Metallics JTS4234D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics JTS4234D 1/2 inch wedge anchor?
Drill 1/2 inch. Wedge anchors use a hole the same nominal diameter as the anchor, so a 1/2 x 2-3/4 anchor goes into a 1/2 inch carbide-bit hole drilled slightly deeper than the embedment you need, with the dust blown out before you set it.
2) Are Metallics JTS4234D wedge anchors okay to use outdoors or in a wet area?
These are steel with a zinc plating, which is a dry interior finish. Zinc plated anchors will corrode in exterior, damp, or chemically washed-down locations, so for a loading dock, roof curb, or pool deck use a hot dip galvanized or stainless 1/2 inch wedge anchor instead.
3) Will a wedge anchor hold in concrete block or brick, or do I need something else?
Wedge anchors like the 1/2 x 2-3/4 are for solid, cured concrete only. In hollow CMU, brick, or grouted block the expansion clip has nothing solid to bite into near a void and the anchor can spin or blow out the face. Use a sleeve anchor, a screw anchor rated for masonry, or a through bolt with a backing plate in those bases.
4) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JTS4234D?
Fifty 1/2 x 2-3/4 wedge anchors per jar, and the jar is the pack type, so the count is what you receive per unit ordered. Nuts and washers are assembled on wedge anchors as supplied; the carbide drill bit is not.
5) Can I remove a wedge anchor later if I have to move the equipment?
Not really. Once the clip is expanded, a wedge anchor is a permanent mechanical anchor; the most you can do is back the nut off and drive the stud below the slab surface, then patch. If you need to be able to unbolt and reuse the hole, specify a drop in anchor or a threaded insert rather than the 1/2 x 2-3/4 wedge anchor.
6) What are these Metallics anchors typically used for on an electrical job?
Metallics JTS4234D is an electrical-trade fastener, and a 1/2 inch wedge anchor in this length is what crews use to fasten strut channel, trapeze hangers, panel and switchgear base plates, transformer pads, and heavy conduit supports to a concrete slab or wall.
