Metallics TS507 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a 5/8 inch wedge anchor like the TS507?
A wedge anchor is drilled with a hammer-drill bit matching the anchor diameter, so a 5/8 inch anchor takes a 5/8 inch carbide bit. Drill through the fixture where possible, blow the hole clean, then drive the anchor until the threads clear the fixture and tighten the nut to expand the wedge.
2) Will a wedge anchor work in hollow block or does it need solid concrete?
Wedge anchors are solid-base anchors. The TS507 expands against the wall of a drilled hole and needs poured concrete to develop its hold. In hollow CMU, brick, or anything with voids, the wedge has nothing to bear on. Use a sleeve anchor, a screw anchor rated for block, or a toggle for hollow walls, and never set a wedge anchor in drywall or plaster.
3) Can I use the Metallics TS507 wedge anchor outdoors or in a damp location?
It is zinc-plated steel, which suits dry interior and sheltered work. Zinc plating is a mild corrosion coating, not marine protection, so for exterior exposure, wash-down areas, or anything in contact with treated lumber, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized anchor instead.
4) Do I need any extra hardware with Metallics TS507 anchors?
No. Wedge anchors come as a complete assembly, nut and washer included on the threaded end, so the box of 10 is ready to set. What you do need on hand is a 5/8 inch carbide hammer-drill bit, a rotary hammer with the depth to reach full embedment, something to blow the hole clean, and a torque wrench if your spec calls out an installation torque.
5) Can wedge anchors be removed or reused later?
They are permanent. Once the nut is tightened and the wedge expands, the TS507 cannot be backed out of the hole. If a fixture comes off later, you cut or grind the stud flush and patch. When you need a fastening you can take out and reset, use a threaded insert or a female drop-in anchor instead.
