Metallics JNA141SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a Metallics JNA141SS nail-in anchor?
The JNA141SS is a 1/4 inch by 1 inch hammer-drive nail-in anchor, so you drill a 1/4 inch hole with a masonry bit and the hole needs to be at least as deep as the 1 inch anchor body, ideally a bit deeper so drill dust doesn't bottom out the pin. Drop the anchor through your fixture into the hole and drive the pin flush with a hammer.
2) What is a hammer-drive nail-in anchor used for on an electrical job?
It's the fast way to attach light to medium fixtures to concrete, block, or brick without a screw gun. Electricians use the JNA141SS for strapping EMT and conduit, mounting device boxes, fastening strut clips, and tacking down channel to a concrete wall or deck. One hole, one hammer blow, done. It's a permanent fastener though, so if you expect to remove and reuse the hole, use a screw-type masonry anchor or a sleeve anchor instead.
3) How thick a fixture can a 1/4 x 1 nail-in anchor hold?
The 1 inch length is the total anchor body, and it has to sit deep enough in the masonry to hold, so the thickness of whatever you're fastening comes out of that 1 inch. On a 1 inch anchor you're realistically fastening thin material, a conduit strap, a box ear, a clip. If you're going through a furring strip, a spacer, or anything more than about 1/4 inch thick, step up to a longer nail-in anchor rather than stretching this one.
4) Will a Metallics nail-in anchor work in drywall or hollow block?
No. The JNA141SS is a hammer-drive masonry anchor, it needs solid material around the drilled hole to grip. Solid concrete, brick, and solid block are fine. In drywall, plaster, or the hollow cell of a block you'll get nothing, use a toggle or a hollow-wall anchor there instead.
5) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JNA141SS?
100 anchors per jar. Metallics packages the JNA141SS in a jar rather than a box or bag, which is what you want on a truck or a cart since it stays closed and you can pour out a handful at a time.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4 x 1 nail-in anchor jar?
JNA141SS. That's the number to order against, one model covers the whole 1/4 x 1 hammer-drive anchor jar of 100 from Metallics.
