Metallics J2513SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics J2513SS sleeve anchor?
The J2513SS is a 1/4 inch diameter sleeve anchor with an overall length of 1-3/8 inches, sold in a jar of 100. The short 1-3/8 inch length suits thin fixtures mounted to concrete, brick, or block where you only need shallow embedment.
2) Are these sleeve anchors stainless steel, and can I use them outdoors?
Yes, the J2513SS is the stainless steel version of the 1/4 inch sleeve anchor, which is why electrical contractors reach for it on exterior strut, conduit straps, light bases, and anything mounted on a wet or coastal elevation where plated carbon steel would rust out.
3) What size hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch sleeve anchor?
Sleeve anchors are drilled to match the anchor's nominal diameter, so a 1/4 inch sleeve anchor like the J2513SS goes into a 1/4 inch carbide bit hole. With a 1-3/8 inch anchor length, your hole has to be deep enough to take the full anchor past the thickness of whatever you are fastening, so keep the fixture thin or step up to a longer anchor.
4) Does the J2513SS come with the nut and washer, or do I buy those separately?
Nothing extra to order. These are sleeve anchors supplied with the nut and washer assembled on the stud, so each of the 100 pieces in the jar is a complete anchor ready to set.
5) Will a sleeve anchor work in hollow block, or do I need something else?
Sleeve anchors are one of the few mechanical anchors that work in solid concrete, brick, and hollow block, because the expanding sleeve spreads load over a longer area instead of biting one point like a wedge anchor. In hollow block, set it in the face shell and keep the load light. For drywall or ceiling tile only, a sleeve anchor is the wrong part, use a toggle or a self-drilling drywall anchor.
6) How is a sleeve anchor different from a wedge anchor for mounting conduit and strut?
A wedge anchor only works in solid concrete and needs full embedment depth, while a sleeve anchor such as the 1/4 inch J2513SS can be used in concrete, brick, or block and is removable by backing off the nut. For light electrical work, strut, straps, device boxes, the sleeve anchor is the common choice. For heavy structural or seismic-rated load, specify a wedge anchor instead.
7) Is this sold loose or in a bulk box for stocking a van?
The J2513SS ships as a jar of 100 pieces, which is the format most electrical contractors and MRO storerooms stock for a single size and finish. If you need to standardize across a facility, order by jar count rather than piece count.
