Metallics J1001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hollow wall screw anchor is the Metallics J1001?
The J1001 is a 1/8 inch extra-short hollow wall screw anchor, sold in a jar of 100. Extra-short refers to the sleeve length, which is matched to thin wall material such as single-layer drywall or hollow panel; a longer sleeve in the same 1/8 inch diameter is used where the wall is thicker.
2) Can I use the Metallics J1001 anchor to mount an electrical box or device plate on drywall?
Yes. The J1001 is an electrical-trade fastener, and hollow wall screw anchors in 1/8 inch are commonly used for light loads like device plates, low voltage brackets, raceway clips and small box mounting on hollow walls. For heavier gear or anything cantilevered off the wall, use a toggle-style anchor instead.
3) Do hollow wall screw anchors come with the screws, or do I order those separately?
A hollow wall screw anchor assembly of this type is supplied as the expanding sleeve with its machine screw installed, so the J1001 jar of 100 gives you 100 complete anchor-and-screw sets. You still need the correct drill bit for the 1/8 inch anchor body.
4) Should I use a 1/8 hollow wall screw anchor or a toggle bolt?
A 1/8 inch hollow wall screw anchor like the J1001 sets by drilling a hole, driving the screw and letting the sleeve collapse behind the board, and it stays in the wall when you back the screw out, so you can remove and reinstall the item. A toggle bolt carries more load but drops its wing into the cavity once the bolt is removed. For device plates, clips and light brackets, the screw anchor is the faster set; for anything heavy, go to a toggle.
5) How is the Metallics J1001 anchor packaged for shop stock?
It ships as a jar of 100 pieces, which is the format most shops keep on the van or the bench for repeat drywall mounting work. Order in jar multiples if you want to stock more than 100.
