Metallics JTS3121SSD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics JTS3121SSD 3/8 inch wedge anchor?
Wedge anchors are drilled at their nominal diameter, so the 3/8 x 3-3/4 inch JTS3121SSD goes into a 3/8 inch carbide hammer-drill hole in solid concrete. Drill the hole deeper than the intended embedment so dust and cuttings have somewhere to go, blow it clean, then drive the anchor until the nut and washer seat and torque to expand the clip.
2) Is the JTS3121SSD anchor stainless steel, and can I use it outdoors or in a wet area?
Yes, the Metallics JTS3121SSD is a stainless steel wedge anchor, which is what you want for exterior slabs, parking structures, pool decks, washdown areas and coastal work where a plated carbon steel anchor would rust and stain the concrete. For dry interior anchoring, a zinc-plated carbon wedge anchor of the same 3/8 x 3-3/4 inch size does the same mechanical job.
3) Can I use these wedge anchors in block, brick or hollow-core deck?
No. Wedge anchors like the 3/8 x 3-3/4 inch JTS3121SSD are for solid, fully cured normal-weight concrete only. The expansion clip needs solid material to bear against, so hollow block, brick, mortar joints and hollow-core plank call for a different fastener (a sleeve anchor, a toggle, or an adhesive anchor with a screen tube).
4) How many anchors come in the Metallics JTS3121SSD jar?
Fifty 3/8 x 3-3/4 inch stainless wedge anchors per jar, supplied as a jar pack rather than loose count. Each anchor comes as a complete assembly with its nut and washer, so you are not buying hardware separately.
5) Can a wedge anchor be removed or reused once it is set?
Not practically. A wedge anchor is a one-time, permanent mechanical anchor: driving it expands the clip against the hole wall, so backing the nut off does not release it. The stud can be cut or driven below the surface and patched, but plan the layout before you set the 3/8 inch anchors. If you need a removable connection, use a female threaded insert or drop-in anchor instead.
6) What is the 3/8 x 3-3/4 wedge anchor typically used for on electrical work?
This is the anchor electricians reach for when hanging equipment off concrete: strut and trapeze channel, cable tray supports, panelboard and transformer mounting, disconnect enclosures, and machine or equipment bases. The 3-3/4 inch length leaves usable thread above the surface for a strut nut or bracket after embedment, and the stainless body suits exterior and damp locations.
7) What is the exact part number to order these Metallics stainless wedge anchors?
Order Metallics part number JTS3121SSD for the 3/8 x 3-3/4 inch stainless steel wedge anchor in a 50-count jar. That number covers the whole assembly, so there is no separate option to choose on diameter, length, or finish.
