Metallics J1403 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screw size do Metallics J1403 lead anchors take?
The Metallics J1403 lead anchors are sized for 10-24 machine screws. The screw itself is not included, so order 10-24 machine screws in the length you need for your fixture thickness plus anchor depth.
2) Can I use a lead machine screw anchor like the J1403 in drywall or hollow block?
No. A lead machine screw anchor is a solid-base anchor. It works by expanding against the sides of a drilled hole in concrete, brick, or solid masonry. In drywall or a hollow block cell there is nothing for the lead to compress against, so use a toggle or hollow-wall anchor there instead.
3) Does the J1403 lead anchor come with a setting tool?
Yes. Each jar of Metallics J1403 10-24 lead anchors ships with a setting tool, so you can expand the anchor in the hole without hunting down a separate driver. The tool is what flares the lead sleeve against the masonry once the anchor is seated.
4) What is the J1403 lead anchor typically used for on electrical jobs?
It is an electrical-trade fastener for anchoring into masonry: conduit straps, strut, pull boxes, device boxes, and light fixture backplates on concrete or brick. Because it takes a 10-24 machine screw, the fixture can be removed and reinstalled on the same anchor, which plain screw-type masonry anchors do not allow.
5) How many anchors are in a jar of Metallics J1403?
100 anchors per jar, packed in a jar rather than a box, which is the format most electricians and maintenance shops keep on the truck or bench for repeat conduit-strap and box-mounting work.
6) Is a lead machine screw anchor reusable if I take the fixture off?
The anchor stays set in the masonry once expanded; the 10-24 machine screw backs out and threads back in, so the mounting point is reusable even though the anchor body is permanent. That is the main reason spec and MRO work still calls for lead machine screw anchors over one-shot drive anchors.
