Metallics WAK15QDB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/4 inch light duty blue anchor hold in drywall for electrical boxes or conduit straps?
It is a light duty anchor, so treat it that way. The WAK15QDB 1/4 inch blue anchor with a #12 x 1-1/4 screw suits low-load work such as straps, small device plates, raceway and signage in hollow drywall or plaster. For heavier electrical gear, panels, or anything carrying cable weight or vibration, step up to a toggle or a masonry anchor into solid substrate.
2) What screw comes with the Metallics WAK15QDB blue wall anchor kit?
The WAK15QDB kit is built around a #12 x 1-1/4 inch hex head screw with a Quadrive recess and a 5/16 inch hex head. That means you can run it with a 5/16 nut driver or socket, or drive it with the Quadrive recess if you prefer a bit. It pairs with the 1/4 inch light duty blue wall anchor.
3) What size hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch blue plastic wall anchor?
Drill to match the anchor body. The Metallics WAK15QDB uses a 1/4 inch light duty blue wall anchor, so the pilot hole is sized to the 1/4 inch anchor diameter and the anchor is tapped flush before the #12 x 1-1/4 screw is driven in to expand it.
4) Is the WAK15QDB screw long enough to go through a 1/2 inch drywall and still grab?
Yes. At 1-1/4 inches, the #12 screw passes through 1/2 inch board plus the fixture and still has length left to expand the 1/4 inch anchor behind it. If the item you are mounting is thick, measure your fixture: anything over about 1/2 inch of standoff eats into the thread engagement in the anchor.
5) Can I drive these anchor screws with a cordless impact or do I need a hand driver?
The 5/16 hex head takes a nut setter in a drill or impact, and the Quadrive recess in the same head gives you a second option if the head is in a tight spot. Back off the clutch: these are plastic light duty anchors and overdriving spins them in the hole.
