Metallics WAKJ16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size screw do the Metallics WAKJ16 red plastic wall anchors take?
The WAKJ16 kit is a 3/16 inch red plastic wall anchor sized for a #8 screw. Pair it with a #8 sheet metal or pan head screw long enough to pass through the fixture and fully engage the anchor body once it is seated flush in the wall.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 3/16 red plastic anchor?
Drill to match the anchor body: the WAKJ16 anchor is a 3/16 inch plastic ribbed anchor, so a 3/16 inch masonry or twist bit is the matching hole. The anchor should tap in snug and sit flush with the wall surface before the #8 screw goes in and expands it.
3) How many anchors come in the Metallics WAKJ16 wall anchor kit?
It ships as a jar of 200 red plastic anchors, so it is a bulk service-truck or shop item rather than a single-job pack. One model, WAKJ16, is the only configuration.
4) Are these red plastic anchors any good for hanging electrical boxes and device plates on drywall and block?
Plastic expansion anchors like the WAKJ16 are light duty. They are the usual choice for low-load electrical work, mounting straps, small raceway, device plates, low voltage boxes and signage, into drywall, plaster, block or masonry. For anything carrying real weight or subject to pull-out, step up to a toggle or a metal screw anchor instead.
5) Is the Metallics WAKJ16 an electrical-trade item or a general hardware anchor?
Metallics catalogs the WAKJ16 as an electrical fastener, and it is the kind of anchor an electrician keeps on the truck for mounting straps, clamps and plates. Nothing about it is exclusive to electrical work though, so it does the same job for general fixture mounting.
