Metallics JTS407SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wedge anchor is the Metallics JTS407SS?
It's a 1/2-13 x 7 inch stainless steel wedge anchor, sold 25 to a jar. The 1/2-13 is the bolt thread (1/2 inch diameter, 13 threads per inch), and 7 inches is the overall anchor length, which is what gives you embedment in the concrete plus enough stickout for the fixture and nut.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 1/2 inch wedge anchor like the JTS407SS?
A 1/2 inch wedge anchor takes a 1/2 inch carbide bit. Wedge anchors are drilled at the same nominal diameter as the anchor body, so the 1/2-13 JTS407SS goes into a 1/2 inch hole drilled deeper than your embedment to take the dust, then the anchor is driven through the fixture and tightened to set the clip.
3) Can I use the JTS407SS wedge anchor in block or brick?
No. Wedge anchors are for solid, poured concrete only. The clip needs a tight, uniform hole wall to expand against, and hollow block or brick will spall or let the anchor spin without ever setting. For CMU or brick, use a sleeve anchor or a screw anchor rated for masonry instead.
4) Is a stainless wedge anchor worth it for outdoor or wet concrete work?
Yes, and that's the main reason to pick the JTS407SS over a zinc-plated wedge anchor. It's stainless, so it holds up on exterior slabs, parking structures, wash-down areas, rooftops and coastal sites where plated carbon steel anchors rust at the stickout and stain the concrete. For dry interior work indoors a plated anchor does the same mechanical job for less.
5) I need to standardize anchors across a facility. What is the exact part number for the 1/2 x 7 stainless wedge anchor?
Order Metallics part number JTS407SS. That designation covers the 1/2-13 x 7 stainless steel wedge anchor in the 25-count jar, so it's the number to put on a repeat requisition or a standardization list for electrical strut, equipment pads and conduit rack anchoring.
6) What hardware comes with Metallics wedge anchors, and do I need anything else?
Wedge anchors ship as a complete assembly: threaded stud, expansion clip, nut and washer, so nothing extra is needed on the anchor itself. You supply the tooling, a 1/2 inch carbide bit, a rotary hammer, a blow-out bulb or vacuum to clear the hole, and a torque wrench to pull the anchor up. The JTS407SS comes 25 per jar.
