Metallics TS5234 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Metallics TS5234 wedge anchor in block or drywall?
No. A wedge anchor is a solid-concrete fastener. It only works if the expansion clip can bite against solid material, so it is not for hollow block, brick veneer, or any hollow wall. For hollow block or drywall you want a toggle or a sleeve-type hollow wall anchor instead, not the TS5234.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 5/16 inch wedge anchor like the TS5234?
Wedge anchors use a hole the same nominal diameter as the anchor, so a 5/16 inch carbide bit for the TS5234. Drill deeper than the embedment you need so dust and cuttings have somewhere to go, then drive the anchor through the fixture and tighten to expand the clip against the hole wall.
3) Is the TS5234 anchor suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The TS5234 is zinc plated carbon steel, which is a dry interior finish. It's fine for slab-mounted equipment, strut, and conduit supports inside a building. For exterior, wet, or corrosive areas, specify a stainless wedge anchor of the same 5/16 x 2-3/4 size rather than the zinc version.
4) Are these the right anchors for mounting electrical panels and strut to a concrete wall?
Yes, that's the typical use. The TS5234 is catalogued on the electrical side as a fastener, and a 5/16 x 2-3/4 wedge anchor is the common choice for securing panelboards, transformer bases, cable tray supports, and strut channel to poured concrete walls and slabs. Box of 100 covers a full run of supports on one job.
5) Does the Metallics TS5234 come with nuts and washers?
Wedge anchors ship as a complete assembly, the threaded stud with the expansion clip plus the nut and washer already on the thread. Nothing else to order for the anchor itself. You will need a 5/16 inch carbide bit and a hammer drill, which are not included.
6) Can I remove and reuse a TS5234 wedge anchor?
No. Once a wedge anchor is set the clip is permanently expanded into the hole, so it can't be backed out and reused. You can remove the nut and the fixture, then cut or drive the stud below the surface and patch. Plan a fresh anchor for any relocation, which is one reason the 100 count box is the practical way to buy them.
