Metallics MAU81 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the MAU81 nylon plug in concrete, block, and brick, or is it for drywall?
It is a multi-purpose masonry plug. Nylon plugs like the MAU81 are made for solid base material, concrete, brick, block, and stone, where the plug expands against the hole wall as the screw goes in. Hollow drywall is a different job: use a toggle or a self-drilling drywall anchor there instead.
2) What screw do I need with the Metallics MAU81 plug? Is one included?
Screws aren't part of the jar, the MAU81 is 100 plugs only. Pair the 1/4 inch plug with a screw sized so it bites the full length of the 1-3/4 inch plug, and make sure the screw is long enough to pass through the fixture and still reach the bottom of the plug.
3) Is the MAU81 the right anchor for mounting conduit straps and electrical boxes to a concrete wall?
That's the use it's catalogued for. Metallics sells the MAU81 into electrical work, and a 1/4 inch by 1-3/4 inch nylon plug is the usual way one-hole straps, strut, box brackets, and small enclosures get fixed to masonry when a drop-in or wedge anchor is more than the load needs.
4) How is a nylon plug like the MAU81 different from a sleeve anchor or a wedge anchor?
A nylon plug grips by friction when the screw expands the plastic, so it is non-corroding, it can be set in a shallow or hollow-ish masonry wall without splitting the face, and the screw can be backed out and reset. A wedge or sleeve anchor is steel and carries much more tension and shear, which is what you want for structural or overhead load. For light fixture, strap, and enclosure mounting at 1/4 inch, the MAU81 plug is the normal choice.
5) What part number do I order for the Metallics 1/4 x 1-3/4 nylon plug?
Order Metallics MAU81. That is the single model for the 1/4 by 1-3/4 inch multi-purpose nylon plug in the 100-count jar.
