Metallics JTS3033SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wedge anchor is the Metallics JTS3033SS, and what diameter hole does it need?
The JTS3033SS is a 3/8-16 x 3 inch stainless steel wedge anchor. Wedge anchors are drilled with a hole matching the anchor's nominal diameter, so a 3/8 inch carbide bit is what you drill with, and the hole has to go deeper than the embedment so the dust has somewhere to go. The 3 inch length covers the fixture thickness plus embedment, so measure your bracket or channel thickness and subtract it from 3 inches to see what embedment you are actually left with.
2) Will stainless wedge anchors hold in an outdoor or wet concrete slab?
Stainless is the reason to pick this one. The JTS3033SS is a stainless steel wedge anchor, so it suits exterior slabs, wash-down areas, parking decks and coastal work where a plated carbon steel anchor would rust and bleed stain down the concrete. It is a concrete anchor, not a hollow-base anchor, so the substrate still has to be solid poured concrete.
3) Can I use a 3/8 inch wedge anchor in block or brick instead of concrete?
No. A wedge anchor like the JTS3033SS expands against solid material and is intended for poured concrete. In hollow block or brick, the clip has nothing continuous to bite into and the anchor can spin or pull. For masonry of that kind use a sleeve anchor or a screw anchor rated for block.
4) How many anchors come in the Metallics JTS3033SS pack?
They ship 50 to a jar. That is the pack type on this item, so a quantity of one gets you a 50 piece jar of 3/8-16 x 3 inch stainless wedge anchors, not a single anchor. Worth knowing if you are counting anchors per base plate on a bid.
5) Does the JTS3033SS wedge anchor come with a nut and washer?
A wedge anchor of this type is supplied as a complete assembly: threaded stud, expansion clip, and the nut and washer on the 3/8-16 thread used to set it. You tighten the nut to pull the cone into the clip and expand the anchor. No separate fastener purchase is needed to install it.
6) What are 3/8 inch stainless wedge anchors typically used for on electrical jobs?
This is an electrical department fastener, and a 3/8-16 x 3 inch stainless wedge anchor is the size usually reached for when anchoring strut channel, cable tray supports, panelboard and enclosure backing, transformer pads and conduit rack bases to a concrete floor, wall or deck. The stainless body makes it the choice where that run is outdoors or in a damp vault.
7) Once a wedge anchor is set, can I remove it and reuse it?
No. The JTS3033SS is a one-time anchor. Tightening the nut drives the cone permanently into the expansion clip against the hole wall, so the body cannot be backed out intact. If a fixture has to come off, the nut comes off and the stud stays in the slab, to be cut flush or driven below the surface and patched.
