Metallics MAQ316 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size anchor is the Metallics MAQ316 nylon plug, and how many come in a jar?
The MAQ316 is a 3/16 x 1 inch nylon plug anchor, packed 100 to a jar. One jar covers a typical day of mounting conduit straps, device boxes or small brackets to masonry without reordering.
2) Do nylon plug anchors like the Metallics MAQ316 come with screws?
The MAQ316 is the plug only, 100 of them to the jar. You supply the screw. Size the screw so it threads tightly into the 3/16 inch plug body and is long enough to pass through your strap or bracket plus the full 1 inch of plug depth.
3) Will the MAQ316 anchor hold in drywall or hollow block?
A 3/16 x 1 nylon plug is made for solid base material, brick, block web and poured concrete, where the plug can expand against a drilled hole. In hollow block cells or drywall it has nothing to grip, so use a toggle or a hollow wall anchor there.
4) What is a nylon plug anchor used for on electrical work?
It is a light-duty masonry anchor. You drill the hole, tap the nylon plug flush, then drive a screw, which expands the plug against the hole wall. Electricians use the 3/16 x 1 size for conduit straps, clips, raceway, box mounting and small device plates on brick, block and concrete. For heavier loads, a sleeve or wedge anchor is the right call instead.
5) Is nylon a problem for anchors in damp or outdoor locations?
Nylon does not rust, which is why plug anchors are common in damp basements, parking structures and exterior masonry. The screw you pair with it is the corrosion weak point, so use a plated or stainless screw outdoors.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/16 x 1 nylon plug anchor?
Order it as Metallics MAQ316. That number covers the 3/16 x 1 inch nylon plug in the 100-count jar.
