Metallics TS786 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What hole size do I drill for a 7/8 inch wedge anchor like the Metallics TS786?
Wedge anchors are drilled at the same nominal diameter as the anchor, so the TS786 goes into a 7/8 inch hole drilled with a carbide hammer bit. Drill the hole deeper than your embedment so dust has somewhere to go, then drive the anchor through the fixture and tighten the nut to expand the clip.
2) Is the zinc plated TS786 anchor okay for outdoor or wet locations?
The TS786 is zinc plated steel, which is a dry interior finish. Zinc plating will corrode in weather, standing water, or chemical exposure, so for exterior or damp installs use a hot dip galvanized or stainless wedge anchor instead.
3) Can I use a 7/8 x 6 wedge anchor in block or brick, or is it concrete only?
Wedge anchors like the TS786 are designed for solid, poured concrete. Hollow block and brick crush or blow out under the expansion clip at this size, so for masonry use a sleeve anchor or a screen tube and adhesive anchor instead.
4) How much of the 6 inch anchor length is usable for my fixture thickness?
On a wedge anchor the 6 inch overall length is split between embedment in the concrete and the stick-out that passes through your fixture and takes the nut. The clip sits at the bottom, so the deeper you embed for full capacity, the less thread is left above the surface. Add your base plate thickness plus washer and nut to the embedment you need and confirm that total stays under 6 inches.
5) Does the Metallics TS786 wedge anchor come with a nut and washer?
Wedge anchors ship as a complete assembly, the threaded stud with the expansion clip, plus the hex nut and washer used to set it. No separate hardware is needed to install the TS786, though you will need a carbide hammer bit and a torque wrench.
