Metallics TS407G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics TS407G wedge anchor?
The TS407G is a 1/2 inch diameter wedge anchor, so it goes into a 1/2 inch hole drilled with a carbide bit. Wedge anchors are drilled the same nominal size as the anchor itself, and the hole has to be drilled deeper than the embedment you want so debris can settle at the bottom.
2) Is the Metallics TS407G anchor rated for outdoor or wet locations?
It's hot-dip galvanized, which is the coating specified for exterior and damp concrete work, rooftop equipment curbs, parking structures and similar exposure. A plain zinc-plated wedge anchor is the indoor-only version of the same part.
3) How thick a fixture can a 1/2 x 7 wedge anchor hold down?
Overall length is 7 inches on the 1/2 inch TS407G. Subtract the embedment you need in the concrete and the balance is what's left for the fixture, washer and nut, so this length is meant for thick base plates, heavy standoffs, sill plates over topping slabs, or any case where a shorter 1/2 inch anchor would not reach sound concrete.
4) Can I use a wedge anchor like the TS407G in block or brick instead of concrete?
No. Wedge anchors are for solid, poured concrete only. They work by expanding a clip against the wall of the drilled hole, and hollow block or brick will spall or simply not develop the grip. For block walls use a sleeve anchor or a screw anchor sized to the cell, and for hollow block with a fixture load use a through-bolt or toggle.
5) Do Metallics TS407G wedge anchors come with nuts and washers?
Yes. A wedge anchor is supplied as a complete assembly, the threaded stud with the expansion clip plus the nut and washer already on the thread, so nothing extra is needed to set it. You do need a hammer drill with a 1/2 inch carbide bit and a wrench to torque the nut.
6) What is the exact part number for the 1/2 x 7 hot-dip galvanized Metallics wedge anchor?
TS407G is the Metallics part number for the 1/2 inch by 7 inch hot-dip galvanized wedge anchor, boxed 25. That's the number to quote to match an existing order or keep a job standardized on one anchor.
7) Can a wedge anchor be removed or reused once it's set?
No. Once the TS407G is torqued the clip is permanently expanded in the hole. The nut comes off and the stud can be cut or driven flush below the surface, but the anchor cannot be backed out and reused. If you need a removable fastening, use a drop-in anchor with a machine bolt instead.
8) How many anchors are in a box of Metallics TS407G?
25 anchors per box, sold as a box quantity. For a crew setting equipment pads or strut bases, figure your anchor count per base and round up to full boxes.
