Metallics TS5164 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics TS5164 wedge anchor?
The TS5164 is a 5/16 inch diameter wedge anchor, so it goes into a 5/16 inch hole drilled with a carbide bit. Wedge anchors are drilled to match the anchor diameter exactly, then the anchor is driven through the fixture into the hole and the nut tightened to expand the wedge clip against the concrete.
2) Can I use Metallics TS5164 wedge anchors in block or brick?
Wedge anchors like the TS5164 are made for solid, poured concrete. They expand by friction against the hole wall, which hollow block and brick won't reliably provide, and the shell can blow out the face. Use a sleeve anchor or a screw anchor rated for masonry in block and brick instead.
3) Are the Metallics TS5164 anchors corrosion resistant enough for outdoor use?
The TS5164 is a zinc plated carbon steel anchor. Zinc plating handles interior and dry or occasionally damp conditions. For permanently wet, exterior coastal, or chemically exposed locations, specify a stainless wedge anchor instead, since the plating will eventually give up in standing water.
4) What is the correct Metallics part number for a 5/16 x 4 zinc wedge anchor?
Order part number TS5164. That designation is the Metallics 5/16 by 4 inch zinc plated steel wedge anchor supplied 100 to a box.
5) Can a wedge anchor be removed or reused once it's set?
No. Once the TS5164 is driven and torqued, the clip is permanently expanded in the hole. You can back the nut off and remove the fixture, but the anchor body stays. To clear it, cut or grind it flush, or drive it below the surface and patch. Plan a new hole for any relocation.
