Metallics J1202 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a lag shield anchor in drywall or hollow block?
No. A lag screw shield like the J1202 works by expanding against solid material as the lag draws in, so it needs solid concrete, brick, or stone. For drywall or a hollow cell in block you need a toggle or a hollow wall anchor instead.
2) Does the Metallics J1202 come with the lag bolts?
No, the jar contains the shields only. You buy the 5/16 inch lag screws separately and size the length to your fixture thickness plus the 1-1/4 inch shield depth.
3) What material is the Metallics J1202 anchor made from and will it corrode?
Zinc-aluminum alloy. That gives it better corrosion resistance than plain steel for damp interior work and protected exterior locations, but it is not stainless, so continuous saltwater or heavy chemical exposure calls for a stainless anchor.
4) What are 5/16 lag shields used for on an electrical job?
They are the standard way to hang strut, conduit racks, panel backboards, junction boxes, and light fixture supports off concrete or brick. Drill the hole, set the shield flush, then drive a 5/16 lag through the mounting bracket into the shield.
5) Should I use a lag shield or a wedge anchor for mounting to concrete?
A lag shield lets you remove the bolt and take the fixture back off without destroying the anchor, which suits equipment that gets serviced or swapped. A wedge anchor is a permanent one-shot set with higher pull-out in sound concrete. For a removable 5/16 fastening, the J1202 shield is the one.
6) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics J1202?
50 shields per jar. The jar pack is handy on a cart or in a van bin where a bagged count tends to spill.
