Metallics ZSA1BS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes in the Metallics ZSA1BS anchor kit?
The ZSA1BS is a bulk pack of 1,500 pieces: #8 x 1-1/4 inch pan head tapping screws in zinc plated steel, supplied with the anchors. Screw and anchor ship together, so you are not buying the plastic anchor and the screw as two line items.
2) Will a #8 x 1-1/4 screw anchor hold a device box or strap on drywall or block?
That is what this size is for. A #8 x 1-1/4 inch pan head tapping screw with an anchor is the common pairing for mounting light duty electrical work, straps, clips, boxes and raceway to hollow drywall, plaster, masonry or block where a tapped hole is not available. For heavier structural loads you want a wedge or sleeve anchor instead, not a screw anchor of this size.
3) Are these zinc plated anchors OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The ZSA1BS screws are zinc plated steel, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry interior work. Keep them indoors. For exterior, wet or washdown locations use stainless steel fasteners rather than zinc plated steel.
4) Is the pan head on these Metallics anchors going to sit flat, or do I need a flat head?
Pan head, so the head sits proud on the surface with a broad flat bearing face. That is the right head for strapping, clips and box mounting where you want the head to bear down on the part. If you need the fastener flush in a countersunk hole, a pan head will not sit flush and you should specify a flat head screw instead.
5) Is the Metallics ZSA1BS sold individually or only as a bulk box?
Bulk only. The ZSA1BS part number is the 1,500 piece pack, which is how it is normally bought for contractor stock or an MRO crib rather than a single job.
6) What drill size do I need for these #8 anchors?
Match the bit to the anchor diameter supplied in the pack, not to the #8 screw. Drill the hole for the anchor, set the anchor flush, then drive the 1-1/4 inch pan head screw. Over-drilling is the usual reason a screw anchor spins out of drywall.
