Metallics WAK23 Anchors 1/4 Gry Plas Wall Ancr Kit, 10 (Clam 200)

The WAK23 kit uses 1/4 inch gray plastic wall anchors. That is the anchor body size, so you drill to suit the 1/4 inch anchor and drive the supplied screw into it; the plastic sleeve expands against the sides of the hole as the screw goes in.

No. Expansion-type plastic anchors like the 1/4 inch gray anchors in the WAK23 kit are for light duty in drywall, plaster, or masonry, things like device plates, low-voltage brackets, cable straps, and small conduit clips. For a heavy fixture, a panel, or anything with leverage on it, use a toggle bolt, a self-drilling metal drywall anchor, or fasten into a stud or a concrete anchor instead.

It is sold as a wall anchor kit rather than loose anchors, so the 1/4 inch gray plastic anchors come packaged with matching screws. For an electrician or maintenance tech hanging a small box, strap, or bracket on drywall or plaster, that means nothing else has to be pulled from the truck except the drill bit.

Yes, within reason. The 1/4 inch plastic expansion anchor works in drywall and plaster as long as the load is light, and it also works in solid substrates like brick, block, and concrete where it grips the drilled hole. In hollow drywall the holding power comes from the anchor spreading behind the face of the board, so keep the load small and pull straight, not at an angle.

Packaging reads 10 per kit in a clamshell, 200 to the case. The clamshell is what makes it practical for van stock or a shop bin, and the case quantity is the number a property maintenance or MRO buyer would order to keep several techs supplied.
