Metallics LCS5810 Anchors 3/8 x 10 Hx Hd Lg Dia CS St-zn (Box 5)

The LCS5810 is zinc plated carbon steel, which is a dry interior finish. Zinc plating gives light corrosion protection for indoor concrete work, parking structures under cover, and mechanical rooms. For sustained exterior exposure, wet process areas, coastal air, or anywhere the anchor sees standing water, specify a stainless or hot dip galvanized anchor instead rather than plated carbon steel.

Length has to be spent somewhere. On a 10 inch anchor, whatever thickness of strut, bracket, base plate, or standoff you are clamping comes off the top, and the rest is embedment. If you are fastening a thin bracket flat to a slab, 10 inches leaves a lot of anchor buried and is more than most light conduit or strut work needs, and a shorter 3/8 anchor is the cleaner buy. The 10 inch length earns its place when you are going through thick material, a topping slab, or fireproofing before you reach sound concrete.

Five per box. The LCS5810 is packaged as a box quantity, so a run of strut, conduit rack, or equipment mounts that needs a dozen anchors takes three boxes. Worth counting before the truck loads, because at 3/8 by 10 inches these are the long anchors people run short of on site.

Hex head means you set and tighten it with a socket or a nut driver, not a screwdriver or an Allen key, so an impact with the right socket is the tool on the belt. Nothing else ships with the LCS5810 box other than the five anchors, so you supply the correctly sized masonry bit for the 3/8 inch anchor, a way to blow or brush the hole clean, and the socket.

That is the work it is built for. Metallics catalogs the LCS5810 as electrical fastening hardware, and a 3/8 inch hex head anchor is the common size for strut channel, trapeze hangers, conduit clamps, panel backboards, and equipment feet on concrete or solid masonry. Load capacity depends on your embedment and base material, so size the count of anchors to the hanger load the job requires.

Order it as Metallics LCS5810. That single manufacturer part number covers the 3/8 by 10 inch large diameter hex head carbon steel zinc anchor, sold five to a box, and there are no finish or length choices to pick underneath it.
