Metallics J3717SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics J3717SS sleeve anchor, and what hole does it need?
The Metallics J3717SS is a 3/8 x 1-7/8 inch sleeve anchor supplied with its nut. Sleeve anchors are drilled at the anchor's nominal diameter, so a 3/8 inch carbide bit is the hole size, drilled deeper than the anchor's embedment so dust can clear. The 1-7/8 inch overall length limits how much fixture thickness you can clamp, so for anything thicker than a light bracket or strut channel step up to a longer 3/8 inch sleeve anchor.
2) Are these stainless steel sleeve anchors suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
Yes. The J3717SS 3/8 x 1-7/8 sleeve anchor is stainless steel, which is the reason to pick it over a zinc plated carbon steel sleeve anchor for exterior walls, parking structures, wash-down areas, or damp mechanical rooms where plated anchors rust and stain the concrete.
3) Will a 3/8 sleeve anchor work in hollow block, or do I need concrete?
Sleeve anchors like the 3/8 x 1-7/8 J3717SS are one of the few mechanical anchors that work in solid concrete, brick, and hollow block, because the expanding sleeve spreads load over the hole wall instead of relying on a single wedge bite. In hollow block, set it in the face shell and keep the fixture load light; for heavy equipment in block, use a through-bolt or an anchor rated for the specific base material.
4) Do I need to buy nuts and washers separately for the J3717SS anchor?
The nut comes with the anchor. Each 3/8 x 1-7/8 stainless sleeve anchor in the jar of 50 is supplied as a complete assembly with its nut, so no separate hardware is needed to set it. You will need a 3/8 inch carbide masonry bit, a hammer drill, and a wrench to tighten the nut and expand the sleeve.
5) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics J3717SS?
Fifty. The J3717SS ships as a jar of 50 stainless 3/8 x 1-7/8 sleeve anchors, each with its nut, so it is sized for a run of strut hangers, conduit supports, or equipment feet rather than a one-off repair.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/8 inch stainless sleeve anchor jar?
J3717SS is the Metallics part number for the 3/8 x 1-7/8 stainless steel sleeve anchor and nut, packed 50 to a jar. Use that number when matching anchors already set on a job so the diameter, length, and material stay consistent.
