Metallics TS6618SSD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a stainless wedge anchor outdoors or in a wet area?
Stainless steel is the reason to pick the TS6618SSD over a zinc plated wedge anchor. It is the version used where the anchor is exposed to weather, washdown, pool chemistry, or coastal air, and where a plated anchor would rust and stain the concrete. For dry interior work, a plated carbon steel wedge anchor of the same 1/2 inch diameter does the same mechanical job.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 1/2 inch wedge anchor?
A wedge anchor is drilled at its nominal diameter, so a 1/2 inch anchor takes a 1/2 inch carbide hammer drill bit. The hole is drilled through the fixture where possible, blown clean, and the anchor driven until the threads and clip pass the surface, then the nut is tightened to expand the wedge against the concrete.
3) Is a 10 inch anchor too long for a 6 inch slab?
Yes, it would be. The TS6618SSD is a 1/2 x 10 anchor, and the hole has to be deeper than the embedded portion, so a thin slab will not take it unless a lot of the length is consumed by the fixture, base plate, or grout you are bolting through. For a standard slab with a thin plate on top, a shorter 1/2 inch wedge anchor is the right call; reserve the 10 inch for thick footings, piers, or deep standoff conditions.
4) How many anchors come in a box of Metallics TS6618SSD?
25 anchors per box, and the Pack Type is a box rather than a bulk carton. For a crew setting equipment bases or strut racks, that is roughly six four-bolt bases per box.
5) Will a wedge anchor hold in block or brick?
Wedge anchors, including the 1/2 x 10 Metallics TS6618SSD, are for solid concrete. Hollow block, brick, and mortar joints do not give the wedge a solid wall to expand against, so those openings call for a sleeve anchor or a screen tube and threaded rod instead.
6) Do I need to buy nuts and washers separately for these anchors?
No. A wedge anchor is supplied as a complete assembly, with the expansion clip, the nut, and the washer already on the threaded stud. The only extras on the job are the 1/2 inch carbide bit, a hammer drill, and a wrench or impact socket to torque the nut.
7) Should the nut and washer be stainless too if I am anchoring stainless strut?
They are. Stainless wedge anchors like the TS6618SSD are supplied with the matching stainless nut and washer, so you are not mixing a plated nut onto a stainless stud and setting up galvanic corrosion at the one point that gets wet first.
