Metallics WAKJ15B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics WAKJ15B blue wall anchors?
The WAKJ15B kit uses 5/16 inch light duty blue wall anchors, so the hole is drilled to 5/16 inch. Drill clean and square, tap the anchor flush, then drive the supplied screw to expand it against the back of the wall material.
2) Do the Metallics WAKJ15B anchors come with screws, or do I buy those separately?
Screws are included. The jar is packed with the 5/16 inch blue anchors and matching 14 x 1-1/2 pan head combo screws, so there is nothing else to order to set the anchor. Combo heads take either a Phillips or a slotted driver.
3) Are these Metallics blue anchors rated for heavy loads like conduit runs or panels?
No. The WAKJ15B is a light duty blue wall anchor. It suits low-weight work such as cover plates, low-voltage brackets, small raceway, and signage on hollow wall board. Conduit runs, panelboards, strut, and anything carrying real weight or vibration should land on framing or a toggle/heavy duty anchor instead.
4) Will a 1-1/2 inch screw be long enough for anchoring a device box or strap to drywall?
The 14 x 1-1/2 pan head screw in the WAKJ15B kit is sized to seat the 5/16 inch anchor and still leave grip for the item you are fastening. On standard 1/2 or 5/8 inch drywall that leaves room for a strap, bracket, or plate up to roughly 1/2 inch thick. If what you are hanging is thicker than that, the screw will bottom out in the anchor before it clamps, and you need a longer screw or a different anchor style.
5) Why buy wall anchors in a jar instead of a small carded pack?
The WAKJ15B ships as a jar of 5/16 inch anchors with the matching 14 x 1-1/2 combo screws already paired, which is how electrical and maintenance crews stock a truck or a shop bench. You pull anchor and screw together instead of hunting a screw that fits, and the container keeps the two from separating in a gang box.
6) What driver do I need for the screws in the Metallics WAKJ15B anchor kit?
Combo head, so either a #2 Phillips or a flat blade works. Pan head means the screw seats flat on the surface rather than countersinking, which is what you want against a metal strap or plate.
