Metallics LCS5840SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a sleeve or shield to install the LCS5840SS, or does it screw straight into concrete?
No shield, sleeve, or expansion insert is needed. A large-diameter hex head screw anchor like the LCS5840SS is driven directly into a pre-drilled hole in concrete and cuts its own threads, so you drill, blow the hole clean, and drive it with a socket on the hex head. That also makes it removable, unlike a wedge or sleeve anchor.
2) What drill bit size do I use for a 5/8 inch large diameter concrete screw anchor?
Large-diameter screw anchors are drilled with a carbide bit matching the nominal anchor diameter, so a 5/8 inch anchor like the LCS5840SS takes a 5/8 inch bit. At 4 inches of anchor length, drill the hole deeper than your intended embedment so dust has somewhere to go, and subtract the thickness of whatever you are fastening down from the 4 inches to work out how much anchor is actually going into the concrete.
3) Is the Metallics LCS5840SS a stainless hex head screw anchor or a stainless-capped carbon anchor?
Metallics catalogues the LCS5840SS as a stainless steel large-diameter hex head anchor, 5/8 inch by 4 inches, sold 10 to a box. If you are specifying by part number, LCS5840SS is the identifier to put on the order.
4) Can I use a 5/8 x 4 stainless screw anchor outdoors or in a damp location?
Stainless construction is the reason to pick the LCS5840SS over a carbon steel screw anchor. It holds up better in exterior concrete, wash-down areas, parking structures, and coastal or chemically damp environments where plated anchors corrode and lose holding value.
5) What is this 5/8 x 4 anchor typically used for on electrical and mechanical jobs?
This size gets used for the heavier attachments to concrete and block: strut and trapeze supports, transformer and panel mounting, generator and equipment pads, pipe hangers, and machine bases. The 5/8 inch hex head takes a socket or impact wrench, and the 4 inch length gives you room to go through a base plate or channel and still get meaningful embedment.
