Metallics JDIA141SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these drop-in anchors stainless steel, and does that matter for outdoor or damp locations?
Stainless steel, per the JDIA141SS designation. That makes them a reasonable pick for exterior slabs, parking structures, wet mechanical rooms, and coastal work where a plain zinc-plated anchor would rust at the face of the concrete. For dry interior strut and conduit hangers, carbon steel drop-ins are the usual cheaper choice.
2) Do I need a setting tool to install a 1/4-20 drop-in anchor?
Yes. A drop-in anchor is set by driving an internal expander plug with a matched setting punch after the hole is drilled and cleaned, which flares the body against the concrete. The setting tool is sized to the anchor diameter, so a 1/4-20 drop-in needs the 1/4 inch setter. The tool is not part of the jar of 100 anchors.
3) Will a 1/4-20 drop-in anchor hold in hollow block or drywall?
No. Drop-ins expand against solid base material and are intended for poured concrete. In hollow block cells or drywall there is nothing for the expander to bear on, so you need a toggle, a sleeve-type hollow wall anchor, or a block-rated screw anchor instead.
4) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JDIA141SS?
100 anchors per jar. That is the pack quantity, so it is one unit on the order rather than loose pieces, and it is sized for a crew hanging a run of conduit, strut, or threaded-rod drops where you want a jar in the gang box rather than counting out singles.
5) What is the difference between a drop-in anchor and a wedge anchor for 1/4-20 rod?
A wedge anchor is a stud that stays sticking out of the concrete, and you cannot remove the bolt. The JDIA141SS is a female drop-in: the body is set flush and you thread 1/4-20 rod or a bolt into it, so the fastener comes back out and the anchor stays. Pick the drop-in when the fixture has to be removable or when nothing can project from the slab, and a wedge anchor when a permanent through-fixture stud is acceptable.
6) What is the Metallics part number to order for the 1/4-20 stainless drop-in anchor?
Order Metallics JDIA141SS. The J prefix identifies the jar pack of 100, with 1/4-20 internal thread in stainless steel.
