Metallics JTS5163D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a Metallics JTS5163D 5/16 x 3 wedge anchor?
A 5/16 inch wedge anchor is set in a 5/16 inch hole drilled with a carbide hammer-drill bit, since wedge anchors use a bit diameter matching the anchor diameter. The JTS5163D is the 5/16 by 3 inch length, so drill the hole deeper than the intended embedment to leave room for dust and for the anchor to be driven fully.
2) Will a 5/16 x 3 inch wedge anchor work for mounting strut and conduit straps to a concrete ceiling?
Yes, that is the normal use for the Metallics JTS5163D. It is a steel zinc plated wedge anchor for cured concrete, and the 3 inch length leaves usable thread stick-out after embedment for a strut channel, pipe strap, or clip plus a nut and washer. Wedge anchors are for solid concrete only, not block, brick, or hollow base material.
3) Is a zinc plated wedge anchor like the JTS5163D OK for outdoor or wet locations?
The JTS5163D is steel with zinc plating, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry interior concrete work. For exposed exterior, damp, or chemically aggressive locations, specify a stainless wedge anchor instead. Zinc plated steel will rust where it stays wet.
4) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JTS5163D?
100 pieces per jar. Pack type is a jar, so it ships as a single container of 100 of the 5/16 by 3 inch anchors rather than loose count, which is how an electrical or MRO stockroom usually wants them for repeat conduit and strut work.
5) Do Metallics wedge anchors come with nuts and washers?
Wedge anchors of this type are supplied as a complete assembly: the threaded stud with the expansion clip, plus the nut and washer already on the thread. You drive the anchor through the fixture into the hole and tighten the nut to expand the clip. No separate hardware purchase is needed for the anchor itself.
6) Can I reuse or back out a wedge anchor after it is set?
No. Once a 5/16 wedge anchor is driven and the nut torqued, the expansion clip grips the hole wall permanently and the anchor cannot be removed intact or reused. If you need a removable fastener in concrete, use a female anchor such as a drop-in or an internally threaded sleeve so the bolt can be taken out and the anchor stays in the slab.
