Metallics J1406 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size screw does the Metallics J1406 lead anchor take?
The J1406 lead anchor is threaded for a 1/4-20 machine screw, so any standard 1/4-20 bolt or machine screw threads straight into it. That is a machine screw thread, not a lag or wood screw thread, so a tapered screw will not engage it properly. Pick the screw length by adding your fixture thickness to the depth of anchor you want the screw to reach.
2) Will a lead anchor hold in concrete block, brick, or poured concrete?
All three. Lead anchors work in solid masonry substrates, and the J1406 is intended for concrete block, brick, stone and poured concrete. The lead body is malleable, so when the screw is driven the anchor expands and conforms to the drilled hole, which is what gives it its grip. What it is not is a hollow wall anchor, drywall, plaster or empty block cell gives it nothing to expand against, so use a toggle or a self drilling drywall anchor there instead.
3) Lead anchor or plastic anchor for mounting to concrete?
Different jobs. A plastic anchor takes a tapered sheet metal screw and is fine for light fixtures and small boxes. A lead anchor like the J1406 takes a 1/4-20 machine screw, which means a bolted connection you can back out and reinstall, and the lead deforms into the irregularities of a drilled masonry hole rather than just wedging. For anything you expect to service, a panel, a piece of equipment, a hanger that carries weight, the machine screw thread is the reason to go lead.
4) Can I use lead anchors to mount an electrical panel or conduit strap to a masonry wall?
That is the main use for them. Panels and enclosures, conduit straps and hangers, junction boxes and HVAC supports all mount to concrete or masonry on 1/4-20 lead anchors. The advantage over a plastic anchor on this kind of work is that the screw is removable and re-threadable, so a panel can be pulled and re-hung on the same anchors.
5) What part number do I order for a Metallics 1/4-20 lead anchor?
J1406 is the Metallics part number for the 1/4-20 machine screw lead anchor in the 100 count jar. The thread size is what the number tracks, so if you are standardizing a building on one screw size, order by thread first and confirm J1406 for the 1/4-20.
6) How many lead anchors come in the Metallics J1406 jar?
100 anchors per jar. The jar pack is the format most electrical contractors buy these in, it keeps them together on the truck and makes counting stock simple compared to loose bagged anchors.
7) Do lead anchors corrode in a damp basement or mechanical room?
Lead resists corrosion in typical building environments, which is part of why these have stayed in use for interior masonry work in basements, mechanical rooms and parking structures. Match the screw to the environment too, a plain steel 1/4-20 in a wet location will rust long before the anchor does.
