Metallics WAKJ7 Anchors 3/16 Wht Plas Wall Ancr Kit, 6 (Jar 200)

The WAKJ7 is a 3/16 inch white plastic wall anchor kit, supplied in a jar of 200 pieces. The 3/16 figure is the anchor body size, so the hole is drilled to match the anchor rather than the screw.

Ribbed plastic expansion anchors like the WAKJ7 suit light duty work in drywall, plaster and masonry, device plates, small brackets, conduit clips, signage, cable hangers. They expand against the side of the drilled hole. For anything carrying real weight in hollow drywall, a toggle bolt or self drilling metal anchor is the better call because a plastic anchor relies on a clean, correctly sized hole and a thin board gives it very little to grip.

Order Metallics WAKJ7. That number covers the 3/16 white plastic wall anchor kit in the 200 count jar, there are no finish or size variations under it.

It is sold as a kit, 3/16 plastic wall anchors in a 200 piece jar with the matching size 6 hardware called out in the kit designation. For a large hanging job, buying the jar quantity is the usual way MRO and maintenance crews stock this rather than counting out blister packs.

Metallics catalogs the WAKJ7 as electrical fastening hardware, which is why electricians stock it on the truck for mounting straps, boxes and low voltage plates. Nothing about a 3/16 plastic anchor limits it to electrical work though, drywall and finish trades use the same anchor for light duty mounting.
