Metallics J5040SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a sleeve anchor work in hollow block, or do I need something else?
Sleeve anchors like the 1/2 x 4 J5040SS are designed to expand against the wall of the hole as the nut is tightened, which is why they are used in concrete, brick and block. In hollow block the expansion sleeve needs to be set in a solid web or the cell wall will crush; for truly hollow walls a toggle-style anchor is the right choice instead. For solid concrete, the stainless construction is what makes this one suited to damp or exterior locations where a zinc-plated anchor would rust.
2) What drill bit size do I use for a 1/2 inch sleeve anchor?
A 1/2 inch sleeve anchor is set in a 1/2 inch hole. The sleeve matches the nominal anchor diameter, so you drill with a 1/2 inch carbide bit, clean the hole, drive the anchor through the fixture, then tighten the nut to expand the sleeve. Hole depth needs to exceed the embedment you are using out of the 4 inch overall length.
3) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics J5040SS?
Each jar holds 25 of the 1/2 x 4 inch stainless sleeve anchors, nuts included. Packaging is a jar rather than a bulk box, so it's sized for a service truck or a single install rather than a large structural run.
4) Is the nut included with the Metallics J5040SS anchor, or do I buy that separately?
The nut ships with the anchor. Each of the 25 pieces in the jar is a complete 1/2 x 4 inch stainless sleeve anchor with its nut, so nothing extra is needed to make the fastening apart from a washer if your application calls for one.
5) Are these stainless anchors suitable for outdoor or wet electrical mounting?
Stainless steel is the reason to pick the J5040SS over a plated sleeve anchor. It is the version an electrical contractor reaches for when mounting strut, enclosures or conduit supports outdoors, in wash-down areas, or anywhere a carbon steel anchor would bleed rust onto the concrete. Metallics catalogues it on the electrical side of its fastener line.
