Metallics JHW5162 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the JHW5162 wedge anchor be used in block or brick, or only poured concrete?
Hammer drive wedge anchors like the 5/16 x 2 JHW5162 are intended for solid poured concrete. In hollow block the wedge has nothing solid to expand against, and in the face shell it can blow out the web. For hollow block or brick use a sleeve anchor or a toggle rated for the base material instead.
2) Is the Metallics JHW5162 anchor suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The JHW5162 is zinc plated (Zn-C), which is a coating for dry interior service. It will corrode in exposed exterior, wet, or chemically aggressive locations. For outdoor strut, conduit stand-offs, or wash-down areas, specify a stainless or hot dip galvanized anchor rather than this zinc plated one.
3) Do I need a setting tool for a hammer drive anchor, or is a hammer enough?
A hammer is all it takes. Hammer drive wedge anchors are a one-piece design set by driving the pin with a hammer, which expands the wedge against the hole wall. No torque wrench, no setting punch, no epoxy, and no cure time, which is why electricians use them for repetitive overhead clamp and strut mounting.
4) Can a hammer drive wedge anchor be removed or reused later?
No. Once the 5/16 x 2 anchor is driven the wedge is permanently expanded in the hole. It cannot be backed out or reused. If the fixture has to come off and go back on repeatedly, use a removable female anchor such as a drop-in or a threaded insert so you can take the bolt out and leave the anchor in place.
5) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JHW5162?
Each jar holds 50 of the 5/16 x 2 inch anchors, and the jar is the pack unit this part ships in. That quantity covers a run of conduit clamps, strut, or box mounting on one floor without opening a second container.
6) What does the Metallics JHW5162 get used for on an electrical job?
It is an electrical-trade concrete fastener, 5/16 inch by 2 inch, used for anchoring conduit straps and clamps, strut channel, pull boxes, panel backing, and light fixture hangers to concrete slabs and walls. Metallics catalogues it as an electrical fastener, and the 50 piece jar suits point-by-point mounting rather than a single heavy base plate.
7) Is JHW5162 the full part number I order by?
Yes, JHW5162 is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the 5/16 x 2 inch zinc plated hammer drive wedge anchor in the 50 piece jar. There is one configuration under that number, so no size, finish, or pack option has to be specified separately.
