Metallics JHW586 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics JHW586 hammer drive wedge anchor?
Drill 5/8 inch. The JHW586 is a 5/8 x 6 inch hammer drive wedge anchor, and wedge anchors use a hole the same nominal diameter as the anchor body, drilled through a hammer-drilled carbide bit in concrete. Drill the hole at least as deep as your intended embedment so the expansion clip seats below the surface.
2) Is the Metallics JHW586 anchor rated for outdoor or wet use?
The JHW586 is zinc plated carbon steel (Zn-C), which is a corrosion coating for dry interior and sheltered conditions. For a wet exterior slab, standing water, or anything near chlorides, step up to a stainless wedge anchor rather than zinc plated.
3) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JHW586?
Ten anchors per jar. The JHW586 ships in jar packaging, so the 5/8 x 6 inch wedge anchors come as a count of 10 rather than loose or bulk boxed.
4) How thick a fixture can I bolt down with a 6 inch wedge anchor?
A 5/8 x 6 inch wedge anchor gives you 6 inches of total length, and that length is split between embedment in the concrete and the stickout through your fixture plus nut and washer. Deep base plates, equipment rails, and shimmed strut bases are what the 6 inch length is for. If you are only fastening a thin bracket, a shorter 5/8 anchor leaves less excess thread standing proud.
5) Should I use a wedge anchor or a sleeve anchor for mounting equipment to a concrete floor?
Wedge anchors like the JHW586 are for solid, poured concrete and are the usual choice for floor mounted equipment, strut bases, and machine feet because the expansion clip bites in a single tight hole. Sleeve anchors are the choice when you are fastening into block, brick, or hollow base material where a wedge clip has nothing solid to grab. In hollow block, do not substitute this anchor.
6) Can the Metallics JHW586 anchor be removed or reused?
No. Hammer drive wedge anchors set permanently, the clip expands against the hole wall and will not retract. You can back the nut off and remove the fixture, but the anchor body stays in the slab. If you need a removable fastening, use a female threaded insert instead of a wedge anchor.
7) Do I need anything else to install these anchors besides the anchors themselves?
The JHW586 wedge anchors come with the nut and washer assembled on the threaded end, so no separate hardware is needed to make them up. What you do need on site is a rotary hammer with a 5/8 inch carbide bit, a blow out bulb or vacuum to clear the hole, a hammer to drive the anchor, and a torque wrench or socket to pull the nut up and set the clip.
8) What is the Metallics part number for a 5/8 by 6 inch zinc wedge anchor?
JHW586 is the Metallics part number for the 5/8 x 6 inch hammer drive wedge anchor in zinc plated carbon steel, sold in a 10 count jar.
