Metallics TS4085SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics TS4085SS wedge anchor?
The TS4085SS is a 1/2 inch diameter wedge anchor, so the hole is drilled with a 1/2 inch carbide bit. Wedge anchors are matched to the nominal anchor diameter, not oversized, and the hole should be drilled deeper than the embedment you need so dust can settle below the anchor.
2) Is the TS4085SS anchor stainless steel or zinc plated?
Stainless steel. The TS4085SS is the stainless version of the 1/2 x 8-1/2 wedge anchor, which is what you want for exterior pads, wet wells, coastal work, pool decks, or anywhere a zinc plated carbon steel anchor would bleed rust onto the concrete.
3) Can I use a stainless wedge anchor like the TS4085SS in block or brick?
Wedge anchors, including the 1/2 x 8-1/2 stainless TS4085SS, are designed for solid poured concrete. Hollow block, brick and mortar joints do not give the expansion clip anything solid to bite, and the anchor can spin or pull. In hollow masonry use a sleeve anchor or a screw anchor rated for block instead.
4) How many 1/2 x 8-1/2 wedge anchors come in a box of Metallics TS4085SS?
They ship 25 per box, packaged as a box rather than loose or bulk. That is one carton quantity for a 1/2 x 8-1/2 stainless wedge anchor, so size your order in multiples of 25 for a run of base plates or strut supports.
5) Do I need any extra nuts or washers with the Metallics TS4085SS?
No. A wedge anchor of this type ships complete, the threaded stud with the expansion clip, nut and washer assembled on it. You only need a 1/2 inch carbide bit, a hammer drill, a blow-out bulb or vacuum to clear the hole, and a wrench to torque the nut.
6) Is the TS4085SS a removable anchor, or is it permanent once set?
Permanent. Once the nut is torqued the clip expands against the hole wall and the anchor cannot be backed out, only cut off flush or driven below the surface. If you need a fastening you can remove and reuse the hole, use an internally threaded drop-in anchor or a female concrete insert rather than a 1/2 inch wedge anchor.
7) What thread size do I order for hardware going over a 1/2 inch wedge anchor?
A 1/2 inch wedge anchor is 1/2-13 UNC thread, so any clamp, strut fitting, channel nut or structural washer you stack on it needs to be 1/2 inch bore and 1/2-13 threaded. Electrical crews mounting strut, cable tray supports and transformer pads to concrete are the usual users of this size.
