Metallics WAKJ14 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will Metallics 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchors hold in drywall, or do I need a hollow-wall toggle?
Drywall is one of the wall types these anchors are made for, along with plasterboard and hollow masonry. The plastic body expands against the back of the hole as the screw draws in, so the grip is mechanical rather than dependent on a toggle wing. For medium-duty loads like an outlet box, a switch plate, a thermostat, or a small bracket, the 1/4 inch red anchor is the normal choice. For heavy loads hung off a single point, a toggle-style hollow wall anchor does more.
2) Does the 1/4 inch on the Metallics WAKJ14 anchor mean the screw size or the anchor size?
It is the anchor diameter. The WAKJ14 is a 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchor, so the pilot hole is drilled to suit the anchor body and the screw runs inside it. Buyers sizing off a screw gauge should work from the anchor, not the fastener.
3) Plastic or metal anchor for mounting a box in older plaster and drywall?
Plastic is the safer pick where the wall material is brittle. The red plastic body expands without the wedging force a metal anchor puts into the wall, which is what cracks plaster and crumbles drywall face paper. It also will not corrode, so it holds up in damp locations where a steel anchor would rust. Where the load is high or the substrate is solid concrete, a metal anchor is the better tool.
4) Can I use these Metallics anchors to mount a junction box or switch plate on a hollow wall?
That is the intended use. The 1/4 inch red plastic anchor is specified for electrical work, outlet boxes, switch plates, junction boxes and panel mounting among them, plus conduit mounting hardware. Set the anchor flush with the wall face, run the screw through the box ear into the anchor, and tighten gradually so the anchor expands rather than spins in the hole.
5) How many anchors come in the Metallics red plastic wall anchor kit?
Ten. The WAKJ14 kit is a 10 piece pack of 1/4 inch red plastic anchors, which covers a handful of device boxes or a few bracket mounts rather than a full rough-in. Crews standardizing an anchor across a building will want multiple kits rather than one.
6) What else besides electrical work are 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchors used for?
The same anchor carries HVAC and plumbing work: thermostats, vent covers, return air grilles, control panels, fixture mounting brackets, pipe supports and access panels. Trim, shelving brackets and cabinet hardware are on the list as well. For a maintenance crew it is one anchor to stock across trades rather than three.
7) Why are these Metallics wall anchors red?
Red is size coding. Anchor manufacturers color the body so the size can be read at a glance in the pouch and during an inspection walk, and on the Metallics kit red is the 1/4 inch. It matters most on a job where two or three anchor sizes are in the same bag.
