Metallics JTS103SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch wedge anchor?
A wedge anchor is drilled with a hammer drill using a carbide bit the same nominal size as the anchor, so 1/4 inch diameter for the JTS103SS. Drill deeper than your planned embedment so debris has somewhere to go, clean the hole, then drive the anchor through the fixture and tighten to expand the clip.
2) Can I use these stainless wedge anchors outdoors or in a wet location?
Stainless is the reason to pick this one. The JTS103SS is a stainless steel wedge anchor rather than zinc plated carbon steel, so it holds up in exterior concrete, wash-down areas, pool decks and coastal work where a plated anchor would rust out and stain the slab.
3) Will a wedge anchor work in block, brick or hollow-core concrete?
No. Wedge anchors need solid, cured concrete to expand against. In hollow block, brick or the voids of hollow-core plank the clip has nothing to bite, and the anchor spins or pulls. Use a sleeve anchor, screw anchor or a toggle rated for masonry in those bases and save the 1/4 x 3-1/4 stainless wedge for poured concrete.
4) Do I need any extra hardware with these Metallics wedge anchors?
No extra hardware. A wedge anchor ships as a complete assembly, the threaded stud with its expansion clip plus a nut and washer, so you only need a hammer drill, a matching carbide bit and a wrench. Nothing separate to order to set them.
5) Are these the right anchors for hanging strut, conduit and electrical gear off a concrete ceiling?
That's the intended use. Metallics catalogs the JTS103SS as an electrical fastener, and a 1/4 inch stainless wedge anchor is a standard pick for strut channel, conduit clamps, junction boxes and small equipment supports into concrete. For heavier trapeze runs step up to a larger diameter.
6) How do I order the JTS103SS, and is it sold by the piece?
It's sold by the jar, 50 anchors per jar, under Metallics part number JTS103SS. Order in jar multiples rather than single pieces.
7) Can a wedge anchor be removed or reused once it's set?
No. Once the clip expands against the concrete the JTS103SS is a permanent anchor. You can back the nut off and pull the fixture, but the stud stays put. Standard practice is to cut or drive the stud below the surface and patch, then set a new anchor nearby.
