Metallics M6403SD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size do the Metallics M6403SD internally threaded anchors take?
The M6403SD Snake+ anchor is an internally threaded anchor sized for 1/2-13 bolts or threaded rod, so whatever you hang off it needs a 1/2 inch UNC thread (13 threads per inch). The anchor sets in the base material and the bolt threads into it, which means you can remove and re-install the bolt without disturbing the anchor.
2) Can I use a 1/2-13 internally threaded anchor to hang electrical conduit and strut?
That is exactly what the Metallics M6403SD is stocked for. It is catalogued on the electrical side of the fastener line, and an internally threaded 1/2-13 anchor is the standard way to pick up 1/2 inch threaded rod for trapeze hangers, strut channel, pipe clamps, and junction box or panel mounting off concrete. Because the thread is internal, the rod can be cut to length on site and backed out later without pulling the anchor.
3) How many Metallics M6403SD anchors come in a jar?
They ship 50 to a jar, packaged as a single jar rather than loose or bulk boxed. That is one order unit of 50 anchors, which is the quantity to plan around if you are laying out a run of unistrut, pipe hangers, or equipment bases.
4) Is the M6403SD anchor steel or stainless?
The M6403SD Snake+ is a steel anchor. For exposed exterior work or wet, corrosive environments, specify a stainless or coated anchor instead; plain steel belongs in dry interior concrete.
5) What is the difference between an internally threaded anchor like the M6403SD and a wedge anchor?
A wedge anchor is a stud that sticks permanently out of the slab, so the bolt length is fixed the moment you set it. The M6403SD is internally threaded: it sets flush and you thread 1/2-13 bolts or rod into it, so the fixture can be unbolted and re-bolted, and nothing protrudes while you are still working. Use the internally threaded type for overhead hanging and for anything you expect to service; use a wedge anchor where a permanent through-bolted base plate is acceptable.
6) How do I order the Metallics Snake+ anchor in 1/2-13?
Order Metallics part number M6403SD. That single part number covers the 1/2-13 Snake+ internally threaded steel anchor in the 50 count jar, so there is no finish or length option to pick.
