Metallics J6222SS Anchors 5/8 x 2-1/4 Slv &NT SS (Jar 25)

Sleeve anchors are drilled at the same nominal diameter as the anchor, so a 5/8 inch sleeve anchor takes a 5/8 inch carbide bit in concrete, block or brick. The 2-1/4 inch length is the overall anchor, so your fixture thickness comes out of that before you count embedment, drill the hole deeper than the anchor to clear dust.

Sleeve anchors like the 5/8 x 2-1/4 J6222SS expand along the length of the sleeve, so they hold in hollow concrete block and brick as well as solid concrete, which is where they have the edge over a wedge anchor. A wedge anchor is the pick for solid poured concrete only and generally for heavier shear loads. For block walls carrying conduit racks or panel enclosures, the sleeve anchor is the right type.

Twenty-five anchors per jar. That is the pack unit, so a single order quantity gets you 25 pieces of the 5/8 x 2-1/4 stainless sleeve anchor with nuts, not one anchor.

It is a stainless steel sleeve anchor, which is the material you want for exterior walls, damp mechanical rooms, coastal sites and wash-down areas where a plated carbon steel anchor would rust and stain the concrete. Used with the supplied nut for mounting strut, conduit supports and enclosures.

The nut ships with the anchor, that is the NT in J6222SS. Nothing else is needed to set it beyond a 5/8 inch hammer drill bit and a wrench to tighten the nut and expand the sleeve.

At 2-1/4 inches overall, whatever thickness of strut, plate or bracket you clamp comes off the embedded length. Thin material like 1-5/8 strut channel leaves plenty of anchor in the wall, a thick steel base plate does not, and for those you want a longer 5/8 inch anchor instead of this one.
