Metallics J6242 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What hole size do I drill for a 5/8 inch sleeve anchor like the Metallics J6242?
Sleeve anchors are drilled at the same nominal diameter as the anchor, so a 5/8 inch carbide bit for the J6242. The 4-1/4 inch length means you need hole depth beyond your fixture thickness, so figure embedment plus whatever the mounting bracket or channel adds.
2) Can I use the Metallics J6242 sleeve anchor in block or brick, or is it concrete only?
Sleeve anchors are the general purpose masonry anchor of the group, which is why electrical contractors keep them on the truck: the expanding sleeve spreads load over the hole wall, so they work in solid concrete, brick and hollow block where a wedge anchor wants solid concrete only. The J6242 is the 5/8 by 4-1/4 size with the nut included.
3) Is a zinc plated sleeve anchor OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The J6242 is zinc plated steel, which is a dry to lightly damp interior finish. For sustained exterior exposure, wash down areas, or anywhere chlorides are present, move to a stainless sleeve anchor in the same 5/8 inch diameter instead.
4) Does the Metallics J6242 anchor come with the nut and washer, or do I buy those separately?
The nut ships with the anchor on the J6242, so the assembly is ready to set: drill, drop the sleeve through the fixture, tighten the nut to expand it. No separate thread hardware to order.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 5/8 x 4-1/4 zinc sleeve anchor?
Order it as Metallics J6242. That number covers the 5/8 by 4-1/4 inch zinc plated steel sleeve anchor with nut, jar of 10, and it is the single configuration of that item.
