Metallics 1406ST – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Metallics 1406ST, an anchor or a tool?
The 1406ST is the setting tool, not the anchor itself. It is used to expand 1/4-20 machine screw lead anchors in the hole after the anchor is dropped in. You buy the lead anchors separately and use this tool to set them.
2) Which size lead anchors does the Metallics 1406ST setting tool work with?
It is sized for 1/4-20 machine screw lead anchors only. Setting tools are size specific, so a 10-24 or 3/8-16 lead anchor needs the tool matched to that size, not this one.
3) Do I need a setting tool to install machine screw lead anchors, or can I just drive the screw in?
You need the tool. A machine screw lead anchor is expanded against the hole wall by driving the internal plug down with a setting punch before the screw goes in. Tightening the screw alone does not seat the anchor, and it will spin or pull out. The 1406ST is the punch for the 1/4-20 size.
4) Is the Metallics 1406ST sold individually or in a box of multiples?
It comes bagged as a single tool, so ordering one quantity gets one setting punch. Crews running more than one installer typically order a tool per person.
5) What is the 1406ST made of and will it hold up to repeated hammer blows?
It is steel with a zinc finish. Steel is what lets the punch take repeated hammer strikes while setting soft lead anchors; the zinc plating is there for corrosion resistance in storage and on damp jobsites.
6) Where do electricians typically use 1/4-20 lead anchors and this setting tool?
They are a concrete, block and masonry fastening method for light to medium loads: strut, hanger rod, conduit clamps, junction and pull boxes, and panel backing on solid walls or ceilings. The 1406ST belongs in an electrical installer's kit alongside the drill bit and the anchors themselves.
