Metallics TS786D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wedge anchor is the Metallics TS786D, and how many come in a box?
The TS786D is a 7/8 x 6 inch wedge anchor in zinc plated steel, packed 10 to a box. The 7/8 inch is the anchor diameter, which is also the hole diameter you drill in the concrete, and 6 inches is the overall anchor length.
2) What hole do I drill for a 7/8 inch wedge anchor like the Metallics TS786D?
Drill 7/8 inch with a carbide hammer bit. Wedge anchors are sized so the nominal diameter matches the bit, so the 7/8 inch TS786D goes into a 7/8 inch hole drilled deeper than the embedment you need, with the hole blown clean before the anchor is driven.
3) Can I use the Metallics TS786D wedge anchor outdoors or in a damp location?
The TS786D is zinc plated steel, which suits dry interior concrete and covered exterior work. For standing water, coastal exposure, or chemical washdown, zinc plating is not the right call and a stainless or hot dip galvanized anchor of the same 7/8 inch diameter is the better choice.
4) Will a 6 inch long wedge anchor work for mounting a heavy strut rack or panel to a concrete wall?
At 6 inches overall, the 7/8 x 6 TS786D leaves plenty of length for thick fixtures: your usable embedment is the 6 inches minus the thickness of the material you are clamping plus the nut and washer stack. For a thin bracket you will be setting the anchor deep, so confirm your slab or wall has the depth to take it.
5) Is a wedge anchor the right choice, or should I use a sleeve anchor or adhesive anchor?
A wedge anchor like the 7/8 x 6 TS786D is for solid poured concrete only, and it is the heavy duty mechanical pick for structural attachments. In hollow block or brick, the clip has nothing to expand against, so use a sleeve anchor there. For oversized or close to edge holes, or where you cannot apply setting torque, an adhesive anchor is the better route.
6) Do Metallics TS786D wedge anchors come with nuts and washers?
Wedge anchors in this style ship as an assembly, with the expansion clip, nut, and washer on the stud. You do not order those separately. What is not included is the carbide bit, hammer drill, or any epoxy, since a wedge anchor is a mechanical anchor set by torquing the nut.
7) Can a wedge anchor be removed or reused after it is set?
No. Once the TS786D is torqued and the clip has expanded into the concrete, the anchor is permanent. The nut and the fixture come off, but the stud stays. If it is in the way, cut it flush or drive it below the surface and patch. Plan your layout before you drill.
8) I only need two anchors. Can I buy the Metallics TS786D individually?
The TS786D 7/8 x 6 wedge anchor is sold as a box of 10, so 10 pieces is the unit of sale. For MRO stock or a repeat install standardizing on one anchor diameter, the box quantity is usually what you want anyway.
