Metallics WAKJ23QD Anchor 1/4" Light Duty Gray Ribbed Wall Anchor Jar w/ 10 x 1 Quadrive 5/16 Hex Head Screw USA SCREW ONLY

Screws only. The WAKJ23QD is the replacement screw for the 1/4 inch light duty gray ribbed wall anchor jar assortment, and it ships without the anchors themselves. If you need the plastic anchors too, order the complete anchor jar rather than this screw pack.

It's a #10 x 1 inch screw with a 5/16 inch hex head and a Quadrive recess. That means you can run it with a 5/16 socket or nut driver, or drive it from the recess with a square or Phillips-style bit, which is handy when you're overhead in a ceiling box or tight to a wall.

Yes, that's exactly what the WAKJ23QD screw is matched to: Metallics 1/4 inch light duty gray ribbed wall anchors. The #10 x 1 inch length is sized so the threads bite the full depth of that anchor body and expand the ribs against the drywall or hollow block. Using a longer or heavier screw in a light duty 1/4 inch anchor tends to split the anchor instead of setting it.

Light duty mounting in drywall and hollow walls, which on an electrical job means things like low-voltage brackets, small device plates, cable clips, raceway, and signage. Light duty is the operative word: for a heavy fixture, a panel, or anything in the ceiling carrying real load, move up to a toggle or a masonry anchor instead of a 1/4 inch ribbed plastic anchor.

Yes, the WAKJ23QD screws are USA made. For electrical contractors and MRO buyers working jobs with domestic-sourcing language in the spec, that's the detail worth noting on a fastener line item.
