Metallics JTS3234SSD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What hole size do I drill for a 3/8 inch wedge anchor like the JTS3234SSD?
A wedge anchor is drilled with a carbide bit the same nominal diameter as the anchor, so a 3/8 inch anchor takes a 3/8 inch hole. Drill deeper than the embedment you need so dust can settle, blow the hole clean, then drive the anchor through the fixture and torque the nut to expand the clip. The JTS3234SSD's 2-3/4 inch overall length has to cover your fixture thickness plus embedment, so thick base plates eat into available embedment fast.
2) Can I use these stainless wedge anchors outdoors or in a wet area?
Yes. The JTS3234SSD is a stainless steel wedge anchor, which is why it gets specified for exterior concrete, parking structures, wash-down rooms, pool and coastal work, and anywhere a plated carbon steel anchor would bleed rust. For dry interior slab work, a zinc-plated carbon wedge anchor of the same 3/8 x 2-3/4 size is the usual lower-cost choice.
3) Will a wedge anchor work in hollow block or brick, or only solid concrete?
Wedge anchors, including this 3/8 x 2-3/4 stainless Metallics anchor, are for solid poured concrete. They expand against the sides of the hole, so hollow CMU, brick veneer, or mortar joints will not develop the grip and can blow out the cell face. For hollow block use a sleeve anchor or a toggle; for grouted-solid block or a bond beam, a wedge anchor is acceptable.
4) Do these wedge anchors come with nuts and washers?
Yes, a wedge anchor ships as an assembly: the threaded stud with its expansion clip, plus a hex nut and flat washer already run onto the thread. You supply nothing but the drill bit and a wrench. Count 100 complete anchors per jar on the JTS3234SSD.
5) Can a wedge anchor be removed or reused once it is set?
No. Once the nut is torqued and the clip expands, a 3/8 x 2-3/4 wedge anchor is permanent. You can back the nut off and remove the fixture, but the stud stays in the concrete. If the anchor has to come out flush, cut or drive it below the surface and patch. When you expect to remove and re-set the equipment, specify a female anchor such as a drop-in or an internally threaded insert instead.
6) Is the JTS3234SSD the right part number for a 3/8 inch stainless wedge anchor?
JTS3234SSD is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the 3/8 x 2-3/4 stainless steel wedge anchor in the 100-count jar. Quote it as-is; the diameter and length are both baked into the number, so a different length in the same family carries a different suffix.
