Metallics 1008-MET – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hollow wall anchor is the Metallics 1008-MET, and how many come in a jar?
The Metallics 1008-MET is a 3/16 inch extra-long hollow wall anchor, packaged 100 to a jar. The extra-long body is the version you reach for when the wall material is thicker, since a standard-length anchor of the same 3/16 inch diameter may not clear the back face to expand properly.
2) Are the Metallics 1008-MET anchors UL listed for electrical work?
Yes. The 1008-MET hollow wall anchors are built to UL-514B and carry UL file E11259, which is why they turn up on electrical jobs where an inspector wants a listed fastener behind boxes and fittings rather than a generic hardware-store anchor.
3) What are the Metallics 1008-MET hollow wall anchors made of, and will they corrode?
Body material is zinc alloy with a plain finish. That is a dry-interior fastener: fine for drywall, plaster, and hollow block inside a conditioned building, but not something to specify for wet or exterior locations where you would want a stainless or coated anchor instead.
4) Should I use a 3/16 inch hollow wall anchor or a toggle bolt for mounting into drywall?
A hollow wall anchor like the 1008-MET sets with a setting tool from the face of the wall and stays in place when the screw is removed, so you can pull a device off and put it back without the anchor dropping into the cavity. A toggle bolt carries more load but falls inside the wall the moment the bolt comes out. For electrical boxes, straps, and light fixtures that may be serviced later, the hollow wall anchor is the easier one to live with.
5) What part number do I order for the Metallics extra-long 3/16 inch hollow wall anchor?
Order by manufacturer part number 1008-MET from Metallics. That number covers the 3/16 inch extra-long zinc alloy hollow wall anchor supplied 100 to a jar, which is the ordering unit distributors stock it in.
