Metallics WAK14TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics WAK14TB include the blue plastic wall anchors, or just the screws?
Screws only. The WAK14TB is the replacement screw component for the 1/4 inch blue plastic wall anchor kit, so if you need the plastic anchors themselves you have to order those separately. Buyers restocking a service van usually keep both on hand, since the anchors are the part that gets used up on drywall work.
2) What size screw comes with the Metallics WAK14TB anchor kit?
It is a #10 x 1 inch pan head screw, zinc plated steel, made in the USA. That is the screw sized to drive into Metallics' 1/4 inch blue plastic wall anchors, so it matches the anchor bore rather than being a general purpose sheet metal screw.
3) Can I use these screws straight into drywall without an anchor?
No. A #10 x 1 inch screw driven into bare gypsum has nothing to grip and will strip out under load. The screw is part of the 1/4 inch blue plastic wall anchor system, and the anchor is what does the holding by expanding against the back of the board. Drill for the anchor, tap it in flush, then drive the screw.
4) Will a #10 x 1 inch zinc plated screw hold up in an outdoor or damp location?
Zinc plated steel is a dry interior finish. It handles normal indoor humidity fine for mounting boxes, conduit straps, brackets and fixtures to drywall or masonry, but for exterior walls, wet locations or coastal exposure you want stainless rather than zinc plated carbon steel.
5) What driver do I need for the Metallics WAK14TB screws?
They are pan head screws with a combination drive, so a #2 Phillips bit seats them in most cases. Pan head means a flat-bottomed, rounded top that bears on the surface of the plate or strap you are fastening, not a countersunk head, so do not plan on these sitting flush in a chamfered hole.
