Metallics 6242L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size sleeve anchor is the Metallics 6242L, and what hole does it need?
The Metallics 6242L is a 5/8 x 4-1/4 inch sleeve anchor supplied with its nut. Sleeve anchors are drilled with a hole the same diameter as the anchor, so a 5/8 inch bit through the fixture and into the concrete, with 4-1/4 inches of total anchor length to split between fixture thickness and embedment.
2) Does the Metallics 6242L come with the nut and washer, or do I buy those separately?
The nut ships with the anchor, so the 5/8 x 4-1/4 inch unit arrives as an assembly ready to set. Nothing else is needed beyond a 5/8 inch masonry bit, a hammer, and a wrench to tighten.
3) How many anchors come in a box of Metallics 6242L?
Fifty pieces per box, each a 5/8 x 4-1/4 inch zinc-plated steel sleeve anchor with nut. If you are anchoring strut, panelboards, or equipment bases across a job, order by the box rather than the piece.
4) Can I use the Metallics 6242L sleeve anchor in hollow block as well as solid concrete?
Yes. A sleeve anchor expands along the length of its sleeve rather than at a single cone, which is why this type is used in concrete, brick, and hollow block alike. The 6242L is the 5/8 x 4-1/4 inch version, zinc-plated steel with the nut included.
5) Is the Metallics 6242L anchor suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
It is zinc-plated steel, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry interior and sheltered use. For sustained exposure to weather, chemicals, or wash-down, specify a stainless sleeve anchor in the same 5/8 inch diameter instead.
6) Should I use a sleeve anchor like the 6242L or a wedge anchor for mounting equipment to a concrete wall?
Wedge anchors are for solid, sound concrete and need the hole drilled past the anchor tip. A sleeve anchor such as the Metallics 6242L, 5/8 x 4-1/4 inches, grips over the full sleeve length, so it is the choice for block and brick walls and for cases where the anchor needs to be removable at the nut. For heavy shear loads in poured concrete, a wedge anchor is the better fit.
