Metallics WAKJ1415H – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics WAKJ1415H plastic anchor kit?
The WAKJ1415H kit uses 5/16 inch red plastic anchors, so you drill with a 5/16 inch masonry bit and drill deeper than the anchor is long so dust clears. Screws in the kit are #10 x 1-1/2 inch, so the hole needs to accept the full 1-1/2 inch of anchor and screw engagement.
2) Does the Metallics WAKJ1415H anchor kit come with the screws, or do I buy those separately?
Screws are included. The kit pairs 5/16 inch red plastic anchors with #10 x 1-1/2 inch hex washer head slotted sheet metal screws in zinc plated steel, so you only need the drill and bit.
3) Can I drive the WAKJ1415H screws with a nut driver instead of a screwdriver?
Yes. The #10 x 1-1/2 inch screws in this Metallics kit have a hex washer head with a slot, so you can run them with a nut driver on a hex head or use a flat blade screwdriver in the slot. Overhead electrical work usually goes faster with the nut driver.
4) Are plastic anchors like this the right choice for mounting boxes and straps to concrete block?
Plastic expansion anchors like the 5/16 inch red anchors in the Metallics WAKJ1415H kit are for light duty mounting in masonry, block, brick, and concrete: device boxes, straps, clamps, small raceway. The screw expands the anchor against the hole wall. For heavier loads, overhead support of conduit runs, or anything carrying vibration, step up to a steel anchor such as a sleeve or wedge anchor rather than plastic.
5) Will the zinc plated screws in this anchor kit hold up outdoors?
The screws are zinc plated steel, which is a mild corrosion finish suited to dry interior work. For wet locations, exterior walls, or coastal exposure, specify a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead of this zinc plated kit.
6) Is the WAKJ1415H kit one part number for both anchors and screws when I order?
Yes, Metallics sells it as a single kit under part number WAKJ1415H, with the 5/16 inch anchors and the matched #10 x 1-1/2 inch screws together. That keeps the anchor and screw diameter correctly paired, which matters because an undersized screw will not expand a 5/16 anchor properly.
