Metallics LCS3830 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need an expansion sleeve or epoxy with a 3/8 hex head concrete screw anchor?
No. A concrete screw anchor like the LCS3830 cuts its own thread in a drilled hole, so there is no sleeve, nut, wedge, or adhesive to add. Drill, blow the hole clean, and drive the hex head with an impact wrench or socket. That also means it can be backed out and the hole reused for layout changes, which a wedge or sleeve anchor cannot do.
2) Is a zinc plated concrete screw anchor OK for outdoor or wet locations?
Zinc plating on the LCS3830 is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry interior work: slab mounting of conduit strap, channel, panel backing, equipment feet, and strut inside a building. For exterior, damp, treated lumber contact, or a car wash or pool environment, step up to a stainless or coated exterior concrete screw instead of this zinc steel version.
3) Can I use the Metallics LCS3830 in hollow block or brick, not just poured concrete?
Hex head concrete screws of this type are driven into solid base material: poured concrete is the primary substrate, and the solid web of block or solid brick will hold them. Do not use them in the hollow cell of a block, in mortar joints, or in drywall or plaster, where a screw anchor has nothing to thread into. In those cases use a toggle or a sleeve type anchor rated for hollow base material.
4) Will a jar of 50 be enough for a conduit or strut run, and is this the right anchor for electrical work?
The LCS3830 is catalogued for electrical use, which is where a 3/8 by 3 inch hex head concrete screw normally lands: trapeze and strut supports, cable tray hangers, large conduit straps, and equipment bases anchored to slab or deck. At 50 pieces per jar you have enough for roughly 12 four-hole bases or a long single-point hanger run, so for a large tray job plan on multiple jars.
5) What is the Metallics part number to reorder these 3/8 by 3 inch hex head concrete anchors?
Order Metallics LCS3830. That is the full manufacturer part number for the 3/8 x 3 inch hex head zinc plated concrete screw anchor supplied 50 per jar, and it is the single configuration offered, so there is no finish or length option to specify on the order.
