Metallics LCS5840 Anchors 5/8 x 4 Hx Hd Lg Dia CS St-zn (Box 10)

A 5/8 inch sleeve anchor sets in a 5/8 inch hole, drilled with a carbide bit for concrete. The anchor diameter matches the drill size on this style, so the 5/8 x 4 LCS5840 needs a 5/8 inch carbide-drilled hole at least as deep as the embedment you want.

Zinc plating on carbon steel is a light corrosion coating meant for dry interior or sheltered use. For exposed exterior, wet, or coastal work, step up to a stainless sleeve or wedge anchor instead of the zinc plated LCS5840.

Hex head sleeve anchors like the LCS5840 are the masonry anchor of choice when the base material varies, because the expanding sleeve spreads load over the hole wall. That makes them usable in poured concrete, solid brick, and grout filled block, unlike a wedge anchor which is a concrete-only anchor.

Length gets split between embedment and the thickness of what you are fastening. With 4 inches of overall length on the LCS5840, plan on roughly half of it in the concrete and the rest through the fixture, so it suits mounting heavier items such as strut racks, machine bases, and equipment stands rather than thin sheet material where a shorter anchor works better.

The hex head on the LCS5840 gives you a washered bolt head you can torque with a socket or impact wrench, which is what you want for structural and equipment mounting. Acorn and flat head versions exist for appearance or flush applications, but they cannot be driven as hard.

Yes. Metallics catalogs the LCS5840 as an electrical fastener, and a 5/8 x 4 hex head sleeve anchor is the size electricians reach for on heavier concrete attachments, such as strut and channel supports, transformer and panel frames, and equipment pads.
