Metallics WAK15QD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What comes in the Metallics WAK15QD wall anchor kit?
The WAK15QD is a matched kit: 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchors paired with #12 x 1-1/4 inch hex washer head screws in a quadrex drive, zinc plated steel, made in the USA. The screws are tapping screws, so they cut their own thread into the plastic anchor as you drive them. Because the screw gauge and length are already matched to the anchor, you are not hunting for the right fastener on the truck.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchor?
Match the bit to the anchor body: the WAK15QD uses 1/4 inch red plastic anchors, so a 1/4 inch hole is what they seat in. Drill clean and straight, tap the anchor flush with the wall surface, then drive the supplied #12 x 1-1/4 screw to expand it.
3) Will a plastic wall anchor kit like this hold in concrete or block, or is it drywall only?
Red plastic expansion anchors like the ones in the WAK15QD are meant for solid base material, masonry, block, brick, and plaster, where the anchor body can compress against the sides of the hole. They are not a hollow wall anchor. In hollow drywall with nothing behind it there is nothing for the anchor to bear on, so use a toggle or a self drilling drywall anchor instead, or hit a stud.
4) Can I drive these Metallics anchor screws with a nut driver instead of a bit?
Either works. The screws in the WAK15QD are hex washer head with a quadrex drive, so you can run them with a 5/16 inch nut driver on the hex or with a driver bit in the recess. Electricians mounting straps and boxes overhead usually take the hex, since the driver holds the screw for you.
5) Are the screws in this Metallics anchor kit corrosion protected for damp locations?
The fasteners in the WAK15QD are steel with a zinc plating, which handles normal interior and dry-location work. Zinc plating is a light coating, not hot dip galvanizing or stainless, so for wet exterior or corrosive environments specify a stainless fastener instead.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchor kit?
Order it as Metallics WAK15QD. That covers the 1/4 inch red plastic anchors together with the matching #12 x 1-1/4 inch hex washer head quadrex tapping screws.
