Metallics WAK16QD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size drill bit do I need for the Metallics WAK16QD red plastic wall anchors?
The kit uses 3/16 inch red plastic wall anchors, so the hole is drilled with a 3/16 inch bit. Plastic anchors are sized to the hole, not the screw, so match the bit to the anchor diameter and drill clean and straight for a snug set.
2) Does the Metallics WAK16QD wall anchor kit come with screws, or do I buy those separately?
Screws are in the kit. It pairs the 3/16 inch red plastic anchors with #8 x 1 inch hex washer head tapping screws in zinc plated steel, so you have both halves of the fastening in one box.
3) Will these red plastic anchors hold in drywall for mounting device boxes and low voltage brackets?
For light electrical work, yes. The 3/16 inch red plastic anchors with #8 x 1 inch screws are a standard choice for mounting straps, brackets, plates and small enclosures to drywall, plaster, block and masonry. They are a light duty anchor, so anything carrying real weight or pull out load should go to a toggle or a masonry screw anchor instead.
4) Are the Metallics WAK16QD screws and anchors made in the USA?
Yes. Both the kit and the #8 x 1 tapping screws are called out as USA made, with the screws in zinc plated steel. That matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic content requirements.
5) Can I use the WAK16QD anchor kit outdoors or in a damp location?
The screws are zinc plated steel, which is a mild corrosion finish meant for dry interior use. For exterior walls, wet locations or coastal air, go to a stainless fastener instead; zinc plating will rust out in those conditions.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/16 red plastic wall anchor kit?
Order it as Metallics WAK16QD. That covers the 3/16 red plastic anchors with the matching #8 x 1 hex washer head Quadrex tapping screws.
