Metallics JTS312D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics JTS312D 3/8 inch wedge anchor?
Drill 3/8 inch. Wedge anchors use a hole the same nominal diameter as the anchor, so the 3/8 x 3-3/4 JTS312D goes into a 3/8 inch carbide-bit hole drilled into solid concrete, and the hole should be drilled deeper than the embedment you need so dust can settle below the anchor.
2) Can I use the Metallics JTS312D in block, brick or hollow masonry?
No. A wedge anchor like the 3/8 x 3-3/4 JTS312D is for solid concrete only; it works by expanding a clip against the wall of a drilled hole and needs solid base material to hold. For hollow block or brick use a sleeve anchor, toggle, or screw anchor rated for masonry instead.
3) Are these zinc plated anchors OK for outdoor or wet locations?
The JTS312D is carbon steel with zinc plating, which is a dry, indoor-interior finish. It holds up in normally dry conditions, but for exterior, damp, or chemically exposed concrete you want a stainless wedge anchor instead, since zinc plating will eventually rust in those environments.
4) What do I need to install a 3/8 wedge anchor besides the anchor itself?
A hammer drill with a 3/8 inch carbide masonry bit, a blow-out bulb or vacuum to clear the hole, a hammer to drive the anchor flush, and a wrench or socket to torque the nut. The JTS312D arrives with its own nut and washer, so no added hardware is required.
5) Is the Metallics JTS312D removable once it is set?
Not really. A set wedge anchor cannot be backed out of the hole; the clip stays expanded in the concrete. You can remove the nut and washer and either cut the stud flush or drive it below the surface and patch. If you need a fastener you can remove and reuse, specify a concrete screw or a threaded insert rather than this 3/8 x 3-3/4 wedge anchor.
6) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JTS312D?
Fifty pieces per jar, and they ship as a jar pack rather than loose or boxed. Each anchor comes with its nut and washer assembled, so you do not need to order separate hardware to set them.
7) What part number do I order for the Metallics 3/8 by 3-3/4 wedge anchor?
Order Metallics JTS312D. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3/8 x 3-3/4 zinc plated steel wedge anchor in the 50 piece jar, and it is the only configuration under that number, so there is no length, finish, or pack option to specify.
