Metallics WAKJ14QD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Metallics 1/4 inch red wall anchor kit come with screws, or do I buy those separately?
Screws are included. The Metallics WAKJ14QD kit ships with 10 x 1 Quadrive screws with a 5/16 inch hex head, so you can mount straight out of the jar without sourcing a separate fastener. Driving them takes a 5/16 inch hex driver or socket.
2) Will a 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchor hold a TV mount or a grab bar?
Be careful here. The Metallics 1/4 inch red anchor is a light duty hollow wall anchor, suited to moderate loads: electrical boxes, conduit supports, thermostats, control panels, light fixtures, shelf and TV brackets, towel bars and bath accessories in drywall. For a true ADA grab bar or a heavy display, the load should go into blocking or a stud with a structural fastener rather than a light duty plastic anchor.
3) Can these anchors be used in concrete or masonry?
No. The Metallics 1/4 inch red anchor kit is built for drywall and hollow wall construction, where the anchor expands behind the wall face. Solid concrete, block or brick calls for a masonry anchor set in a hammer-drilled hole instead.
4) Is the Quadrive hex head screw driven with a hex driver or a bit?
Both work. The Quadrive head on the Metallics kit screw has a 5/16 inch hex that takes a standard nut driver or socket, and the Quadrive drive design is there to cut cam-out when you are running a lot of anchors overhead or in a tight box.
5) How do you install the Metallics 1/4 inch wall anchor in drywall?
Drill the pilot hole in the drywall or hollow wall, push the red anchor through your fixture hole and into the drilled hole, then tap it flush with a hammer if it stands proud. Run the included Quadrive screw through the bracket and thread it into the anchor with a 5/16 inch driver until the anchor expands behind the wall face. Don't keep driving after it seats, that is what strips a light duty anchor in gypsum.
6) What does the red color on these Metallics anchors mean?
Red is Metallics' size and duty identification for the 1/4 inch light duty anchor. On a job site with several anchor sizes in the van, the color lets a crew grab the right jar without reading each label. It is an identification code, not a material or coating property.
7) How are these Metallics wall anchors packaged for an MRO stockroom?
They ship in a jar, which keeps the anchors and screws together and contained on a shelf, in a gang box, or on a service cart. For a stockroom standardizing on one light duty anchor across a building, the jar plus matching screw means one line item instead of two.
8) Are Metallics wall anchor kits made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the Metallics 1/4 inch light duty anchor kit is the USA, which matters on public and institutional work with domestic sourcing requirements.
