Metallics J1004 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hollow wall anchor is the Metallics J1004, and what is it used for?
The J1004 is a 3/16 inch short hollow wall screw anchor, the type used to hang boxes, straps, conduit clamps and light fixtures on drywall or plaster where there is no stud behind the finish. Short body means it is sized for thinner wall board rather than deep cavities.
2) Can the Metallics J1004 be used in a solid concrete or masonry wall?
No. The J1004 is a hollow wall anchor, so it needs an open cavity behind the finish to expand into. In solid concrete, block or brick, use a masonry anchor such as a sleeve, wedge or plastic screw anchor rated for solid base material instead.
3) Does the Metallics J1004 hollow wall anchor come in bulk, or do I buy them singly?
They ship 100 anchors to a jar, which is the only pack configuration for the J1004. That jar count is the ordering unit, so plan quantities in multiples of 100 for a rough-in or fixture run.
4) Should I use a short or long hollow wall anchor for my drywall?
Anchor length has to match the thickness of the wall material it grips. The Metallics J1004 is the short 3/16 version, intended for thinner board; if you are anchoring through thicker drywall, a double layer, or plaster over lath, step up to the long version of the same 3/16 anchor so the sleeve can still expand behind the wall instead of binding inside the hole.
5) Is the J1004 an electrical-trade fastener or general construction hardware?
Metallics catalogues the J1004 as an electrical fastener, which is why it is stocked in 100-count jars for electricians mounting boxes, device plates and fixture straps to hollow walls. Nothing stops a remodeler or maintenance tech using the same anchor for general drywall mounting.
