Metallics SWA3836 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "cracked concrete" mean on the SWA3836 anchor, and when do I need it?
Cracked concrete rated anchors are tested to hold in concrete that has already cracked or is expected to crack in service, which is what structural and seismic jobs call for. The Metallics SWA3836 is a cracked concrete anchor, so it is the one to use where the spec or the engineer calls out cracked concrete performance rather than uncracked only.
2) Can I use the 3/8 x 3-3/4 inch Metallics anchor for strut, conduit hangers, and electrical equipment on a concrete deck?
That is the intended work. The SWA3836 is an electrical-department fastener, a 3/8 inch anchor at 3-3/4 inches of length, which is the common size for hanging strut channel, trapeze supports, conduit clamps, panels, and junction boxes off concrete slabs and walls.
3) What size hole do I drill for a 3/8 inch concrete screw-type anchor like the SWA3836?
Match the drill bit to the anchor diameter: a 3/8 inch anchor takes a 3/8 inch carbide bit in hammer-drill mode, drilled deeper than the embedment so dust can clear, then blown out before setting. With a 3-3/4 inch anchor, subtract the thickness of the material you are fastening through to get your actual embedment, and keep that embedment at or above what the anchor requires for a cracked concrete rating.
4) Is a 50-count jar of 3/8 inch anchors enough for a strut hanger run?
One jar of the SWA3836 carries 50 anchors. At two anchors per strut bracket that covers 25 hangers, at four per trapeze base it covers about 12 supports. Facilities and MRO buyers standardizing on one 3/8 inch anchor size usually keep jars on the shelf rather than buying per job.
