Metallics WAK16R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size anchor and screw come in the Metallics WAK16R wall anchor kit?
The Metallics WAK16R is a 3/16 inch red plastic wall anchor kit packed with #8 screws, supplied 200 to a clamshell. The red plastic anchors and the screws are matched, so you are not sizing a screw to the anchor yourself on the job.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 3/16 red plastic wall anchor?
Red plastic wall anchors of this type are sized by the hole they seat in, so the WAK16R anchors go into a 3/16 inch drilled hole. Drill clean and to the full depth of the anchor body, tap the anchor flush, then drive the supplied #8 screw to expand it.
3) Can I use the Metallics WAK16R red plastic anchors to hang electrical boxes or conduit straps on drywall?
They are made for light duty fastening into hollow wall material, which is what plastic expansion anchors do: device plates, small raceway and strap runs, low voltage brackets. For a load like a heavy fixture, a panel, or anything hanging off a ceiling, move to a toggle or a threaded anchor instead. The WAK16R is stocked as an electrical fastener, and it covers the small stuff on a trim-out.
4) Do I need anything besides the anchor kit to install these?
Only a drill and a 3/16 inch bit plus a screwdriver. Screws are included with the anchors in the WAK16R kit, so there is no separate fastener to order.
5) Is the WAK16R a bulk pack or a small contractor kit?
It is a 200 piece clamshell of 3/16 inch red anchors with #8 screws, so it is a van stock or shop quantity rather than a job specific count. Property maintenance crews and electricians typically buy this size once and draw from it across many service calls.
