Metallics JTS4234SSD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a stainless wedge anchor outdoors or in a wet location?
Stainless is the reason to pick the JTS4234SSD over a plain zinc wedge anchor. Exterior strut, rooftop equipment rails, pump pads, car wash and pool decks, coastal or chemically damp plants - anywhere a zinc-plated anchor would bleed rust down the concrete face. For dry interior slab work, a plated carbon steel wedge anchor in the same 1/2 x 2-3/4 size does the same mechanical job.
2) Will a 1/2 x 2-3/4 wedge anchor work in hollow block or brick?
No. Wedge anchors expand against the wall of a drilled hole and need solid base material, so they belong in poured concrete. In hollow CMU or brick, the wedge has nothing to grip and can blow through the face shell. Use a sleeve anchor, a screw anchor rated for block, or a tapcon-style masonry screw in that case.
3) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JTS4234SSD?
25 anchors per jar. Metallics packs this one as a jar rather than loose or boxed, which is the usual count for a 1/2 inch wedge anchor on a service truck.
4) Do I need a special drill bit size for a 1/2 inch wedge anchor?
Yes, and it is the one thing people get wrong. A wedge anchor is drilled with a carbide bit matching the anchor diameter, so a 1/2 inch anchor takes a 1/2 inch hammer-drill bit, drilled deeper than the embedment so debris can fall clear. Clean the hole out before you set it or the clip will not expand properly.
5) What do electrical contractors use the Metallics JTS4234SSD for?
Metallics catalogs it as an electrical fastener, and 1/2 inch is the size crews reach for on the heavier anchoring: trapeze and strut supports for conduit runs, transformer and panel mounting feet, generator and rooftop unit rails, and ground rod or equipment pads. The stainless version goes in where the support is exposed to weather.
6) Is the nut and washer included with the JTS4234SSD anchor?
Wedge anchors ship as a complete assembly - the threaded body with the expansion clip, plus the nut and washer already on the stud. The 2-3/4 inch dimension is that full assembled length, so you are not ordering hardware separately.
