Metallics TS3312SS Anchors 3/8 X 3-1/2 Wedge Ancr SS (Box 100)

Wedge anchors drill at the same nominal diameter as the anchor, so the TS3312SS 3/8 x 3-1/2 inch anchor needs a 3/8 inch carbide bit in concrete. Drill deeper than the embedment you want so dust has somewhere to go, drop the anchor through the fixture, and tighten the nut to expand the clip against the hole wall.

Yes, the TS3312SS is the stainless version of the 3/8 x 3-1/2 wedge anchor. Stainless is what you use on exterior slabs, parking structures, loading docks, wash-down areas, and anywhere a zinc-plated carbon steel anchor would rust and stain the concrete. Pair it with stainless brackets and nuts to avoid mixing metals.

No. Wedge anchors are for solid, poured concrete. Hollow CMU, brick, and grout-filled block crack or spin out because the expansion clip has nothing solid to bear against. For block walls use a sleeve anchor, a screw anchor rated for masonry, or a toggle through the cell.

The TS3312SS ships 100 anchors to the box, each one complete with its nut and washer. That quantity suits a full day of strut, trapeze, or equipment-base anchoring rather than a single repair.

No. Once the nut is torqued, the clip bites the concrete wall and the anchor is permanent. You can back the nut off and drive the stud flush or below the surface, then patch, but you cannot pull it and reuse it. If you need a removable connection, set a threaded insert or a female drop-in anchor instead and bolt into it.

This is the anchor electricians reach for when mounting to a concrete deck or slab: unistrut and trapeze hangers for conduit runs, transformer and panel mounting feet, generator and rooftop equipment bases, cable tray supports, and exterior light pole or bollard bases. The stainless body is the reason to pick it over a plated anchor on anything exposed to weather.
