Metallics WAKJ14QB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics WAKJ14QB blue wall anchor kit come with screws, or do I have to buy those separately?
Screws are included. The WAKJ14QB jar pairs 1/4 inch light duty blue plastic wall anchors with #10 x 1 inch hex slotted quick screws, so each anchor has its matching fastener in the same container. No separate screw order is needed to install them.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch blue plastic wall anchor?
Drill to match the anchor body: the WAKJ14QB anchors are 1/4 inch, so a 1/4 inch bit in drywall, plaster, block or masonry gives the correct fit. The anchor should tap in flush with the surface before the #10 x 1 inch screw is driven; an oversized hole is the usual reason a plastic anchor spins.
3) Are these Metallics blue anchors strong enough to hang an electrical box or light fixture?
They are rated light duty, which is what the blue plastic conical anchor is built for: low voltage brackets, small device boxes, cable clips, straps, signage and trim. For a heavy fixture, a fan box, or anything in overhead drywall carrying real load, step up to a toggle or a screw-in metal anchor instead.
4) How long a screw do the WAKJ14QB anchors take, and will 1 inch reach through my drywall?
The kit ships with #10 x 1 inch screws. That length suits standard 1/2 inch drywall, plaster, or a thin bracket on block, since the screw only needs to seat inside the anchor body, not pass through it. If you are fastening through a thick mounting plate or spacer, the 1 inch screw may not engage enough of the anchor and a longer #10 should be used.
5) Can I use these blue plastic anchors in concrete or block, or only drywall?
Plastic conical anchors of this type work in drywall, plaster, block, brick and concrete as long as the hole is clean and drilled to 1/4 inch. In solid masonry you need a hammer drill and a masonry bit; in hollow drywall the anchor relies on the flare behind the board, so keep loads light.
6) What driver do I need for the screws in this Metallics anchor jar?
They are hex slotted quick screws, so a 1/4 inch nut driver or hex socket works, and a flat blade fits the slot if you are working in tight quarters. Electricians usually drive them with the nut driver already in hand for box screws.
7) Is the WAKJ14QB sold as a bulk jar for a service truck or as a small pack?
It is a jar assortment of the 1/4 inch blue anchors with their #10 x 1 inch screws, packaged for shop or truck stock rather than as a single-use blister. That makes it a common MRO and maintenance-crew item for repeat drywall mounting work.
