Metallics NT316 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screw size does the Metallics NT316 strap toggle anchor take?
The NT316 is a 3/16 inch strap toggle, which takes a 10-24 machine screw. If your fixture or strap is drilled for a 10-24 thread, this is the matching anchor; a 1/4-20 fixture needs the next size up.
2) Will a strap toggle like the Metallics NT316 hold in drywall where there is no stud?
That is exactly what a strap toggle is for. It drops through a hole in hollow drywall, the metal channel pulls flat against the back face, and the plastic straps hold it in place while you drive the 10-24 screw. No stud and no back access needed, which is why electricians use them for boxes, straps, and light fixtures on open-cavity walls.
3) How many anchors come in a bag of Metallics NT316?
NT316 ships 50 pieces per bag, so one bag covers a good run of hollow-wall fixture mounting without re-ordering between units.
4) Is the Metallics NT316 the same thing as a plastic wall anchor or a self-drilling drywall anchor?
No. The NT316 is a toggle-type anchor: it needs a clearance hole large enough to pass the folded toggle, then it anchors against the back of the board. A plastic expansion or self-drilling anchor threads into the face of the drywall only. If you want the higher pull-out capacity of a back-bearing toggle for a 10-24 screw, the NT316 is the right class of anchor; for light picture-hanging duty a face anchor is simpler.
5) What is the exact part number to order the 3/16 inch Metallics strap toggle?
Order Metallics NT316. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3/16 inch (10-24) strap toggle anchor, supplied 50 per bag.
6) Is the Metallics NT316 anchor meant for electrical work?
Yes, Metallics catalogues the NT316 as electrical fastening hardware, and the 10-24 thread matches the screw size used on a lot of box straps, hangers, and fixture canopies. It is a general hollow-wall anchor, so it works for mechanical and MRO mounting on drywall too.
