Metallics SWA5860 Anchors 5/8 x 6" Ckd Cnct Wedg (Jar 10)

The SWA5860 is a 5/8 inch diameter wedge anchor, so the hole in the concrete is drilled with a 5/8 inch carbide bit. Wedge anchors are sized so the anchor diameter equals the bit diameter, and the anchor drops straight into the drilled hole. Drill the hole deeper than the intended embedment so cuttings have somewhere to go.

No. Wedge anchors work by expanding a clip against the wall of a drilled hole, which requires solid poured concrete to develop hold. Hollow block, brick, and mortar joints will crush or blow out. For those bases use a sleeve anchor or a screen tube and adhesive instead.

At 6 inches overall length, the SWA5860 gives you plenty of stickout past typical embedment, so it suits thicker base plates, heavy equipment feet, and structural standoffs rather than thin bracket work. The usable grip is the 6 inch length minus however deep you set the anchor in the concrete. If you are only fastening a thin plate, a shorter 5/8 anchor leaves less excess thread to deal with.

Ten anchors per jar. The pack type is a jar rather than a bulk box, which is the quantity most electrical and mechanical contractors want for strut racks, transformer pads, or equipment anchoring on a single job rather than a pallet buy.

Yes. Wedge anchors are through-fixture anchors: drill through the mounting hole into the concrete, drive the anchor so the nut and washer sit on top of the plate, then tighten to set the expansion clip. That makes the 5/8 x 6 inch SWA5860 workable on equipment already positioned, unlike a drop-in anchor that has to be set before the fixture goes down.
