Metallics WAKJ16QD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size anchor and screw are in the Metallics WAKJ16QD wall anchor kit?
The WAKJ16QD kit pairs 3/16 inch red plastic wall anchors with #8 screws, packed 200 to a jar. The anchor diameter and screw size are matched, so you are not sorting through mixed sizes on the truck.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 3/16 inch red plastic wall anchor?
A 3/16 inch plastic anchor takes a 3/16 inch masonry bit, drilled to the full length of the anchor so it seats flush. That is the convention for ribbed plastic anchors sized by diameter, and the WAKJ16QD kit is a 3/16 inch anchor with a #8 screw.
3) Are plastic wall anchors like these OK for hanging an electrical box or conduit strap on block?
Plastic ribbed anchors of this type are for light duty work: device boxes on drywall, conduit straps, low voltage plates, cover plates, signage. They are a friction anchor, not a load-rated concrete anchor. For anything carrying real weight or a seismic requirement, use a screw anchor or a wedge anchor instead. Metallics catalogs the WAKJ16QD as an electrical fastener anchor, and it is sold as a jar of 200 with screws for high-count repetitive mounting.
4) Will the Metallics WAKJ16QD anchor kit work in drywall as well as masonry?
Yes on both, with a caveat. In block, brick or concrete the red plastic anchor expands against solid material and holds well. In hollow drywall it only grips the thickness of the board, so for anything beyond a light plate or strap you want a toggle or self drilling drywall anchor instead. The kit is 3/16 inch anchors with #8 screws.
5) Does the WAKJ16QD kit come with screws, or do I order those separately?
Screws are included. It is a kit: 3/16 inch red plastic anchors matched with #8 screws, 200 in the jar, so nothing else is needed to make up the mount besides the drill bit.
6) How is the Metallics WAKJ16QD packaged for a service van or MRO stockroom?
It ships as a jar of 200, which is the format most electrical contractors and maintenance shops stock for repetitive light mounting. One part number, one size, no sorting. There is a single model on the WAKJ16QD, so there is no size or finish choice to specify when ordering.
