Metallics JTS5412SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a 5/8 inch wedge anchor?
A 5/8 inch wedge anchor is set in a 5/8 inch diameter hole, drilled with a carbide bit in concrete. Anchor diameter and bit size match on wedge anchors, which is what separates them from sleeve or screw anchors. Drill the hole deeper than the intended embedment so dust has somewhere to go, blow it clean, then drive the anchor and torque the nut to expand the clip.
2) Can I use a stainless wedge anchor in block or brick instead of concrete?
No. Wedge anchors like the JTS5412SS are for solid, poured concrete. In hollow block or brick the clip has nothing solid to expand against and the hole can blow out at the face. For block or brick use a sleeve anchor, a screw anchor rated for masonry, or an adhesive anchor with a screen tube.
3) How thick a fixture can the 4-1/2 inch length of this wedge anchor hold down?
The 4-1/2 inch overall length is split between embedment in the concrete and the thickness of what you are fastening. Subtract your fixture thickness plus the nut and washer from 4-1/2 inches to see what embedment you have left. On a 5/8 inch anchor that usually leaves room for a strut base, a pipe stand foot, or a piece of angle, but not a thick grout bed plus a heavy base plate.
4) Is stainless steel the right anchor for an outdoor rooftop or coastal install?
That is the case for this one. The JTS5412SS is a stainless wedge anchor, so it holds up where plated carbon steel anchors streak and corrode, rooftop equipment curbs, exterior transformer and generator pads, car wash bays, pool rooms, and anything within reach of salt air. Pair it with stainless hardware so you are not setting up a dissimilar metal problem at the nut.
5) Are the nut and washer included with the Metallics JTS5412SS anchor?
Yes. Wedge anchors ship as a complete assembly, the threaded stud with the expansion clip, plus the nut and washer already on the threads. All you add is the carbide bit, a hammer drill, and a wrench to torque the nut. 25 complete anchors per jar.
6) Can a wedge anchor be removed and reused later?
No. Once the nut is torqued, the clip on a 5/8 inch wedge anchor is permanently expanded against the hole wall. If you have to abandon one, back the nut off and drive the stud below the surface, then patch, or cut it flush. Plan the layout before you drill, since 25 anchors per jar gives you limited room for do-overs on a 5/8 inch hole pattern.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the 5/8 x 4-1/2 stainless wedge anchor?
Order it as Metallics JTS5412SS. That number covers the 5/8 inch by 4-1/2 inch stainless steel wedge anchor in the 25 count jar.
