Metallics J1308 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screw size does the Metallics J1308 lead anchor take?
The J1308 is sized for #16-18 wood screws and sheet metal screws, with an anchor length of 1-1/2 inches. Match the screw gauge to that range or the lead sleeve will not expand correctly against the hole wall.
2) Can I use a lead anchor like the J1308 in drywall or hollow block?
No. Lead expansion anchors such as the J1308 are solid-base anchors: they work in concrete, brick, and solid masonry where the lead sleeve can expand against the hole wall. For hollow block cells, drywall, or plaster you need a toggle or hollow wall anchor instead, because there is nothing solid for the lead to grip.
3) Are these lead anchors for wood screws or sheet metal screws?
Both. The J1308 is a WS and TS lead anchor, meaning it accepts wood screws and sheet metal (tapping) screws in the #16-18 range.
4) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics J1308?
100 anchors per jar. The jar pack is the shipping unit, so an electrician mounting straps, boxes, or conduit clamps into masonry gets one container of 100 rather than loose counts.
5) Is the screw included with the Metallics J1308 anchor?
The jar contains 100 lead anchors only. Order #16-18 wood or sheet metal screws separately, and size the screw length for the 1-1/2 inch anchor plus whatever you are fastening through.
6) What is the Metallics J1308 lead anchor used for on an electrical job?
It is a fastener for anchoring into masonry, catalogued by Metallics as an electrical-trade anchor. Typical use is securing conduit straps, device boxes, panel mounting feet, and strut to concrete or brick walls and ceilings using a #16-18 wood or sheet metal screw.
7) Do I need a special setting tool for these lead anchors?
No setting tool is required for a screw-expanded lead anchor like the J1308. Drill the hole to the anchor diameter, tap the sleeve in flush, then drive the #16-18 screw, which expands the lead against the masonry as it goes.
