Metallics TS3410SSD Anchors 3/4 x 10 Wdg SS (Box 10)

Wedge anchors are drilled at the same nominal diameter as the anchor body, so a 3/4 inch anchor goes into a 3/4 inch carbide hammer-drilled hole. The anchor is driven through the fixture into the hole, then the nut is tightened to expand the clip against the concrete.

No. At 10 inches overall, the TS3410SSD needs embedment depth well into the base material plus clearance for whatever thickness of fixture or standoff you are fastening through. In a thin slab or a shallow deck topping it will bottom out before it sets. For thin concrete, step down to a shorter 3/4 inch anchor or switch to a screw anchor or adhesive anchor sized to the available depth.

Stainless, which is what the TS3410SSD is made of, is the choice for wet, exterior, coastal, or washdown locations where a zinc-plated carbon anchor would rust and lose holding value. Indoors and dry, plated carbon steel is normally the cheaper and adequate pick.

Wedge anchors of this type are supplied as a complete unit: threaded stud, expansion clip, nut and washer. No separate hardware is needed to set it, though you do need a carbide bit matched to the 3/4 inch diameter and a hammer drill.

Wedge anchors are intended for solid, poured concrete. In hollow block or brick the clip has nothing continuous to grip and the anchor can pull or spall the face. For masonry of that kind use a sleeve anchor or an adhesive anchor with a screen tube rather than the TS3410SSD.

This size and length suits heavy equipment anchorage: transformer pads, large switchgear and enclosure bases, strut and trapeze support bases, and exterior pole or standoff bases where the anchor passes through grout or a thick base plate before reaching sound concrete. Metallics catalogs it in its electrical fastener line.

Ten per box. If you are standardizing a run of equipment pads, order in box multiples so each base plate gets a full set of matching stainless anchors rather than mixing materials across the same connection.
