Metallics JTS4512 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a 1/2 inch wedge anchor like the Metallics JTS4512?
Drill a 1/2 inch hole. Wedge anchors are sized by the hole diameter they go into, so a 1/2 x 5-1/2 inch anchor needs a 1/2 inch carbide bit in concrete, drilled deeper than the embedment you want so dust can clear. The 5-1/2 inch length covers your fixture thickness plus nut and washer, with the balance embedded.
2) Can I use a 5-1/2 inch wedge anchor in a hollow block wall or brick?
No. Wedge anchors expand against solid material and are intended for poured concrete; in hollow block or brick the cone has nothing to grab and can blow out the face. For hollow masonry use a sleeve or toggle type anchor, or set the fastener into a solid grouted cell.
3) Is the Metallics JTS4512 wedge anchor OK for outdoor or damp locations?
It's zinc plated steel, which suits dry interior concrete and lightly damp indoor work. For permanent exterior exposure, standing water, or coastal air, step up to a stainless wedge anchor instead, since zinc plating is a sacrificial coating and will eventually rust through.
4) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/2 by 5-1/2 inch zinc wedge anchor?
Metallics calls it JTS4512, a 1/2 x 5-1/2 inch zinc plated steel wedge anchor supplied in a 25 count jar. That's the number to quote when matching an existing order or standardizing a jobsite on one anchor size.
5) How many 1/2 x 5-1/2 Metallics wedge anchors come in a jar?
Twenty-five anchors per jar, packed as model JTS4512. Each one ships as a complete assembly with nut and washer, so the count is the number of fixing points you can set, handy when you are laying out strut, equipment bases, or panel racks and need to know how far one jar goes.
6) Why would an electrical contractor pick a 5-1/2 inch anchor instead of a shorter one?
Length buys you grip range. The extra shank on a 5-1/2 inch body lets you pass through thicker base plates, shims, or housekeeping pads and still reach proper embedment in the concrete below, which is why it shows up on transformer pads, switchgear bases, and heavy strut supports rather than light conduit work.
