Metallics JTS3612SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a 3/8-16 wedge anchor like the Metallics JTS3612SS?
A 3/8 inch diameter wedge anchor is set in a 3/8 inch hole drilled with a carbide bit sized to ANSI standards, so the anchor body drives straight in and the clip expands against the hole wall. The JTS3612SS is a 3/8-16 x 6-1/2 inch stainless wedge anchor, so drill the hole deeper than the intended embedment to leave room for dust and for the anchor to pull up when tightened.
2) Is the Metallics JTS3612SS wedge anchor suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
Yes. It's a stainless steel wedge anchor, which is what you want for exterior slabs, parking structures, wash-down areas, and coastal or corrosive environments where a zinc-plated carbon steel anchor would rust out. For dry interior concrete, a plated carbon anchor does the same mechanical job at less cost.
3) Can I use a wedge anchor in block, brick, or hollow-core plank?
No. Wedge anchors like the JTS3612SS are for solid, cured concrete only. The clip needs a solid hole wall to expand against, so hollow block, brick, and hollow-core plank call for a sleeve anchor, a toggle, or a screen-tube-and-epoxy setup instead.
4) What thread size and nut fits the Metallics JTS3612SS anchor?
The stud is 3/8-16, standard UNC coarse thread, so it takes a common 3/8-16 nut and washer. That also sets what you can fasten to it: strut clips, conduit hangers, equipment feet, and channel fittings drilled for 3/8 inch bolts.
5) Why would I use a 6-1/2 inch long wedge anchor instead of a shorter one?
Length buys you two things: embedment depth into the concrete and stick-out above the surface. At 6-1/2 inches overall, the JTS3612SS handles thick fixture bases, standoff plates, grout beds, or stacked material between the surface and the nut while still getting enough of the anchor body into sound concrete. If you're only fastening a thin bracket flat to a slab, a shorter 3/8 inch anchor is the right call; excess stud has to be cut or left protruding.
6) Can a wedge anchor be removed and reused?
No. Once tightened, the expansion clip is permanently set in the hole. You can back the nut off and remove the fixture, but the anchor stays. If you need a removable fastener, use a drop-in anchor with a machine bolt, which lets you take the bolt out and leave the shell in the slab.
7) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JTS3612SS?
25 anchors per jar. That's the pack Metallics ships these in, so quantities work out in multiples of 25 rather than as loose singles, which matters if you're pricing out a run of equipment pads or strut drops.
8) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/8-16 x 6-1/2 stainless wedge anchor?
JTS3612SS is the Metallics part number, sold in a 25-piece jar. Order by that MPN to get the stainless version at 3/8-16 x 6-1/2 inches rather than a plated equivalent or a different length in the same series.
