Metallics 1408M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size does the Metallics 1408M lead anchor take?
The 1408M is a machine screw lead anchor sized for a 3/8-16 machine screw or bolt. The anchor body expands in the hole as the bolt is driven in, so the thread you hang from is the 3/8-16 bolt itself, which you supply separately. It is sold as a box of 1000.
2) Can I use Metallics 1408M lead anchors in concrete ceilings for hanging strut and conduit?
Yes. Machine screw lead anchors like the 1408M are set into a drilled hole in solid concrete, brick, or block, then a 3/8-16 rod or bolt threads into them, which is the usual way strut, trapeze hangers, and conduit supports get attached overhead. They are not for drywall, hollow block cells, or wood.
3) Does the Metallics 1408M come with the bolts or screws?
No. The box of 1000 is anchors only. You buy the 3/8-16 machine screws, bolts, or threaded rod separately and match the length to your fixture plus the embedment depth of the anchor.
4) What is the difference between a lead machine screw anchor and a wedge anchor?
A lead anchor like the 1408M leaves a female 3/8-16 thread in the hole, so the fixture can be removed and rebolted later without disturbing the anchor. A wedge anchor is a permanent stud sticking out of the concrete that you nut down over. Pick the lead anchor when the equipment may come off for service; pick a wedge anchor for a one-time, higher-load fastening.
5) Is the Metallics 1408M sold in smaller quantities than 1000?
The 1408M is packaged as a box of 1000 anchors, one model with no other pack sizes on the 1408M number.
