Metallics JTS3218 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a wedge anchor in block or brick, or only poured concrete?
Wedge anchors like the Metallics JTS3218 are for solid poured concrete. The holding power comes from a steel wedge clip expanding against the sidewall of the hole, and hollow block or the face shell of brick will crack or blow out before the clip seats. For hollow CMU, grouted cells, or brick veneer, use a sleeve anchor, a screw anchor, or a toggle rated for hollow base material instead.
2) Is 2-1/4 inches long enough to anchor strut or a panel to a concrete deck?
For light to medium electrical work, yes. The 2-1/4 inch length is one of the shorter wedge anchors in the 3/8 inch diameter range and it is sized for thin fixtures, strut channel, conduit clamps, junction boxes, and equipment feet sitting flat on the slab. Subtract your fixture thickness from the 2-1/4 inches to see what embedment is left; if the item you are fastening is thick, or you are shimming, step up to a longer 3/8 inch anchor so you keep full embedment in the concrete.
3) Is the zinc plated wedge anchor OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The zinc coating on this steel anchor gives corrosion resistance for general indoor and exterior building work, which is how the 3/8 x 2-1/4 inch Metallics anchor is described. It is a plated carbon steel anchor, not stainless, so for continuously wet, coastal, pool chemical, or chloride exposure you want a stainless wedge anchor rather than zinc.
4) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JTS3218?
100 pieces per jar. The jar pack is the ordering unit for the 3/8 x 2-1/4 inch Metallics wedge anchor, so a single order line gets an electrician or MRO crew through a full run of strut hangers, conduit supports, or panel mounts without breaking down loose bags.
5) Does the wedge anchor come with a nut and washer, or do I buy those separately?
A wedge anchor is supplied as a complete assembly: threaded stud, expansion clip, and the nut and washer already on the stud. You install it by dropping the assembled anchor through the fixture hole and torquing the nut, which pulls the cone into the clip. Nothing else is needed beyond a 3/8 inch masonry bit, a hammer drill, and a wrench or socket.
6) Can a wedge anchor be removed and reused?
No. Once the nut is torqued the wedge clip expands permanently against the hole wall, so a set anchor cannot be backed out and used again. Standard practice is to cut or grind the stud flush, or drive the anchor below the surface and patch. If you need a fastening you can take apart and reinstall, use a female threaded drop-in anchor with a machine bolt instead of the 3/8 x 2-1/4 inch wedge anchor.
7) What thread size mates with this anchor if I want to swap the nut?
The stud on a 3/8 inch wedge anchor is 3/8-16 UNC, so any standard 3/8-16 hex nut, flange nut, or nylon insert lock nut threads onto it, and a 9/16 inch wrench or socket fits the nut. That matters when you are stacking strut, adding a bonding jumper, or replacing a nut that got chewed up during install.
