Metallics JELR3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size anchor is the Metallics JELR3 and how many come in a jar?
The Metallics JELR3 is a #12 x 1-3/4 inch blue expansion anchor, packed 100 to a jar. That size is the common pick for mounting boxes, straps, conduit clamps, and light fixtures into masonry, brick, block, and concrete.
2) What drill bit do I need for a #12 blue expansion anchor?
A #12 blue plastic expansion anchor takes a 1/4 inch masonry bit, drilled at least as deep as the 1-3/4 inch anchor length so the anchor seats flush and the screw does not bottom out.
3) Can I use these blue anchors in drywall?
No. Blue expansion anchors like the JELR3 need a solid substrate, concrete, block, brick, or mortar, so the sleeve has something to grip as the screw spreads it. In hollow drywall it will spin or pull straight back out. Use a toggle or a self-drilling drywall anchor for gypsum board instead.
4) What screw goes with the Metallics JELR3 anchor, and is it included?
Screws are not part of the JELR3 pack, the jar of 100 is anchors only. Pair each one with a #12 sheet metal or pan head screw long enough to pass through your fixture and still engage most of the 1-3/4 inch anchor body.
5) Is the Metallics JELR3 the right anchor for mounting conduit straps and device boxes to block walls?
Yes, that is the typical use. A #12 x 1-3/4 inch anchor carries the light static loads of conduit straps, one-hole clamps, 4-square boxes, and small fixture canopies on concrete or CMU. For heavy equipment, transformers, or anything with vibration or overhead pull-out, step up to a wedge or sleeve anchor rather than a plastic expansion anchor.
6) Are these anchors suitable for outdoor or damp electrical work?
The plastic sleeve itself does not rust, which is why blue expansion anchors get used in damp block walls and exterior masonry. The limiting part is the screw, so specify a stainless or coated screw for anything outdoors or in a wet location.
7) Is JELR3 the part number I order from Metallics?
JELR3 is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the #12 x 1-3/4 inch blue expansion anchor in the 100-count jar. One model, one pack size, no finish or length options to specify.
