Metallics J2552F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What hole size do I drill for a 1/4 inch sleeve anchor?
Sleeve anchors are drilled at the same nominal size as the anchor, so a 1/4 inch sleeve anchor like the J2552F goes into a 1/4 inch carbide bit hole. That is the behavior that separates sleeve anchors from wedge anchors, and it is why they work in block, brick, and concrete without a different bit per base material.
2) Can I use the Metallics J2552F in hollow block as well as solid concrete?
Yes. A sleeve anchor expands along the full length of its sleeve, which lets it grip in hollow concrete block, brick, and solid concrete alike. That is the main reason to choose a 1/4 x 5-1/4 sleeve anchor over a wedge anchor, which needs solid concrete to set properly.
3) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics J2552F?
Each jar holds 100 anchors. Metallics packs the J2552F in a jar rather than a box, which is what an electrician or maintenance tech wants on a cart for repeat strut, conduit strap, and box mounting into masonry.
4) Will a flat head sleeve anchor sit flush, or does the head stand above the surface?
The J2552F uses a flat head, which seats down into a countersunk hole or flush against the fixture rather than standing proud like an acorn or hex head. Pick it where the mounted item has a countersunk hole or where anything protruding would interfere; use a hex or acorn head sleeve anchor instead if you want a washer face bearing on the surface.
5) Is a zinc sleeve anchor OK for outdoor or wet locations?
The J2552F carries a zinc plated finish, which is a dry, indoor-duty coating. For exterior work, wet process areas, or coastal exposure, step up to a hot dip galvanized or stainless sleeve anchor instead, since plated zinc will bloom and rust in standing moisture.
6) Why would I need a 5-1/4 inch long anchor instead of a short one?
Length buys you standoff. At 5-1/4 inches the J2552F has room to pass through a thick fixture, a furring layer, rigid insulation, or a grout bed and still land enough sleeve in the masonry behind it. For a strap sitting flat on the wall, a much shorter 1/4 inch sleeve anchor is the better pick, since excess length just bottoms out in the hole.
