Metallics MBST1122116 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many anchors come in a box of Metallics MBST1122116?
Each box of the MBST1122116 frame plug holds 300 pieces. That is a bulk pack sized for production work, hanging door and window frames or running conduit and strut across a whole floor, rather than a small job-box quantity.
2) What is a frame plug anchor used for versus a standard expansion plug?
A frame plug like the Metallics 10 x 160mm is a long sleeve anchor meant to be driven straight through a hollow item such as a door or window frame, a furring batten, or a mounting rail, and on into the masonry behind it. Because the sleeve spans the full thickness of whatever you are fixing, the load is carried in the base material and the frame is not crushed or distorted when you tighten up. A short expansion plug only works where you can drill directly into the wall and fix the item flat against it. At 160mm, this one is sized for thicker frames and deeper setbacks.
3) Can I use a 10 x 160mm nylon frame plug for mounting conduit straps and boxes on block walls?
Yes, that is a normal use for it. The Metallics MBST1122116 is catalogued for electrical work, and a 10mm nylon sleeve suits strut, strap, box, and panel mounting on masonry. The 160mm length is longer than most box fixings need, so it pays off where you are going through insulation, furring, or a thick finish before you reach solid material; for a fixing straight onto bare block, a shorter plug is the easier choice.
4) Is the Metallics MBST1122116 anchor metal or plastic?
The plug body is nylon. Nylon will not rust or stain the surrounding masonry, and it gives some electrical isolation between the fixing and the base material, which is why these are commonly specified on electrical and low-voltage mounting work as well as on frames.
5) Does the Metallics MBST1122116 frame plug come with screws?
The product is sold as the nylon plug in a 300 piece pack. Treat the fastener as a separate line on the order and match the screw diameter and length to the 160mm plug so the point reaches the far end of the sleeve and expands it fully in the base material.
