Metallics JDEA14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size bolt or screw does the Metallics JDEA14 double expansion anchor take?
The JDEA14 is the 1/4 inch size, so it accepts a 1/4 inch machine screw or bolt. The screw itself is not included, only the anchor shields, 100 to a jar.
2) Will a double expansion anchor hold in block or brick, or do I need something else?
Double expansion anchors are made for masonry, concrete, and hollow wall material. The two expansion zones spread along the length of the shield, which is why this style is commonly used in block and brick where a single short expansion zone can crumble soft material. Drill the hole to the anchor spec, seat the anchor fully, then tighten the 1/4 inch screw to expand it.
3) Can I use these anchors on an outdoor wall, or will they corrode?
Zinc-aluminum construction is used on these anchors for corrosion resistance, and Metallics rates them for indoor and outdoor installations. For continuously wet or chemically aggressive locations, a stainless anchor is the better call.
4) I need to mount an electrical panel to a concrete wall. Is this the right anchor?
Yes, panel and junction box mounting into masonry or concrete is exactly what the Metallics 1/4 inch double expansion anchor is sold for, along with conduit straps, hangers, and support brackets. You supply the 1/4 inch bolts to suit the panel's mounting slots and your standoff thickness.
5) Do I need a special drill bit or setting tool for these double expansion anchors?
No setting tool. Drill the hole in the masonry or concrete to the anchor's specified size and depth, drop the anchor in, run the bolt through your bracket into the anchor, and tighten. Tightening the bolt is what expands the shield against the hole wall. Snug it to load, not past it, then test the anchor before hanging full weight.
6) What is the difference between a double expansion anchor and a single expansion anchor?
Both are screw-activated masonry shields, but the double expands at two zones along its body instead of one. That spreads the bearing force over more of the hole, which matters in softer or less consistent base material like old block or brick. The Metallics JDEA14 is the 1/4 inch double expansion version.
7) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JDEA14?
One hundred anchors per jar. The jar pack is a single orderable item, so a crew stocking a truck for repeat conduit and bracket work buys in hundreds rather than loose counts.
