Metallics WAK1415H – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will plastic wall anchors hold in drywall, or do I need a toggle?
Ribbed plastic anchors like the Metallics WAK1415H kit are intended for solid base material, masonry, block, brick, concrete and plaster, where the anchor can be fully supported in the hole. In hollow drywall they only grip the thin board face and pull out under load, so for a hollow wall use a toggle bolt or a hollow wall anchor instead. Use the plastic anchors where the drill brings up masonry dust.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 5/16 red plastic anchor?
Drill the hole to the anchor's own body diameter, 5/16 inch, using a masonry bit, and drill it slightly deeper than the anchor is long so dust does not stop the anchor from seating flush. If the anchor spins instead of gripping, the hole was drilled oversize.
3) What size screw do red plastic wall anchors like the Metallics WAK1415H kit take?
The WAK1415H is a 5/16 red plastic wall anchor kit. Red plastic ribbed anchors in that body size are normally paired with a #14 to #16 sheet metal or wood screw, and the hole is drilled to match the anchor body diameter so the ribs bite as the screw expands it. Match the screw to the anchor you pull from the tray rather than reusing whatever screw came out of the wall.
4) Does the WAK1415H anchor kit include screws?
The WAK1415H is described as a 5/16 red plastic wall anchor kit in a tray. Plan on supplying your own screws sized to the anchor, typically a #14 to #16 pan or hex head sheet metal screw long enough to pass through the fixture and seat the full anchor length in the hole.
5) Is the Metallics WAK1415H sold as a kit or as loose anchors?
It ships as a wall anchor kit in a tray, under part number WAK1415H, so the anchors come organized in a tray rather than loose in a bag. That is the format electricians and maintenance crews keep on the van for mounting boxes, straps, and conduit clamps.
6) What are red plastic wall anchors used for on an electrical job?
They are the everyday anchor for fastening light-duty electrical work to masonry: conduit straps, device and junction box mounting, cable clamps, panels of trim, and surface raceway. The Metallics WAK1415H kit covers the 5/16 anchor size, which handles the larger screws used for straps and box mounting rather than small trim screws.
