Metallics J5030SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the J5030SS sleeve anchor stainless steel?
Yes, the J5030SS is the stainless steel version of the 1/2 x 3 sleeve anchor, which is why electrical contractors reach for it on exterior strut, outdoor enclosure, and wash-down mounting where a plated carbon steel anchor would rust out.
2) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics J5030SS?
Each jar holds 25 anchors with nuts. The jar pack is the standard put-up for this item, so order quantities step in units of 25.
3) What hole size do I drill for a 1/2 inch sleeve anchor like the J5030SS?
Sleeve anchors are drilled at the same nominal size as the anchor, so a 1/2 inch anchor goes in a 1/2 inch carbide bit hole drilled deeper than the anchor's embedment to take the dust. With a 3 inch anchor length, subtract your fixture thickness to know how much body is left in the base material.
4) Can I use the J5030SS in hollow block as well as solid concrete?
Sleeve anchors are the go-to when the base material varies, because the expanding sleeve spreads load over a longer area than a wedge anchor and works in concrete, brick, and hollow block. The J5030SS is that style of anchor in 1/2 x 3 stainless.
5) Is the J5030SS a wedge anchor or a drop-in anchor?
Neither. It is a sleeve anchor: a bolt inside an expansion sleeve, set through the fixture in a hole the same diameter as the anchor and tightened with the supplied nut. A wedge anchor is for solid concrete only and is not removable; a drop-in needs a setting tool and a separate machine bolt. Pick the sleeve anchor when you want through-fixture installation and a single part that covers block as well as concrete.
