Metallics TS3871SSD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a wedge anchor work in block or brick, or only concrete?
Wedge anchors are for solid, poured concrete only. The wedge expands against the sides of a clean drilled hole and needs the compressive strength of concrete to hold. In hollow block, brick, or grout-filled CMU, use a sleeve anchor or a screw anchor rated for masonry instead of the 3/8 x 7 wedge anchor.
2) What drill bit size do I need for a 3/8 inch wedge anchor like the TS3871SSD?
Wedge anchors drill to their nominal diameter, so a 3/8 inch carbide bit for a hammer drill. Hole depth has to exceed the embedment you are setting, and with a 7 inch anchor you need to account for the thickness of whatever you are fastening plus the nut and washer before the remaining length goes into the concrete.
3) Can I use the Metallics TS3871SSD wedge anchor outdoors or in a wet location?
It is a stainless steel wedge anchor, which is why it is specified for exterior, damp, and washdown work where a plated carbon steel anchor would rust at the collar. Typical uses are anchoring strut, equipment pads, handrail bases, and exterior conduit supports to concrete.
4) Why would I buy a 7 inch long wedge anchor instead of a shorter one?
The extra length is for thick fixtures and standoff conditions. A 3/8 x 7 anchor lets you pass through a thick base plate, grout bed, topping slab, or stacked shims and still get full embedment in the structural concrete below. If you are fastening thin strut or a clip directly to a slab, a shorter 3/8 anchor is the better choice because excess length just sticks out past the nut.
5) Does the TS3871SSD anchor come with the nut and washer?
Wedge anchors of this type ship as a complete assembly, with the expansion clip, nut, and washer on the stud, so each of the 25 pieces in the box is ready to drop in a hole and tighten. No separate hardware to order.
