Metallics WAK16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size screw do the Metallics WAK16 red plastic wall anchors take?
The WAK16 kit is built around 3/16 inch red plastic wall anchors sized for #8 screws. If you are hanging with #6 or #10 hardware, this is not the anchor to grab, match the anchor to the #8 shank so the plastic expands properly against the hole wall.
2) Can I use these red plastic anchors in drywall, or do I need a toggle?
Ribbed plastic expansion anchors like the WAK16 are meant for masonry, brick, block and plaster, where the hole holds its shape and the anchor can grip. In hollow drywall they spin out under load, so for a cavity wall use a toggle or a self drilling drywall anchor instead and save these for solid material.
3) What comes in the Metallics WAK16 wall anchor kit?
It is a 200 piece clamshell kit of 3/16 inch red plastic wall anchors in the #8 size. Good for a maintenance cart or a van stock item where you are setting device plates, brackets and small fixtures repeatedly.
4) What drill bit size do I use for a 3/16 red plastic wall anchor?
Drill the hole to match the anchor body, 3/16 inch, and drill it deeper than the anchor is long so dust does not bottom the anchor out. Tap the anchor flush, then drive the #8 screw.
5) Are Metallics WAK16 anchors suitable for mounting electrical boxes and straps?
That is exactly the intent. Metallics catalogs the WAK16 as an electrical fastener, and the #8 size suits light duty work like conduit straps, device covers, small junction boxes and low voltage brackets on masonry. For anything carrying real weight, step up to a sleeve or wedge anchor.
