Metallics JTS383G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a 3/8 inch wedge anchor?
A 3/8 inch wedge anchor like the JTS383G goes into a 3/8 inch hole drilled with a carbide hammer-drill bit. Wedge anchors are hole-size-matched: the bit diameter equals the anchor diameter. Drill deeper than your intended embedment so dust falls clear, blow the hole out, then drive the anchor and tighten the nut to set the expansion clip.
2) Is a galvanized wedge anchor OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTS383G carries a galvanized coating, which gives it more corrosion resistance than plain zinc-plated steel for exterior walls, loading docks, parking structures, and damp mechanical rooms. For continuous saltwater exposure or submerged work, stainless is the usual call instead.
3) Can I use these wedge anchors to hang strut and conduit from a concrete ceiling?
That is the common use for a 3/8 inch galvanized wedge anchor. The 3/8 inch body suits strut channel, beam clamps, hanger brackets, and threaded-rod fittings sized for 3/8 inch hardware. Overhead concrete work often falls under specific anchor-approval requirements on commercial jobs, so match the anchor to what the drawing or engineer calls out.
4) Does the JTS383G come with a nut and washer, or do I order those separately?
Wedge anchors in this style ship as a complete assembly: the threaded stud with the expansion clip, plus the nut and washer already on the stud. You tighten that nut to expand the clip against the hole wall, so nothing extra is needed beyond a hammer drill, a 3/8 inch carbide bit, a blow-out bulb or vacuum, and a wrench.
5) What is the difference between a wedge anchor and a sleeve or drop-in anchor for concrete?
A wedge anchor like the JTS383G is a one-piece stud that stays permanently in the hole; you set it by torquing the nut and the fixture mounts over the exposed thread. A drop-in anchor sits flush and takes a machine bolt you can remove and reinstall, which is what you want for equipment that gets pulled for service. Sleeve anchors are the choice for hollow block or brick, where a wedge anchor will not hold. For solid poured concrete with a fixture that stays put, the wedge anchor is the straightforward pick.
6) I need to standardize anchors across a facility. Does Metallics offer this wedge anchor in other sizes?
Metallics builds this galvanized wedge anchor line in a range of diameters and lengths; the JTS383G is the 3/8 by 3 inch, 50-per-jar configuration. Standardizing on one diameter across a site keeps a single drill bit and one wrench size in the cart, and the jar packaging keeps loose anchors sorted on the shelf.
