Metallics JTS1214SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch wedge anchor like the Metallics JTS1214SS?
A 1/4 inch wedge anchor is set in a 1/4 inch diameter hole drilled with a carbide bit to the matching ANSI tolerance. The anchor body is the gauge, so the hole diameter equals the anchor diameter. With a 2-1/4 inch overall anchor length, drill the hole deeper than the intended embedment so cuttings have somewhere to go, then drive the anchor until the cone expands against the concrete and torque the nut.
2) Can the Metallics JTS1214SS wedge anchor be used outdoors or in a wet area?
Yes. The JTS1214SS is a stainless steel wedge anchor, so it suits exterior slabs, parking structures, wash-down areas, pool decks and other damp locations where a plain carbon steel or zinc-plated anchor would rust and stain the concrete.
3) Will a 2-1/4 inch wedge anchor hold through a strut channel or equipment base plate?
The 2-1/4 inch length is the overall anchor length, and whatever thickness of strut, base plate or clip you stack under the nut comes off the available embedment in the concrete. For a 1/4 inch anchor that leaves a shallow set once you pass roughly a half inch of fixture, so for thicker standoffs step up to a longer 1/4 inch anchor rather than relying on this one.
4) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JTS1214SS?
Fifty anchors per jar. It ships as a jar pack, which is the usual way an electrician carries a working quantity of 1/4 inch anchors on the truck for strut, conduit clamps and box mounting.
5) Is a wedge anchor the right choice for conduit strut in concrete, or should I use a sleeve or drop-in anchor?
A wedge anchor like the 1/4 x 2-1/4 JTS1214SS is for solid, poured concrete and is a one-shot anchor: once expanded it is not meant to come back out, so it suits permanent strut runs, hangers and clamps. Use a drop-in anchor instead when you need a flush, internally threaded anchor you can remove and reinstall bolts into, and use a sleeve or toggle type in block, brick or hollow base material, where a wedge anchor will not expand properly.
6) Does the Metallics JTS1214SS wedge anchor come with its own nut and washer?
Wedge anchors are supplied as a complete assembly: the stud with the expansion clip, plus the nut and washer on the threaded end, which is what you torque to set it. Nothing separate is needed beyond a 1/4 inch carbide bit, a hammer and a wrench.
7) What part number do I order for the stainless 1/4 x 2-1/4 Metallics wedge anchor?
Order Metallics JTS1214SS. That number covers the 1/4 x 2-1/4 inch stainless steel wedge anchor supplied 50 to a jar, and it is the only configuration under that part number.
