchors are drilled to match the anchor's nominal diameter, so the JTS312SSD at 3/8-16 x 3-3/4 goes into a 3/8 inch hole drilled with a carbide bit in concrete. Drill the hole deeper than the embedment you need so dust can settle below the anchor, blow it clean, then drive the anchor through the fixture and tighten the nut to expand the clip.
2) Can I use this Metallics wedge anchor in a block wall or in hollow CMB?
No. The JTS312SSD is a wedge anchor, which needs solid base material to expand against, so it is for poured concrete only. Hollow block, mortar joints, brick and drywall will not hold it. For hollow CMU use a sleeve anchor or a toggle rated for the wall, not a wedge anchor.
3) What thread size do I need on the nut for the Metallics JTS312SSD anchor?
The anchor is threaded 3/8-16, so any standard 3/8-16 nut, washer or threaded fitting mates with it. A nut and washer come as part of a wedge anchor assembly, so you are not buying them separately.
4) When should I pick a 3/8 inch wedge anchor over a drop-in anchor for hanging equipment from concrete?
A wedge anchor like the JTS312SSD is driven through the fixture and tightened in place, which makes it quicker where you can set the hardware and the anchor in one pass, and it leaves a stud protruding. A drop-in anchor is set flush in the slab and takes a removable bolt, which is what you want when the item has to come off and go back on, or when a stud sticking out of the ceiling is a problem. For permanent strut, racks and strap mounting, the wedge anchor is the normal choice.
5) Can the Metallics JTS312SSD wedge anchor be removed and reused?
No. Once the nut is torqued, the clip wedges against the concrete and the anchor is permanent. You can back the nut off to free the fixture, but the body stays in the slab. If you need removable fastening, use a drop-in or an internally threaded anchor instead.
6) How many anchors come in a jar of the Metallics JTS312SSD?
One hundred anchors per jar, all 3/8-16 x 3-3/4, US made. That quantity suits a crew setting repeated hangers or strut runs rather than a one-off repair.
