Metallics WAKJ15SB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics WAKJ15SB wall anchor kit include screws, or do I have to buy them separately?
Screws are included. The WAKJ15SB jar pairs 1/4 inch red light duty plastic wall anchors with #12 x 1-1/4 inch hex head slotted screws, so each anchor has its matching fastener in the same jar. Nothing else is needed to hang the item beyond a drill and the correct bit.
2) Is a light duty red wall anchor strong enough for a heavy fixture or an electrical panel?
No. The WAKJ15SB is a light duty plastic anchor kit, meant for light loads in hollow drywall or plaster: small boxes, conduit straps, nameplates, low voltage plates, light trim. For a heavy fixture, a panel, or anything with pull-out or vibration load, use a toggle, a metal self-drilling anchor, or fasten straight into a stud or masonry anchor instead.
3) What size hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchor?
Drill to match the anchor body: these are 1/4 inch anchors, so a 1/4 inch bit is what they seat in. Drill through the wallboard, tap the anchor flush, then drive the supplied #12 x 1-1/4 inch screw to expand it against the back of the board.
4) Can I use these red plastic anchors in concrete or block?
Plastic ribbed anchors of this type will set in a drilled hole in concrete, block, or brick as well as hollow drywall, but the holding value in masonry is still light duty. For anything structural in concrete, move to a sleeve or wedge anchor rather than a 1/4 inch plastic anchor.
5) What driver do I need for the screws in the Metallics anchor jar?
The screws are hex head with a slot, so a nut driver sized to the hex head is fastest, and a flat blade screwdriver works in the slot when you cannot get a socket on it. That dual drive is why electricians like these on panel covers and strap work where access is tight.
6) Is the WAKJ15SB sold as a bulk jar or as a small pack?
It ships as a jar, which is the shop or truck-stock format Metallics uses for these anchor and screw combinations. That is the format an MRO or service van buyer wants when the same 1/4 inch anchor gets used across many small jobs rather than a single install.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4 inch red anchor and screw jar?
Order it as Metallics WAKJ15SB. That number covers the 1/4 inch red light duty wall anchors packed with the #12 x 1-1/4 inch hex slotted screws in one jar.
