Metallics TS106SS Anchors 1 x 6 Wdg SS (Box 5)

Wedge anchors are drilled with a carbide bit matching the anchor diameter, so the 1 inch TS106SS goes into a 1 inch hole. The hole has to be drilled deeper than the embedment so the anchor can be driven flush or set below the surface, and it should be blown clean before setting or the clip will not expand properly.

No. A wedge anchor needs solid base material to expand against, so the TS106SS is for poured concrete only. In hollow CMU or brick you want a sleeve anchor, a screw anchor rated for block, or an epoxy and screen tube system instead. Running a 1 inch wedge anchor into a hollow cell will spall the face shell and hold almost nothing.

Stainless is what you use where the anchor sees water, washdown, or salt air: exterior pads, rooftop equipment curbs, parking structures, pool and kitchen areas, coastal sites. The TS106SS is the stainless version, so the body and the expansion clip both resist corrosion. For dry interior slab work, a plated carbon steel wedge anchor of the same 1 x 6 size does the same mechanical job at lower cost.

Wedge anchors ship as a complete assembly: threaded stud, expansion clip, nut and washer already on the bolt. You set the anchor through the fixture hole, then torque the nut, which draws the cone into the clip and locks it in the concrete. No separate hardware to buy, but you do need a 1 inch carbide bit and a torque wrench to set it properly.

Five anchors per box. For a four-bolt equipment base that is one box with a spare; if you are setting multiple bases or a long run of strut or rooftop supports, count your holes and order boxes in multiples of five so you are not short mid-pour-day.
