Metallics LCS3850SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics LCS3850SS a stainless steel anchor?
Yes, the LCS3850SS is the stainless steel version of the 3/8 x 5 large diameter hex head screw anchor. Stainless matters for exterior work, coastal sites, wash-down areas and anywhere treated lumber is bolted to concrete, where a plain carbon steel anchor would corrode at the head.
2) Do I need a separate shield or expansion sleeve to install the LCS3850SS?
No sleeve or shield is used. This is a screw-type concrete anchor: you drill the hole, blow it clean, and drive the anchor straight into the masonry with an impact wrench on the hex head. Nothing else ships in the box with it.
3) Can I use these anchors for strut, conduit racks and equipment mounting on concrete?
That is what the 3/8 x 5 hex head screw anchor is built for. Metallics catalogs it as electrical fastening hardware, and the hex head takes a socket so it drives fast for repetitive work like strut channel, cable tray supports, conduit racks and equipment bases on concrete or block.
4) Should I pick a 3/8 x 5 screw anchor or a wedge anchor for my concrete job?
Go with the screw anchor like the LCS3850SS when you want to be able to back the fastener out again, when you are working close to an edge, or when you need fixed, repeatable embedment. A wedge anchor is the choice when the fixture is permanent and you want the expansion grip of a stud-type anchor. Screw anchors also let you set the fixture and the anchor in one pass instead of setting studs first.
5) Is the LCS3850SS the same anchor as the carbon steel version, just in stainless?
Same 3/8 inch diameter, same 5 inch length, same hex head large diameter screw anchor pattern, same 50 piece box. The SS suffix on LCS3850SS is the stainless material callout. If you have been buying the plain steel one for interior work and need corrosion resistance on an exterior run, this is the direct swap.
